The Garth Hotel

All in all, a good hotel. Fantastic location – close to everything. One day we didn’t even use the metro. The hotel is a bit worn and could use a bit of TLC, but if it’s just for a place to sleep, there’s really nothing to complain about.

The room could have done with being decorated, wallpaper was ripped off, the curtains just about met in the middle and the furniture had seen better days

Room was clean. The tv didn’t have many channels and reception was bad. The cups are too small and didn’t have enough teabags and milk. The reception is closed after 10.30 and the key to get in to the hotel was difficult to turn in the lock.

Déplorable , la pire chose à dire est qu il y avait un énorme trou sur un des sommier, avec des bouts de bois dessus .Comment voulez vous dormir sur ça et proposer ce service a la clientèle ? Impossible de se plaindre car personne à l accueil la nuit . Le lendemain , j en informe l employé, qui fait mine de ne pas être au courant. Il me dit que le problème sera reglé dans 2 heures. Je reviens en fin de journée pensant que c était réglé. Je découvre qu ils ont juste rajouté une couette pour combler le trou du sommier. Bref , à fuir . Manager ne répond pas . Ps: impossible d envoyer les photos sous ce commentaire....

Positives - low cost accommodation in good location, comfortable bed and seemingly clean linen Negatives - low cost but still overall poor quality overall, extremely tired and tatty furniture, stained and old decoration, draft from somewhere, bathroom lights not working and not remedied despite reporting, far too many emails sent prior to arrival purporting to offer warm welcome and provide information.

Was very worried about what we were going into due to some reviews but just for somewhere to sleep it isn’t all bad. The rooms could do with being updated as very run down. We had trouble getting in the door and when trying to ring and text the emergency number we got no reply but eventually got in and the pillows were rock solid. The guy who checked us in was polite but was the only person dealing with the building so could probably do with a few more staff

We stayed one night as it was close to the station and we had a train early on the morning. Terrible smell of damp in the shower which was not cleaned properly with hair scattered on the floor, ball of hair in the toilet as well. Found a wad of loo roll under my pillow, looked clean but not sure how it got there, hopefully when they were changing the bed linen, not after the previous guest. Wonky glass shelves in the bathroom looked like a disaster about to happen, especially one in the shower. Thick duvets and radiator turned up to tge max, impossible to regulate - it was +10 outside so hardly needed the heating! Last straw was no hair dryer, as discovered at about 4am, couldn't ask reception for one. Staff was perfectly polite, however hotels.com spammed me for about a week before the stay with at least 2 emails a day! On the day of stay I received about 6 emails, first saying how excited they were to have me and thanking for my check-in before I had a chance to arrive. Then again, hours before our arrival it already thanked for the stay and hoped it was pleasant. Made me feel like blocking the site email altogether.

Ok

This hotel was horrible. It had bedbugs and I got bites all over my body as well as my kids and then they refused to give me a refund.

Its ok for the price but too small room

Another case of , you pay for what you get so I must say that my room was excellent value for what I paid.

As they say, "you get what you pay for". The property is very dated, the reception lady was very nice. As the property faces a main road it is very noisy all the time. The biggest issue i have was that i got biten extensively all over my feet and legs while sleeping....over a dozen bites. That is the reason for the poor rating.

The check in was great! The building was lush. The room was ample. We had a good stay.

Did exactly what i needed which was somewhere to sleep. Was clean enough.

Did the job

The Garth Hotel is located in a lovely part of Central London, handy for theatres and shops.

A little dated,could do with a refurbishment although overall ok.

Chambre au -1 comme si nous étions à la cave , pas de porte un rideau ! L'odeur insupportable odeur d'égout, chambre minuscule, draps du lit sales, bref je déconseille !

The reviews on google in particular made me pretty scared for my stay here but I found it fine. Everything is old, my room was tiny, most likely a converted bathroom or a study at best but it was what I was expecting based on the listing. I cant speak for all rooms but I found no evidence of bedbugs in room 2 and gathering from my contact with the hotel prior to my stay they have had pest control to remove them from the rooms. The location is really great, as a solo female traveller I never felt unsafe walking along nearby streets at night and its a small walk from multiple underground stations and the British Museum. You will not find luxury at this hotel but it’s not as if they are advertising it as so. I think some reviews are a bit exaggerated or the big problems raised in them (i.e bedbugs) have been rectified. Its a fine hotel for a couple of nights in a good location on a budget, I did enjoy my trip here.

It’s not often we do London so we wanted to do it on a budget. Whilst the hotel is a bit tired it was warm and comfortable. The staff were brilliant and it’s ideally placed to get into the West End on foot very easily. We were able to drop off our bags before check in as we had theatre tickets booked for afternoon performance. You get what you pay for. It was fine for one night. Great rates. Thanks for a good stay.
