This was probably the most dingiest hotel I've ever stayed in my entire life. The room was disgustingly dirty. The TV had no remote. Window curtains were torn to shreds. The window would barley closed. Capet was stained all over. The shower hadn't been cleaned in months and there was no hot water and it wouldn't drain properly. The staff was informed and did nothing about it. It was so bad, I left two days early. I could have stayed at a Holiday Inn for a better price. Not worth $100 a night. I Seriously want a refund.

TERRIBLE. I have stayed in traditional British hotels with shared bathrooms and basic facilities many times. In this category, Gresham Hotel is near the bottom of the barrel. The hotel was miserably cold. Water pressure was very low on the third floor. The shared bathrooms were primitive by 1980s standards: a common linoleum floor for shower and toilet. Of two bathrooms, on our floor, one had a completely broken door latch and was effectively unusable. Window curtains in the bedroom were dangling half-attached to the curtain rod. The wall by the bed had fluid stains. Good things? There were no insects visible. Staff were polite when available. Otherwise, this hotel is poor at any price.

Know What You're Getting (and Don't Expect Wifi)
The thing to be clear is that this is basically a boarding house. Hotels.com says some of the bathrooms are "shared." I took that to mean two rooms share a bathroom; but no, it means there are a couple toilets and showers in the middle of the hallway which all these rooms share. It's kind of nasty, and on my floor neither worked when I first arrived. Having said that, the staff were all wonderful. And when I pointed out the problem, they immediately moved me to another floor. The location is great if you want to be near the theater and Soho. The bed was fine, which given the condition of everything else was actually a really nice surprise. There's no tea or coffee provided; there's really nothing provided. (Don't believe them about the wifi. It was absolutely non-existent.) I was there four days and they never once changed the sheets or towels, which was weird, and again, kind of nasty. But again, if you're just looking for a cheap place to crash for a few days, it's fine.

Would've loved to have given a better review however, the venue was extremely basic. Service was friendly, and we were given a free upgrade to a ground floor ensuite as I was travelling with my 80 yr old father to see a show, and his mobility and eyesight is quiet poor. So that was really lovely of the lady on reception. However, we arrived from Birmingham at the venue at 2:40pm and we were told to come back in an hour as our room wasn't ready, so we weren't able to wait 20 mins to check on. Instead, we left our bags and walked over the road to grab a cuppa and came back and hour later. We were given a room at the annexe which is approx 3 buildings walk away?! Very weird set up. Got into the room, and even though it was spacious and clean, the room itself is on desperate need of a make over. Our front door looked like it had lunch holes in it, the wardrobe door was broken, furniture was lacking in comfort and looked like it had been donated for free to the venue as someone was throwing it out. The bathroom was cramped, and when sat on the loo, your knees hit the sink?! So as much as I appreciated the fact the staff had upgraded us, it still didn't feel very accessible to my elderly father. Also, our neighbours were loud and disrespectful of other guests in the hotel. Priced well and fairly for it's location, and based on it's appearance.

It is more a student residence instead of a hotel. Very limited services. No daily room cleaning. No WiFi. No restaurant, no safe box, etc. The bed and courtains seems kind of old. Nevertheless, it’s around the corner of the British museum and Tottenham Court Underground station. 20 minutes walk to Picadilly anda Tlafalgare Squares. Very accessible
