Close to underground and British museum and possible to walk to Covent garden in 20 minutes. Street quite noisy and miss breakfast

This is our second stay at The Garth and certainly not the best. We arrived at 1340 and were told in no uncertain terms check in is at 1400 come back then. Most places we stay if we are early would check if the room was ready and available. The room we had was down the stairs behind a curtain with a step which is difficult to see and I stumbled down it the first time. The bedroom must have once been the box room and it had been converted. Wallpapering was poor and the sink cracked and no plug. The bed was comfortable and we had a good night sleep. The radiator wasn’t working so an electrical heater was in the room with a trip hazard cable to an extension lead with everything plugged in - potential fire hazard. The shower/toilet was behind the curtain, the shower was hot with plentiful hot water. The room itself is showing signs of wear and needs a good over haul. Outside the shower/toilet there was a strong sewage smell which wasn’t there on check in. We were disappointed as our previous stay in July was much better

Very good location and good service. The. Ed are comfortable but the bathroom very small. The heating were ON all the night and the room were very hot unnecessary

A central London budget hotel, you get what you pay for, so not 3 or 4 star. No bed bugs as far as I'm aware and ok for a one night sleep over. Only grumble was a very weak shower Overall was ok.

Nice people, good value, close to everything

My three friends and I only stayed at the Garth Hotel for a few hours. As we were going to bed on the first night, bed bugs started crawling all over us and our beds. The hotel offered us another room for ONE night for only TWO of us! They couldn’t help us find another hotel even though it was almost midnight and they wouldn’t give us a refund even though the room was uninhabitable. Need I say more???!

The hotel has a bed bug infestation. I made two bookings for two consecutive weeks, but after I stayed and got completely covered in bug bites, I asked for a refund for the second booking which was yet to start in a week's time. The reply was that bed bugs are a London problem and that they won't refund it. They don't even want to refund me for the future stay although they admitted they have bed bugs. I am now out of pocket now as I have to pay again for another hotel next week. I should have read the reviews warning about bed bugs but didn't. I hope this review saves the skin and homes of other potential guests who are reading it.

This looked better in the pictures than what we got. Yes the price is sort of fair but the sheets had holes in it, so did the bedding. The room didn't look like it had been properly cleaned in a while. No dust but the carpet wasn't really pleasant to be honest. Bathroom looked clean but the water in the shower didn't run off properly/fast enough which gives one the suspicion that the drains haven't been cleaned/rinsed in a long while.

Close to the Goodge Street underground station And within walking distance to the British Museum and Tottenham Court Area of London

Nothing fancy. Good and simple hotel. Perfect location.

Horrible experience. Bedbugs and the room smelled like sewage avoid at all costs.

It was a horrible hotel. Old and smelling terrible. The manager didn't authorize the refund of one night, even I showed him pictures of mices in his hotel room. I would never recomend this hotel ever!! Hotels.com shouldn't even have this kind of hotels in their web site

The area was nice. The hotel was dirty. The room looked dirty and not well maintained. Also, had we not been exhausted after a long day, we would have noticed bed bugs crawling on the walls and a large number of eggs right on the wall above our bed. I woke up itching and found multiple large bites on my arms, legs, back and the same on my children’s arms, legs and even on my son’s face. We felt disgusted and checked out that morning even though we were booked in for one more night. The staff apologised and assured us the rooms get checked thoroughly in between guests which was obviously a lie taking into account the large number of eggs present on the wall. The staff also did not bother to approve a refund leaving expedia to deal with it.

Good for short stay. The place is old, bed little uncomfortable . All this compensated by warm welcoming Very kind people at the reception.

The room was on the ground floor facing the front of the property which was six feet from the road a busy Road with noise all night long only secondary glazing on the Windows the room was very warm one electric fan provided constant noise throughout the night with doors slamming sounded like removal men next door

Great place to stay the night everything is nearby and staff are very friendly!

Great location for train stations, underground and city centre. Good communication. Friendly staff. Very clean. Felt safe. Would absolutely stay again. Is tired - basic. Not fancy hotel. Budget friendly. All emails prior to checking in said check out midday but it's 10am. Staff came shortly after 10am to say I'd overstayed and may need to pay extra. Sorted once showed emails but they need to sort out their automatic emails and correct information.

I wouldn't take too much notice of poor reviews, I was sceptical but for the price and location you really can't argue at the value for money. The decor is dated and needs a refresh but the important thing like the mattress, bed sheets, bathroom were all absolutely fine. I've booked to stay for another night when I'm back in a couple of weeks. Perfect for a couple of nights. Shower was a little weak as others mentioned, but it was more than sufficient to use.
