The location is good, sadly that is the only good thing I have to say. There is no air conditioning number one and when you open the window the tiny crack that you can it is so very very noisy.  …

Good location. Not too far from stations and very good access to all the shops.I was on the 1st floor, the carpets in the halls were worn through, the doors had some stories to tell, and the bouncer stationed there was pretty novel to me. The room however, was absolutely fine! A little worn, but the bathroom was spotless and the sheets fresh and clean, which is all you can really ask for at this price point.

Location is 10/10. However do not stay here until they get their elevators fixed. I had to carry my bag down six flights of stairs after waiting for the elevator for 30 minutes and each time it was full because they are so small and slow and one was not working. Rooms are just ok, but you get what you pay for and the hotel is affordable for the location.

Stayed here on 2 different occasions recently. First time I got an upgrade to a renovated room which was okay standard, location is great but seems to be constant issues with lifts. Always many guests waiting and ending up taking the stairs most time which is not ideal from floor 10 for example.Second stay just now I got an old room... not great and not recommended. Cheapish at 100 gbp as location is great, but not coming back unless I know its a renovated room.Make your research!

We had a wonderful stay here! The location was ideal for us as it was walking distance to many spots and so close to the tube that getting around was easy! The staff were also amazing but the one who stood out to us as she helped us so much and was so friendly and kind when we had a problem was Mikela (I am sorry if I spelt that incorrectly) at the front desk! We really appreciated everything she helped us with and I hope that she gets recognized for that! The whole staff were incredible! We also had dinner in the restaurant and thought it was both delicious and reasonable! The only thing that was a little problem was the AC was not particularly effective and so I found it a little warm at night! However, that was a minor thing. We will definitely stay here again though!

I am currently staying at St Giles London and would like to comment on the hotel’s supervisor Mikele for her exceptionally good service in helping my wife and I during our stay. She was able to offer us a better room after we detected an error in the booking with Agoda. She was patient and understanding in helping us resolve the error, which helped put us at ease. I would like to express my gratitude for her professionalism and quick thinking on the spot. St Giles has a good central location in London but the rooms are quite dated. Overall still a hotel to consider staying while visiting London.

What a PR disaster……. Booked a classic room as we just needed a bed to rest and for one night. When we arrived there was a huge notice about building work but it should be minimal.  …

While we paid for and selected the "cosy" twin room, we werent expecting it to be quite so small! You couldnt even easily wash your face because there was a shelf above the sink. …

Lovely hotel in a perfect location. Hotel room was standard and very clean, the only thing I would say about the room is that it needs air-conditioning but a fan was provided. We had breakfast at the hotel in the morning which was lovely, all you can eat buffet and the food was great. We also went for drinks at the hotel bar which was also very nice and all reasonable priced for central London. The hotel is located right by a main train station and the underground. Plenty of shops around and theatres. Would definitely recommend and visit again.
