From outside it looked good. But the room was a huge let down .. having no mattress protectors gave me the ick as did the stains on the side of the divan base. The bathroom was dated, smelly and no sink plug.  …

Our room was old outdated.Beds old and stained. However, mattresses were new (so good point on that one)Small room for triple room.The bathroom is very small, dark, and a bad smell from the floor drain.Only one plug with extension cable for fridge phones, ect, not really that safe.Bit noisy from a big extraction fan outside. The room was then hot as we had to close the window because of noise.Breakfast is very poor for English breakfast, 2 eggs, 1 sausage and beans (no bacon, tomato,hash browns, fried bread etc) not really got continental breakfast boiled egg, musli milk, toast.No proper coffee is only instant.For £143 per night, we won't be returning as it's a bit overpriced.

We were on the 4th floor on the street side. The hotel itself is neat and clean, the staff is very nice and helpful. The room is very small and the breakfast is poor. You are asked if you want an English breakfast, eggs, beans, sausage. …

2024/SeptemberHello again,This was the second time we stayed at the Gresham Hotel, and all I can say is that everything was excellent. The room was recently renovated, very clean, and the staff was polite and professional. The hotel's good location is crucial when visiting London, and the neighborhood is safe and welcoming. There are plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from, offering good food at reasonable prices.--2023/SeptemberI just loved to stay at this very well located hotel.I loved the treatment received, the breakfasts were very well attended and varied. The facilities are very clean and the atmosphere is calm and quiet.I highly recommend to book a room at this beautiful hotel next time you visit London.
