Charlie Hotel

"Horrific place to stay - as a Londoner who needed a place to stay after a night out, this was shockingly bad. When I walked in, it seemed okay. I wasn’t phased by having a small room. What really bothered me was how the bedsheets smelt of someone else’s sweat and mould combined. The hot water didn’t work so having a shower was a mission and for my friend, his flush didn’t work. Luckily we could grin and bare it for the night but I’d honestly pay extra to get a better place. Even then what we paid for, we didn’t even get basic amenities."

"Just a stones throw from the O2 Forum, this hotel is ideal if you're going to see a concert at the venue. The beds are comfortable although I think the radiator was broken in our room. The bathroom is very small with barely any space and there was mold on the wall. When you turn on the tap it smells bad. But for the price it's good value and absolutely good for a night."

"This Hotel is very much perfect for most of central London for people on a budget. If you're looking for the Ritz look elsewhere. For 60 pound you're about 10 mins from Tufnell Park Tube Station where you can access greater London in a 10-20 min tube ride. We walked home in nice weather in about 40 mins from Oxford Circus. The rooms are small and old like most of the houses in London. The rooms are clean and decent for your stay. The showers are small.... if you want a large Loo reserve a room at the Hilton for 240 pound a night. The Breakfast was Very Good and there was plenty of it... you could ask for seconds on bread, juice, coffee. The people were very accomodating. Again, as has been stated in other reviews, the main problem with the negative reviewers is that expect a 200 pound hotel for 60 pound. Their expectations are unrealistic. I can afford the expensive hotels, but if I am just passing through for a day or two and not going to be around the hotel I have stayed here and it is thoroughly fine. They even had a nice reading lamp. Good value for your money."

"Avoid. Rooms are horrific. I had a tiny room in a basemnt with a dirty carpet, bedding with blood stains, bathroom with mould, damp smell of over the corridor and rooms. Plus bed bugs in bed. Didn't stay overnight. I am the last one to write a bad review but this place is beyond bad. Great location but nothing else. Do not recommend."

"I can't believe all the negative reviews here. People think they can pay £50 a night for a B&B and get Ritz-level service. This place was excellent, provided everything I needed and the most amazing English breakfast. It's family-run and they're lovely and very generous: they told us to take as much juice/coffee/toast as we wanted. This is far better than the ghastly Greene King/Travelodge hotels I've been in that cost a lot more. Totally recommended."
