Stayed at the hotel for a course/exam. Real value for money. Very impressed by everything-breakfast good, staff friendly. Excellent location. Not far from anything and close to transport links. Bus stop opppsite which goes to oxford street and takes 5mins. Bathroom is my room was wet room/pod. Did the job and was very clean. Would go back. Thanks!

I stayed a couple of nights, friendly and welcoming staff, very clean and decent size double room with a small bathroom, bed was confortable but temperature during night too warm. Breakfast was a bit poor for the continental choice, only 2 kind of jam, coffee was too light, milk only cold, only one kind of tea, no croissants or other... More

We had a nice stay of 3 nights at Arran House hotel! We booked a room for two WITH our own bathroom.I think sharing a bathroom is going to be a bit crowded because the bathrooms are quite tiny. Our room had everything we needed. If you are looking for luxury....don't book! If you want to explore the city and... More

IArran House Hotel is a place where you will find clen room, good bed, a litlle garden and nice personell! It is placed in a quiet place, on a long street with others hotels. You can find a Tesco not to far from it, in case you need some necessary little things to buy. I was there 19 years ago... More

I suspect that one's experience of staying in this hotel may vary largerly with the kind of room one gets. I booked a single room, and got one whose surface was less than 3 square meters: just barely enough place for a (single) bed, right next to the entrance door, and a tiny passage next to it. It felt like... More

Only stayed 1 night - single room shared bathroom - cheap but adequate. Service good, very central to where I was going, buffet style breakfast included in cost which was good. Seemed clean and well looked after. Lounge was good too. Only problem was traffic noise - my room overlooked Gower Street and the noise started at about 5am -... More

I stayed with my daughter for 3 nights in October. The hotel is close to Kings Cross, St Pancras and Euston stations. Walking time about 30 minutes. The location is very good for the price straight down the road for 20 minutes and you are in Shaftsbury Avenue the heart of the theatre district. A 20 minute walk will take... More

My fiance and I stayed at the Arran House Hotel in London this past March and had a mediocre experience. First the pros: - Good location - very close to the British Museum and Oxford Street; walking distance to many places (if you have good shoes), otherwise the Tube is also very close. - Good breakfast - Internet The cons:...

While the double room we stayed in was small, it was clean and well presented. The bathroom was outside the room but was clean. We cant comment on the breakfast as we didnt have it. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was a lovely garden out back. The location was perfect, approx 15 min walk to Soho/Leicester Sq area.... More

Great breakfast, clean bedding, towels and bathrooms. Nice employees. Close to subway station and bus stops. We had a room at the very top of the building which was a hard climb, but what you get with Expedia. No a/c. and it was noisy sleeping with the window open.
