LSE Carr-Saunders Hall

It is a student accommodation only open to tourists during academic vacations, so don't expect a hotel-like experience. But still, a worth recommended place to stay if you are traveling. The room is bit small but clean and tidy. The location is excellent, as you can reach many decent restaurants and tourists attractions by foot. The public space in the ground floor is fantastic. Furthermore, the property have a self-service laundry room with several washing machine and dryer which is great if you sick of overpriced laundry services in some hotel. The breakfast is the best aspects of this property. It is definitely exceptional with its varieties and tastes. Definitely recommend. Overall, absolutely worth the price and would surely booked again.

The room was spotless, temperature was kept comfortable and the trip down the hall to the loo and showers was not a burden--reminded me of staying in modest hotels near Russell Square, five decades ago! And there was plenty of hot water--good work. Breakfast was a noisy treat; I enjoyed sharing tables with the visiting students and diverse tourists. The restaurant serving staff were friendly and the food was well prepared--it was a distinct improvement over the breakfasts I remember from my own student days (in Edinburgh, not London, mind you...). Would probably give the vegetarian "sausages" (more like rissoles) a pass in future, but my wife and daughter loved them. Superb location., very convenient for the British Library, Oxford Street and Regent's Park. The Fitzrovia neighborhood is blue-plaque-spotters' heaven! And having what I remember calling the Post Office Tower literally across the road provided a convenient orienteering landmark. The staff on the front desk were helpful and welcoming and displayed a sense of humor. I wish that a couple of them worked for me!

Buffet breakfast was great and this was included in the room rate! The price of food in London is extremely high so "free" breakfast is highly appreciated. But standard of service of the staff was very different. we stayed for four nights and every morning we can either order say four fried eggs or limited to two only... anyway food choices though limited but good enough. Free flow of coffee (from machine with different choices... espresso, americano, flat white, etc) and fruit were great as well. Toilets and bathrooms were shared... all clean and tidy. Location was great! Walking distance to SOHO and China Town. Very close to Regent's Park for morning runs.

It’s very good located! So value for money 10/10. The breakfast has a LOT of warm options, so hats off for the breakfast crew serving so many guests with such a variety of options. The room was comfortable with lots of places to storage things.

I was curious because it was my first time in facility with shared bathroom, but everything was ok, clean, quiet, maybe because it was out of season. I liked very much the location, the quarter and also very close to different tube lines. And e.g. Barbican in 20 minutes walking distance. The breakfast was very special and rich, prepared in multicultural style with very pleasant staff.
