After reading the negative reviews on here, I was a little wary about what I'd find at the Hallam. But, for the price and location I was willing to try it out. After my stay, I'm really not sure what all the belly-aching on here was about! For the price, the Hallam is excellent. The rooms are small, well-fitted out and clean. They are hotel rooms -- this is all I expect. Each room had a full bathroom (shower or tub), which is unheard of at this price in London. The breakfast was decent (the sausages could be upgraded, certainly), and the service friendly and fast. I am planning on staying at the Hallam again this coming October.

All i can say is,this is a horrible hotel that i've ever been in my entire life.I've been around the world but this was a nightmare. The minute we walk in the hotel we were hit by the smell of stale curry,its really horrible. The Manager as he call himself is very rude,i wondered were has he done his hotel management !!!Room are dirty,everything about that hotel is a disaster So i wouldnt advise anyone to go to this hotel at all.thers some better hotel that are small and you can feel welcome. We booked because of the location if we new it was going to turn out like this we would have even booked ther,one night for us was enoug

Great location - just round the corner from Oxford Street TOPSHOP Hotel completely awful. No hand basin in the bathroom. Awful and dated interior. Smell of curry all night. Room door practically hanging off. DO NOT HAVE THE COOKED BREAKFAST!! (ask for toast and egg, only thing edible) Ok for max 1 night stay - as the bathroom is too revolting to take a shower

Oh dear. I hadn’t stayed here in a while and was hoping it might have improved, but it hasn’t. Well, the room had a newish flat-screen TV, but that’s about it. The cheapest, most dated, worn-out furniture you’ve ever seen, paper-thin walls and – nice touch – curtains hanging off the rail. The only thing this place has going for it is location: if you’re going to be out all day and just want a place to sleep and nothing else, then fine. The fact that it’s ‘cheap’ at ?70 a night says more about the ridiculous price of accommodation in London than anything else. If it was any other city in the world it would be half that.

Like many other people experiences...when we got there we were told there was a problem with the room. We were then handed £10 and shipped off to a hotel near Russell Square. I think this hotel takes booking on the basis of location and then sends visitors to quieter Sister hotels.
