This is ok if you are not into space. My bathroom was too small. The door could not be left open and to close it, one has to step into the shower. It was odd. Otherwise, Ev thing was ok. May be the carpet is a bit old/dirty. And there is no lift to where my room was. But staff was super helpful and accommodating. I think I am just used to better accommodation. Oh and my towel had a hole in it!!

We enjoyed our four night stay at the Gainsborough. We stayed in a budget room down the stairs and it was very comfortable. Lovely large shower and decent sized bedroom. The area is lovely. A quick walk to the Natural history museum and plenty of restaurants to choose from. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved the Gainsborough Hotel! The staff was friendly and welcoming. The breakfast buffet was delicious. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect, just a short walk or underground ride from every where we wanted to visit. With the numerous restaurants, pubs, shops and museums close by the location could not be better!

Perfect for short trips or if you are in need of somewhere to crash at night. This is not a luxury experience, but it offers all the basic essentials, which is perfect for my work trip.

Really nice place to stay. Clean, updated, perfect location to see the sights. If I’m gonna be picky, the shower was too small. I’m an average sized person and I barely fit. However, you don’t visit London to shower!
