As they say, "you get what you pay for". The property is very dated, the reception lady was very nice. As the property faces a main road it is very noisy all the time. The biggest issue i have was that i got biten extensively all over my feet and legs while sleeping....over a dozen bites. That is the reason for the poor rating.

Hôtel à fuir
Chambre au -1 comme si nous étions à la cave , pas de porte un rideau ! L'odeur insupportable odeur d'égout, chambre minuscule, draps du lit sales, bref je déconseille !

Fine hotel, great location
The reviews on google in particular made me pretty scared for my stay here but I found it fine. Everything is old, my room was tiny, most likely a converted bathroom or a study at best but it was what I was expecting based on the listing. I cant speak for all rooms but I found no evidence of bedbugs in room 2 and gathering from my contact with the hotel prior to my stay they have had pest control to remove them from the rooms. The location is really great, as a solo female traveller I never felt unsafe walking along nearby streets at night and its a small walk from multiple underground stations and the British Museum. You will not find luxury at this hotel but it’s not as if they are advertising it as so. I think some reviews are a bit exaggerated or the big problems raised in them (i.e bedbugs) have been rectified. Its a fine hotel for a couple of nights in a good location on a budget, I did enjoy my trip here.

It’s not often we do London so we wanted to do it on a budget. Whilst the hotel is a bit tired it was warm and comfortable. The staff were brilliant and it’s ideally placed to get into the West End on foot very easily. We were able to drop off our bags before check in as we had theatre tickets booked for afternoon performance. You get what you pay for. It was fine for one night. Great rates. Thanks for a good stay.

Disappointed stay
This is our second stay at The Garth and certainly not the best. We arrived at 1340 and were told in no uncertain terms check in is at 1400 come back then. Most places we stay if we are early would check if the room was ready and available. The room we had was down the stairs behind a curtain with a step which is difficult to see and I stumbled down it the first time. The bedroom must have once been the box room and it had been converted. Wallpapering was poor and the sink cracked and no plug. The bed was comfortable and we had a good night sleep. The radiator wasn’t working so an electrical heater was in the room with a trip hazard cable to an extension lead with everything plugged in - potential fire hazard. The shower/toilet was behind the curtain, the shower was hot with plentiful hot water. The room itself is showing signs of wear and needs a good over haul. Outside the shower/toilet there was a strong sewage smell which wasn’t there on check in. We were disappointed as our previous stay in July was much better
Bed with side lamp that couldn’t be plugged in as no socket
No plug and taps stiff to turn on and off

BED BUGS! My partner were here for one night and were covered in bed bugs by 6am in the morning, and left as soon as we could. There were big stains on the boxspring, the cupboard was borden, the shelf in the bathroom was also broken/slanted so items would just slide right off. You couldn't open the shower door whilst inside the bathroom (it would hit the toilet) so you could only enter the shower by having both the bathroom door and shower door opened. do not recommend

Overall was ok
A central London budget hotel, you get what you pay for, so not 3 or 4 star. No bed bugs as far as I'm aware and ok for a one night sleep over. Only grumble was a very weak shower Overall was ok.
