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

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.

Upon arrival we were directed to a room in the basement, which you had to pass through an office to reach. The ‘ensuite’ we had was outside of the room and while we were the only ones who were apparently going to use it, the bathroom/bedroom doors were only separated from the office by a small curtain. Upon request we were given a new room with a true ensuite, but it felt weird that the basement room was even an option. The new room was okay. The bathroom facilities felt clean (through the dirty extractor fan has led to ceiling mould issues), and the bed frame and mattress looked fairly new. The location was great for the museum and several tube lines. Wouldn’t spend more than one night here, but the staff were friendly and it was an okay place to rest our heads for one night.

BED BUGS! DON’T STAY HERE!
My three friends and I only stayed at the Garth Hotel for a few hours. As we were going to bed on the first night, bed bugs started crawling all over us and our beds. The hotel offered us another room for ONE night for only TWO of us! They couldn’t help us find another hotel even though it was almost midnight and they wouldn’t give us a refund even though the room was uninhabitable. Need I say more???!

It’s a great big house with rooms that are rented out, water damage very visible everywhere! And I’m not sure how safe the plugs and extension was right by the head of the bed where you’d normally leave a bottle of water! There is no lift, I was top floor not ideal with a suitcase and no one to help take it up! The receptionist was lovely on check in! Location can’t fault that! I’ve stayed in better kept hostels for cheaper

We had a room Vernon Dudley would have been proud of. It was a cupboard. The double bed was up against a wall and the pillows kept falling off the bed all night. It done it's job and the staff were friendly but I might try somewhere else next time I'm in London, or ask for a different room that isn't just a long closet.

I liked the location. However, there was no heat in the room. There was no hair dryer. We only got one bath towel replaced for two of us. The floors were uneven making falls possible. The bathroom had no towel bars. It really was sub par.

Bed bugs
The hotel has a bed bug infestation. I made two bookings for two consecutive weeks, but after I stayed and got completely covered in bug bites, I asked for a refund for the second booking which was yet to start in a week's time. The reply was that bed bugs are a London problem and that they won't refund it. They don't even want to refund me for the future stay although they admitted they have bed bugs. I am now out of pocket now as I have to pay again for another hotel next week. I should have read the reviews warning about bed bugs but didn't. I hope this review saves the skin and homes of other potential guests who are reading it.
