OYO Boston Court Hotel

THE GOOD
Probably the best double rooms you can get for £55 a night with private bathroom in central London.
Location is excellent, the bed is comfortable, staff friendly and price is excellent for what is offered.
We got the room in the top floor which was quiet at night and we had a good night sleep.
You have a kettle with tea in the room and a hair drier.
I will surely return but it would be nice if the negative sides of the coin are addressed.

THE BAD
· The room seems been refurbished or maintained by a bad DIY amateur. The bathroom floor is coming out. There are bits and pieces of the bath panel coming out. TV attached to the stand with cable ties, etc.
The universal remote control of the TV works only to switch it on so you are constraint to see only one channel at a certain volume.
Wifi signal was null or very poor in our room in the top floor. We managed to get some signal only by the door but basically we could not use it.
The liquid soap in the shower was diluted with water. I wonder how much a 0.5p "savings" can influence on having low rates.
As per other reviews we had also our little cockroach in the bathroom when we got there at the late nigh. We are not sure if the little visitor came from the window or behind the bath panels.
The towels smelled bad. It seems to me they have been stored with some humidity on it and they smelled accordingly.
The sheets were nice and clean but with old stains on them.

We had booked a place to stay on our way through london, through no fault of our own, our cruise was cancelled and this has made our whole holiday fall through. We asked the hotel to cancel our stay 2 months in advance and they basically said 'too bad so sad' you have to pay the full amount. When it came to the subject of changing the date they had even said they were super full and couldn't adjust our booking even if we wanted to! So let me get this right you are fully booked but won't consider cancelling a booking that you would probably fill again in no time; well ahead of the date?! Horrible customer service with no empathy! They can't even entertain the idea that this was through no fault of our own but refuse to seek a better solution

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!! Checked in late, was handed a key and waved to the basement down a darkened stairwell to find our room. Took awhile to find our room behind an unmarked door between storage rooms. Once we found the room, we discovered the hole drilled into the wall right through to the storage room next door, old mismatched, threadbare sheets and towels fit for rags. Comforters that hadn’t been washed in ages and flat pillows. The real fun was the shower in the corner of the carpeted room with a complete ecosystem of mildew and insects!
The shared bathroom had a toilet seat which was cracked in half, lack of hand towels, and a similar lush ecosystem in that shower as well. Bugs love this place!
We did not remove our shoes and could not get out of there quick enough!
We were not able to get a refund and are out the cost of a night but made it out itchy, but bug free!

Stayed for one night on a work trip. Had read other reviews mentioning a cockroach in the shower. I found the funny side when I discovered a little cockroach family. This family was quickly dispatched, and to be fair the room (10) was totally fine. Check in at 8pm was a little odd as the door was locked and the office shuttered. A very grumpy man eventually showed up and eventually gave me a key. Review would have been 5 stars as hotel was cleaning functional but wone up covered in bed bug bites.

Great location. The room was shabby and a bit dirty: sheets were stained and bathroom unclean. However we were somewhat satisfied because price was so cheap. If you want to save money and compromise on comfort - stay here.

Good location. That’s it. The rooms are dated and dirty. I stayed in room no 7. The beds are full of bedbugs. Not recommended at all. Big no no to this place. Find another place if visiting London.

we only stayed 1 out of 2 nights as we couldn’t bare it any longer. the sheets were clearly not cleaned as both beds were covered in both long and short hairs. there was a horrible smell throughout the hotel, the sealing looked like it was about to cave in, the room was filled with damp and stained walls, the shower curtain has brown/yellow stains all over it. we were afraid to sleep in the beds so slept on top of the covers and used our jackets as pillows, would never even consider staying here again.

DISGUSTING. The worst experience of a hotel I have ever experienced. as soon as I walked in the best was left in a mess and used dirty towels everywhere. The room smelt like BO and someone had just been in there. I tried to get a refund back but they stated in a email that the room had no complaints and was clean and tidy! I even took a video of it so I’m getting my refund. JOKE!
