What guests think
LSE Rosebery Hall is simple student accommodation offering private dorm rooms, an excellent included breakfast, and strong value in a convenient Angel/Islington location, appealing to budget travelers who prioritize price, transport links, and safety over in-room amenities.
Rooms are basic and sometimes dated, with thin pillows or springy mattresses reported, little sound insulation, and no air conditioning, so summer heat and corridor or street noise can affect sleep. Cleanliness and shared-bathroom upkeep are generally acceptable but inconsistent across floors, while staff are widely described as friendly and helpful despite occasional check-in hiccups, strict 10:30 checkout, or isolated dining-hall rudeness. Expect a no-frills, central base that prioritizes value and convenience.

Great deal in London. Room designed for one twin bed and two made someone have to climb over the other bed to access sink and door. Bathrooms were clean. Kitchen was clean. Resident kitty cat was very sweet. Perfect for a solo traveler but we made it work!

Great place to stay during university holidays. Just realise that it is student accommodation and you get the idea. Breakfast is great. Assume some of the rooms have en suite, but most have shared toilet and shower rooms - split female and male, so you have a 50/50 chance of being on the right side, otherwise you have to go to the other side of the floor. Although showers don't have much room to get changed. Shared kitchen is well equipped (although no utensils) if you want to microwave a meal.

Hot breakfast is included. I was impressed by the huge selection of food to choose from. Room is very small for 2 adults. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Towels, shampoo, soap included. I would stay here again. The disadvantage is no air conditioning, just a fan. The room can get pretty warm.

Overall its a good budget option. The location is excellent and breakfast being included is a big bonus. Most of the staff are welcoming (especially the girls on reception). My main gripe is the constant slamming of doors, i was unlucky enough to get a room next to a main door and the constant slamming kept me awake most of the night. Also its extremely hot, no ac, not even a fan. You have to leave your window open which isnt secure.

For the price of this room, I wasn’t expecting much, however I was extremely impressed with both the cleanliness and the security of the halls as well as the space in the room! Bed was really comfortable, door is unlocked by a keycard so I felt very safe as a solo female.

The bathrooms were very dirty. They were not cleaned for the 4 nights that we were there as the same mess was present in the showers each day. The breakfast was very good, staff were helpful with recommendations, room was half the size of the same room I had last time I stayed there which I wasn’t able to see when booking. Overall 3/5. Good price for area.

I have stayed at LSE Rosebery Hall before. It's cheap for a single room (rather than hostel dorm). The room is basic. The showers are good (shared). The breakfast is excellent! Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms or kitchens need a drinking vessel of some kind. There were several vermin traps in the corridors and communal areas which was a bit off-putting. But I'd stay again. Area is excellent.

Bed bugs. Should be the only thing I need to say. Overall very disappointed because this was such a nice experience over all and then on the last day I woke up absolutely covered in bites. I’ve tried to get in contact with the hotel several times as well as Expedia trying to get in contact with them and was unsuccessful.

I booked this room because it was cheap, for London. The location is good, an easy walk from the train station and close to restaurants etc. But it's old, dated and pretty run down. It was not very clean and the shared shower was so dirty I couldn't even go in (smelled terrible, lots of mildew, piles of hair on the floor). And the water from the tap in the room wasn't even potable. The shared bathroom was so small you could barely turn around in it with a sink too small to even wash your hands. Definitely would NOT recommend staying here.

The rooms are basic, beds are not the most comfortable, but for the price in central London it’s amazing. The breakfast is top quality with so many options and all of the catering staff are lovely and helpful. You can easily walk into soho in 30 mins from here, or there’s a bus stop right outside. Nearest tube station is only 5 mins walk away.

Clean room but the bed made a lot of noises from the spring under the mattress, part of the frame. There's a wood board above the spring and it's dislocated so making the mattress tilted one side higher and also when I moved around on the mattress the spring made loud noise. There are 2 showers rooms, one without hot water, lucky the other has. Toilets are clean, breakfast is good plenty of choices. Coffee is nice. Location is very good. You can store luggages before or after check in. There's one woman who served the breakfast looks angry., others are helpful. Bus 38 from London Victoria just right outside the accommodation.

A really good budget option and the breakfast was surprisingly good (if not busy). Location was amazing. Only gripe was the doors are very loud when closing as such you can hear other doors all over the building slamming shut throughout the night which can make it difficult to sleep. Also room did get quite hot.

This was one of the lowest price places I found while searching. I read the reviews and thought I would give it a go. My room was a single bed with a desk, a closet and sink for washing. It was very clean. The room was provided with soap, shampoo and a nice towel. The shower/ toilets were directly across the hall from my room. There was no TV, no phone, no microwave or kettle. But I didn’t miss them at all. Being in central London made up for all of that. Having great WiFi helped a lot. The breakfast was incredible and very tasty. I would definitely stay again just to be in central London and save a few quid.

Rosebery Hall provides a great breakfast and can offer excellent value for money for a stay in central London. Rooms are quite basic, with no TV or coffee making facilities, and the shared kitchens don't always have mugs, glasses, etc. (and don't provide tea, coffee or milk). My bed felt like it was missing a few springs and there was only one, quite thin pillow, but I slept well enough. The shared shower/WC was a little odd, with the shower doors only going to shoulder height, and then a shower curtain on the inside of the door. You had to hang your clothing over the door (no pegs or dry place to put them inside), and any footwear outside in the communal area. I think my landing was single sex (men only) but there was nothing to stop anyone trying to use facilities on other floors. The Hall sits on frequent bus routes and has a TfL cycle hire station close by (Hardwick Street), but is a few minutes' walk from the nearest tube (Angel). There are plenty of pubs, cafes and convenience stores nearby.

As long as you remember you are in Student Accommodation you’ll be fine. Staff on reception were helpful. Room was clean, bed was a bit uncomfortable. Most rooms have shared facilities with bathrooms at the end of the hall. Again though, these were clean. Biggest moan would be the noise from the street that went on all night. Not much that the staff can do about that, bring earplugs. Perfectly fine for a short London stay on a budget.

Check out time is 10:30AM, and they started to drive me out my room at 10:35AM. I understand they need to clean the rooms, but couldn’t they start from other rooms? Is it really the case that they have to clean my room immediately after the check out time? I admit that I should have checked out before 10:30, but I was exhausted and sick, so I was hoping they could show a little bit of understanding. The cleaning staff were nice and friendly, but their manager was terrible—despite me still packing my luggage and the cleaning staff’s sympathy towards me and their unwillingness to enter my room, she forced her entire cleaning team into my room. I have never been treated like this anywhere before.

This is my second stay. Sadly, a lot of the guests this time seemed to have no respect for any other guests, especially, when coming and going late at night. I wouldn't stay again because of this. The staff, however, are amazing. They went above and beyond. The breakfast is good with something to suit everyone's taste. The location is fantastic. It's within walking distance to numerous attractions and right on the doorstep are some fab bars, restaurants and independent shops.

Staff were very nice and the place was clean, nice that breakfast was included. However did seem quite disorganized, people being given wrong room keys or keys to rooms that were already occupied, that kind of thing. When I asked to switch/upgrade rooms as mine was across from the bathroom which was extremely noisy, the staff said the only way I can change rooms is to cancel my booking through Expedia, lose the entire cost of the booking AND have to pay for the new room even though I'm just changing rooms. So that was pretty frustrating. Still would recommend as a good hostel alternative just don't expect too much help if any issues arise. And maybe if youre quite worried maybe don't leave valuables in your room in case someone else gets the key!

The accommodation as such was very good as was the location. Clean rooms and clean (shared) sanitary facilities. I stayed for 2 nights with my son. A different concept than a hotel, but more than enough to explore London easily by metro (Angel station) or bus 19 just outside the door.. and above all much cheaper. Too bad that one event made the general good evaluation melt away. During breakfast on 17.08.2024 at 08:25 a lady (African origin, about 35 years old, red/orange braids) was responsible for serving the hot meals. She was exceptionally rude and snapped at the guests. She actively searched for reasons to give admonitions, both to guests and her younger male colleague. When I went back for an extra hot dish (1st time), she suddenly started yelling to me. An incoherent story about how the dirty and empty plate had to be shown first (although I had cleared it in the place provided for that purpose). I was both offended and unpleasantly surprised. I didn't argue but left the breakfast immediately. I ended up eating in a restaurant. Too bad, because the breakfast was plentiful and looked tasty. Exceptionally unfortunate how one extremely unpleasant employee ruined an otherwise pleasant stay.
The accommodation as such was very good as was the location. Clean rooms and clean (shared) sanitary facilities. I stayed for 2 nights with my son.

Room was spacious and clean. Bathroom was almost always empty when I went to use it. Very good value for London! It is about a 15minute walk to the nearest underground station.

The rooms are basic, beds are not the most comfortable, but for the price in central London it’s amazing. The breakfast is top quality with so many options and all of the catering staff are lovely and helpful. You can easily walk into soho in 30 mins from here, or there’s a bus stop right outside. Nearest tube station is only 5 mins walk away.

Fab location. Walking distance to most things. 25 minutes to Oxford Street, 20 minutes to St Paul's. Exmouth Market which is just around the corner is a great place to go for food, drinks, shopping or just to chill. Rosebery Hall was much better than expected. It was clean. The beds were average but the staff were exceptional and the breakfast definitely on a par with some of the nicer hotels I've stayed in. I had a twin room with my own bathroom which consisted of a toilet, sink and shower. It's not the biggest shower in the world but it did the job. The only negative, apart from the bed was that the radiators were on despite it being a really warm sunny week in September. We turned them off and left the windows open all day (6th floor) so it was cooler when we got back to our room in the evenings. It was too hot otherwise.

I almost don’t want to write this, this is my fourth visit to LSE and it feels like one of the best kept secrets in London. Great value for a comfortable room and breakfast with handy extras like access to a kitchen and common room with free pool table, fusball and table tennis. It’s in a great location you can walk into Leicester Square, Covent Garden theatre land with ease if you don’t fancy the walk the 38 bus stops right outside and come every few minutes.

I have stayed at LSE Rosebery Hall before. It's cheap for a single room (rather than hostel dorm). The room is basic. The showers are good (shared). The breakfast is excellent! Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms or kitchens need a drinking vessel of some kind. There were several vermin traps in the corridors and communal areas which was a bit off-putting. But I'd stay again. Area is excellent.

Good value stay in university halls. The room I was allocated (room 451) was clean, with modern furniture, a sink and a window which opened. The mattress could do with replacing as I could feel the springs, the tap dripped, and there was some noise outside which I was worried might keep me awake, but I actually slept fine. It was useful to have access to a kitchen down the hall (microwave, kettle, fridge, toaster, hob) but there was no cutlery or crockery and just a couple of pans - not really a problem as I'd brought a few bits. Felt safe and secure, the shared toilets/showers were clean and worked well. Breakfast (included) was excellent with lots of choice of hot food including vegetarian and vegan options and good coffee. Work was being done to the shared garden so I could not use, but looked nice. Would be useful to have a sign in the lift saying which floor for breakfast and exit. Would stay again.

Excellent value accomodation with an excellent breakfast included - the vegan choices were brilliant. Scrambled tofu, vegan sausages, vegan porridge and the first time I’ve ever seen a coffee machine with oat milk in for flat whites cappuccino etc. the room (single shared bathroom) was modern was basic but has all that’s needed. Mini toiletries provided. Kitchen available for use. Only downside was my room (8th floor) was on road side and it was a noise road and the room and corridors were all really hot. So has to choose between comfortable temp or noise! Great location nearest tube is Angel which is a 10 min walk to the accomodation - walking distance to Islington lots of bars and restaurants. I would stay here again and ask for a quieter room. Garden area was nice.

Great for the price, basic rooms but have everything you need, showers good and had no problems getting into the toilet or shower when needed. Biggest surprise was the breakfast- a full compliment of cooked foods, cereals, toast, fruit, pastries, ham and cheese etc. This place is terrific value for money. Will definitely stay again.
