LSE Carr-Saunders Hall

Well located. Clean rooms and shared space. Very good breakfast. Functional shared kitchen. Common laundry setting is available.

The accommodation is extremely good value for a private room in a very central London location. With breakfast included too that makes this well worth considering if you're visiting the West end on a budget. Although not en suite the bathroom facilities are nearby and clean. There is also a kitchen area available on each floor. The rooms are basic and comfortable enough.

Games in the common rooms. Nice breakfast. Very good for tours through London

Good kitchen facilities to heat up food or make a hot drink

The staff was great but rooms don't have air conditioning. The rooms are made to hold the heat in so staying here was unbearable to say the least. The hotel is close to a couple small restaurants and light shopping but not close to site seeing. The bed was lopsided and extremely worn out. Basicall, if you can afford to stay somewhere else, you should. Horrible stay.

You get what you pay for... Can't really complain for the price. Noise moved round the building - was on 5th floor so could hear them setting up and eating breakfast on the floor above, or people in the kitchen next door. Showers were ok, although most of the hooks are useless so have to pick your shower carefully if you don't want your (quite small) towel on the shower floor. Had a sink in the room which was good, although a shame it isn't drinking water from the tap. Breakfast buffet has a bit of everything and a real bonus that it was included. Can imagine the 8am start is a bit late for some business travellers, but was great for me.

i have stayed in 2 other LSE properties in the past - LSE bankside in 2017 and LSE Rosebery Hall in 2021. i think LSE Carr-Saunders is probably the worse mainly because there was a VERY LONG QUEUE at the restaurant. i waited in line for 30 minutes, the corridor was narrow, the line was moving slow, soo many people for food. Poor crowd control. you should learn from LSE Bankside. their dining hall is spacious and the lines move fast. only 2 lifts but one was not in service, so had to wait a very long time for the one and only lift which was always full at breakfast.

There is no AC & it's built for retaining heat, so we had to share a small fan in our 2 person bedroom (although idk how much worse it is in other places in London because AC is not common there). At least there was the fan. Free breakfast never had a long line & there were different options on different days which was nice. & the food was good. Worst part was the showers were always lukewarm or cold (although that helped in the summer because the room was so hot) & there was no soap in the dispenser in the shared bathroom, so I had to keep using the kitchen to wash my hands. There was a London Tube station & a 24 hr tesco close by, a 5 min walk, so that was helpful at night when we needed food or were getting home late from a show.

Good Hotel for Budget Trips. It is what it is a Student dorm. Rooms are small but you have everything you need. Huge positive thing are the table tennis and pool table in the common area.

Good property in great location Lack of A/C and/or quality opening window meant the room was stuffy as, and when you can’t drink the tap water from the sink it’s a hike to fill a bottle. Every room was boiling so I assume AC isn’t there in most areas

I was in room 1.01 for 1 night this week. Room was immaculately clean. It was as expected - a single bed in a basic room with plenty of power points, a sink, a wardrobe, a chair & desk area. The breakfast was excellent. It was just like a mound , and I didn't even have everything! The scrambled egg was a bit dry but it was still good. Area around felt very safe, even returning at 1am from Wembley. The water from the sink in the bedroom is not drinkable so you have to use a water fountain which is located either on the ground floor or top floor (although I never thought to use the kitchen - the instructions in-room just directed you to the water fountains). The location of the bathroom is not obvious on leaving the room and not well signposted at all. When you look down the corridors, just look for a doorway with a lip at the bottom, like a step. Bathrooms were clean but cramped and very hot and humid. The toilet stalls seemed very close together. I didn't use the shower but there seemed to be quite a few. Would I stay here again? YES. The negatives aren't even really negatives. Everything was very clean, I slept well, ate well, and I felt safe. For a single person, a private room with shared bathroom & breakfast around £50 is an absolute bargain. If you are travelling to Wembley Stadium, I got the Metropolitan line from Great Portland Street and came back on the nº 18 bus, getting off at the bus stop of the same name. A good stay, excellence price.

Good basic facilities. Very clean. Sadly, our room smelt musty but otherwise was comfortable. Shared toilets and showers were clean but a little walk away.

Clean room and shared shower / toilet. Convenient location. Excellent breakfast (English breakfast and continental).

Very friendly and helpfull staff! The room, the toilets and bathrooms were clean and fresh The place was located between two subway stations so it was easy to get there. The only minus, and thats a big one, was the mattress. It was horrible and thin. If it wasn't for the bad mattress, I would have given this place a top score

Standard dorm accommodations. Bathrooms and other shared spaces were clean. Breakfast is great, and the location is unbeatable. You could do much worse for the price!

It was well communicated, staff helpful , shared bathroom clean and acceptable. Bed sheets could be cleaner. Room ok. Wifi connection fantastic .

cleanliness, good breakfast and very central location.

The accommodation is basic but clean and quite spacious and even the shared bathrooms look to be maintained well. It felt overly warm in the evening though. Lastly the breakfast is only from 8-10 and it’s a pity it doesn’t start sooner as I had to leave before having it.

We liked the location and the room. The breakfast was amazing. The toilets were clean and easily accessible not far from the room. The showers needed a good clean and there was only 1 available with a door.

Great location. Well priced. Good breakfast. The only downside was the terrible mattress which was so uncomfortable I slept on the floor instead. It was undoubtedly the cheapest mattress they could possibly buy, and the springs were literally popping through the material cover.

For its location this place is great, easily walkable to lots of tourist places and easily connects to local and national trains. The downside is the noise and the “service” - the first night wasn’t too bad but the second night people were coming in past midnight and moving between rooms, banging doors which shook my room to the point that earplugs were useless. People in and out of kitchen/bathroom/rooms and my room was right opposite the lift too. Breakfast is nice to have included and pretty good though it won’t win any culinary awards. It’s a student canteen set up but good to be able to grab something. Overall good value but I will be bringing noise cancelling headphones instead of earplugs next time and asking for a room further away from the main thoroughfares.

It was very nice and cozy only super warm and no airconditioning

The staff were very friendly and helpful, but the bed was one of the worst I've experience in any paid accommodation.

Good for being close to saint pancreas if you have a train early next morning. Close to shops and subway. Easy to check in and out. If I'm to be fussy, the building itself is not of great build quality, as in the windows are not as soundproof as one would expect for double glazing as they do not seem to shut properly and the shower door is a bit worn, but I am used to high building standards and it is definitely good enough for a night and would stay again.

It was well communicated, staff helpful , shared bathroom clean and acceptable. Bed sheets could be cleaner. Room ok. Wifi connection fantastic .

Absolutely brilliant. Quiet, calm, cool on a hot day. Proper opening window! Desk and chair, coathooks, hangers - all i needed. I like the fact the toilet is *not* in the room - very conveniently located across corridor. Mattress a bit thin and hard is only complaint. Tea bags, milk would have been nice. There's a shared kitchen but i didn't want to take other people's stuff.

OK budget option, great location, with a good choice of breakfast options included. Room was small, and quite a bit of noise from the street coming through the windows. Would only book again if no other option within price range.

Well located Student Accommodation in Central London - rooms are basic with no kettle or TV and the sharing of toilet and shower facilities.

quick, efficient, friendly, chatty check in - efficient lift, sterile corridor, basic but surprisingly roomy room wit washbasin but no tv. a bit noisy around 11pm and again around 7.30 am but not unpleasant (doors banging shut etc) great breakfast in huge dining hall on top floor with no smoking outside area. recommended, with reservations as bathrooms & loos separate

Staff was lovely, property was very walkable to many big attractions.

Bear in mind the shared toilets are close together stalls with open tops - so you will be very close to whoever is next to you - male or female. Late at night, I had the pleasant experience of having to walk past in a stall with a man who failed to close the door. In the morning, be prepared to have to hold open the door for people walking out the shower in their towel across the corridor to their room. I understand why the facilities are mixed, it would just be nice if at least there were separate ladies loos so you could have a little more privacy. Luggage storage was closed, but was not forewarned and just told at checkout. Staff were otherwise lovely.

The two ladies on reception were very sweet and welcoming. The room was fine. I did take my own pillow which was a bonus. Unfortunately, the bathroom outside my set of rooms was out of order. The breakfast was amazing, and the lady dishing it up was amazing. I’ve booked stay again

Excellent service thank you

These LSE properties should be the first choice for solo travellers on a budget as their value is second to none. The breakfast is excellent, both in quantity and range of food offered. Locations are really good with central London only a short journey away. Staff are friendly and helpful at all times. By definition student accommodation is fairly basic so don't expect pampering or being waited on - the upside to this is don't expect pompous guests or dreadful parents with dreadful children either! .

The room was immaculate, the staff were attentive and friendly, the food was plentiful. So much better than my usual Premier Inn corporate hotel stays

Very convenient for the station. A welcome and tasty breakfast and very pleasant staff.

Location excellent. Breakfast lots of choice and good quality, just could do with a second coffee machine. Staff lovely. Basic accommodation but clean. Downside is not ensuite. Good value for money. We have stayed twice with child 10 and my retired parents.

A well-located and clean place to stay with good breakfast options. Only 10 mins from both Euston and Tottenham Court Road.

It is the location that makes this spot so special. It is just a short walk to the Westend where all musicals are located. Also busses and tube are just a short walk away. Breakfast is very good and a great start for the day.

Standard dorm accommodations. Bathrooms and other shared spaces were clean. Breakfast is great, and the location is unbeatable. You could do much worse for the price!

Well located no-frills place to stay. Student accommodation during term time so you can expect a small room but ideal for a non-fussy solo traveller. Shared toilet / shower facilities. Good WiFi. Reasonably quiet given you're in Central London but some noise in this type of accommodation should be expected. Great value for money Near to the West End, Regents Park & British Museum

Perfect location

great location , great breakfast and a great place to stay if on a budget

Location excellent. Breakfast lots of choice and good quality, just could do with a second coffee machine. Staff lovely. Basic accommodation but clean. Downside is not ensuite. Good value for money. We have stayed twice with child 10 and my retired parents.

Amazing value for money, its hard to be too critical on a place so well located that charges so little and includes breakfast! Staff are all great, location is an easy walk to soho, breakfast is travelodge style all you can eat. Cant fault it for the money.

Good accommodation but BrEAKFAsT starts at 8.00am OMG!

Excellent breakfast

All fine. Could do with thicker pillows and another coffee machine to speed breakfast! Bring a robe a flip flops for showers
