exterior - entrance
The Garth Hotel is located in the center of London, surrounded by the delightful squares and leafy parks which typify Bloomsbury. This area was, and still is, home to London's intellectual classes, and this central Bloomsbury hotel is only a short stroll from London University's most prestigious institutions, such as the Warburg Institute, Senate House and Birbeck College, as well as the British Museum.
Like many of the academics which frequent this area of the city, this historical 18th-century Georgian town house has its own eccentric and original character. Guests on a weekend break or visiting the University will enjoy the numerous paintings, photographs and prints in the hotel, which create a unique atmosphere and give away the owner's previous job as a collector of antiques.
The reception is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. and there is abundant tourist information available in the lobby.

very small rooms and not very clean

The location is relly convenient regarding underground, St Pancras Int station and Oxfrod Street.

Hotel liegt in einer schönen, zentralen Gegend in London. U-Bahn ist in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Das englische Frühstück könnte besser sein (Bohnen aus der Dose), Speck und Eier scheinen kurz frittiert anstatt gebraten zu sein. Das Hotel hat eine familiäre und freundliche Atmosphäre. Das Personal sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war sehr klein und die Dusche und WC auf dem Gang. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist für London ok. und die Lage des Hotels einfach super. Den Straßenlärm hört man im Zimmer leider ziemlich laut.

Cheap and cheerful given the ridiculous price of accomodation in London. No toilet in the rooms just basin and shower so when it says shower only it means it! Noisy from main road at front of hotel but very friendly staff and clean rooms/facilities.

The manager and staff were very welcoming and competent. The full English breakfast was served to order and top quality. It was a little noisy being on a busy street in a highly populated area, but that fact also made it very convenient to the underground and shops. There was a Starbucks nearby, as well as a greengrocer for snacks. We were very satisfied.

Our room was so small and noisy that we checked out an hour after checking in. We would rather pay the first night as a penalty than stay there the four nights.

Possibly the seediest B&B I've ever stayed in. Lock on room door was temperamental, bed was uncomfy, it was noisy all night and I could hear every word (and the rest) that was said in the next room. Room was tiny and no tea/coffee making facilities as promised.

Good B&B, very welcoming person and friendly. Avoid basic rooms, avoid rooms on the street because the windows are old and you hear all noises of the street. Personnal is really welcoming.

És un lloc amb habitacions menudes però net i agradable per a passar uns dies. Està molt ben situat si vas en plan turístic. Aconsellem demanar l'habitació amb dutxa.

The main reason to quote a very low rate is the noise inside the room because of the street. The price may be considered high, since rooms of 3 or 4 stars hotels are available at the same price when reservation is performed sooner.

We were very happy with our stay at the garth Hotel and would happily recommend it to our friends. The location is excellent too.

in general a very nice place, although it was impossible to get our room less hot and the sound of the traffic was going on all night. next time I go for the room that has a door to the garden (why did nobody in the hotel tell us to go and sit there? it is great!).

Ambiance trés anglaise, petit déjeuner typique....mais chambre trés trés bruyante!! Dommage...

What counted for us was the central location of the hotel. For that we accepted the price (which might be not even high in comparison with other hotels in the same area) and the considerably small room with shower but without private toilet.

Our room was at the top, in the front, facing the street. It was extremely noisy. Otherwise, the Garth was a very good value.

A small but cozy room; nice hospitality; good breakfast. Our room faced a street that remained busy thoughout the night, so was quite noisy.

Breakfast could be better in quality of food

The room was severely cramped and it was demanded of me to pay cash upon entering the front door. I thought the place to be clean and comfortable otherwise.

Perhaps I am not used to London prices, but the Garth seemed a little bit like a high-priced boarding house. Some staff members seemed to have a kind of boarding house mentality, a little like they didn't want to be disturbed with requests from their guests.

A little hotel amongst quiet a few along the road. No indication what the difference was. Old style inside, rooms renovated but somehow 'mixed' together with stuff. Ensuite in a 3 bed-room too small to even dry yourself while having the door closed.
