Lower Turks Head

The location suited me, close to the Piccadilly & Victoria train stations and where I was working. The room was mostly clean. The staff were friendly enough but a bit rushed even at 5.30pm as the pub was pretty full. It's probably a room that will suit people looking for somewhere cheap for two people to spend the night without fussing about the quality of the room too much.

The room had twin beds pushed together as a double bed but it wasn't quite big enough for that. Had to squeeze around the beds sideways to get to the window and wardrobe. The main wardrobe door doesn't open more than 6 inches because the bed is up against it, but the other door is much smaller & does open so you can fish your clothes out. The TV can't really be seen when you're lying in bed the right way round as it's on the same wall as the headboard. I couldn't get the TV remote to work with the TV. The window frame needs a good clean and the bathroom tiles need brushing with Domestos to get rid of a bit of mould. Asked a barmaid if there was an iron/ironing board and she said yes, she'd bring them to my room in 10 minutes. She didn't arrive in an hour so I went back to the pub downstairs and she'd gone home. New barmaid said they didn't have an iron/ironing board. It's a bit noisy being on a main road, so not the best room for light sleepers. The beds are pretty basic but passable.

Fantastic location, above an old fashioned pub full of character.

Booked 2 rooms. The single room was like a sweat box, no window, no aircon, a feeble fan which just blew the hit air around the room. Also TV didn’t work & cleanliness left a lot to be desired eg I could have written my name in the dust on the TV... Tea & coffee making facilities in each room, but no spoons...
