LSE Carr-Saunders Hall

😊 nice place, clean and comfy

I’ve stayed at the LSE dozens of times, mainly Passfield Hall, occasionally Roseberry Hall but this is the first time I’ve stayed at Carr Saunders Hall. It’s satisfactory and cheap (£42 with breakfast) but it’s definitely the worst out of the three. Apart from its price, the location is its other asset - located between Goodge Street (6 minute walk) and Warren Street (5 minutes) tubes. It’s in a quiet area but it’s a little tired and dated. I was a little concerned with the negative reviews (dirty/lack of toilets and noisy corridors) but there wasn’t a problem here. There were a few negative points: no hangers in the room, water pressure extremely poor, a pillow as flat as a naan bread and only one working lift. Breakfast was very disorganised. There was only one juice and coffee station as well as just a solitary toaster! The cold selection was satisfactory but the cooked breakfast was cold and tasteless. They could learn a little by visiting Roseberry Hall where the food was better and the organisation far superior. The hall lacks a nice garden area like Passfield’s and it’s rather soulless. I also needed to change a night due to flight amendments but they were unhelpful even though they often sell out months in advance. A good price but I’ll stick with Passfield or Roseberry in future!
