Great value stay!

Great room for the cost. We had to contact the hotel to ensure accessibility and were instantly retooled to the ground floor family room which had plenty of room and a big shower. The only downside and it wasn’t really, was the beautiful original sash windows that we could open, didn’t keep much noise out so the foxes woke us up at 2am!! Really not an issue!!

Great little hotel. Perfectly situated for my visit (came to see a show at the BBC). Check in was easy. The reception has someone there for some hours during the day but you’re given a door code for outside those hours. 5 mins walk from Russell Square tube station.

We had a very comfortable stay at this centrally located hotel, several minutes walk to the nearest Tube station. We arrived at 1:15pm and our room was ready. Having already checked in online, we just left our bags in the room and headed back out. Room was warm, comfortable and check out was as simple as leaving the room key in our room. Would recommend this property.

Rubish hotel

This hotel was absolutely awful. I would say its a 1 star hotel very disappointed will never stay here again. Would definitely not recommend to anyone. It was lije a hostel not a hotel. We booked a Double room. We got a quad room in the basement absolutely the worst hotel i have ever stayed in
