This was my second stay at Tavistock Hotel. Both times I stayed for about 7 nights. The double rooms are a good size, the bed is medium-firm and comfortable, and everything is very clean. The hotel is older and rooms can smell musty. But I was happy with my stay overall. Staff are very kind with early check-in. It's also convenient to stay in the area. If I am back in London again, I would easily choose Tavistock again! A comfortable mattress is not always a given with affordable London hotels!

Valgte Tavistock pga anbefaling fra en ven. Forstår også hvorfor : central placering - du kan gå til det meste. Hyggeligt hotel, venligt personale , god morgenmad , Men altså værelset på 7. Etage er meget varm og ingen Aircondition. Dog en fane der gjorde at man kunne holde det ud. Vil alligevel anbefale hotellet , men vælg værelser fra 4. Og ned !

Didn’t use many amenities and didn’t have breakfast, so can’t comment on them. My biggest disappointment was being given a room on 7 th floor RIGHT NEXT TO THE LIFTS!, As soon as she said 7th floor, I asked for a lower one, as I was with my 13 yr old granddaughter- I wanted to be able to use the stairs whenever possible. The receptionist (tho polite) smiled happily when she told me there were no other rooms available, and something about “ the time you’ve arrived”? I think it was about 3.30-3.45? And this was before I even got to the room and discovered it was directly next to the lifts - on entering/ leaving lifts, the room door was 3 steps away. Most people will be able to understand the continuous noise of the lifts going up & down all day & night? Mainly night time, cos obviously we were out during the day. Apart from lift noise, we could hear conversations etc. Again - late night/ early mornings, very noticeable. The room itself, very small (2x single beds), was really, really hot. Windows were open all night, found a fan in cupboard/wardrobe, had it on all night, both nights - still overpoweringly hot -and this was April, NOT even hot weather. Very cramped room, would definitely not stay here again. However, must say all and staff we then encountered around reception area were very polite, courteous, and nice😁

This is one of my favorite hotels and I plan to come back again. Great location and wonderful staff, I felt safe walking in the area, and public transportation was very convenient. I really appreciated that if I didn't want to go out to eat, I could go downstairs and have a delicious casual meal in the bar or a more formal one in the restaurant. Can't recommend it enough.

Upper floor garden view rooms are the best but other rooms work too! Excellent breakfast buffet, perfect location for accessing the West End Theatre, the British Museum, local buses to EVERYWHERE in London, etc. Reasonable, fair pricing. Nearby restaurants (Italian just across the street is low priced award-winning fare). Away from the crowds and noise but walkable to Leceister Square and Euston, with tubes and buses nearby for easy access! 5th time staying there, feels like a "home neighborhood" at this point.

This is where I always stay when visiting or working in London. Near Russell Square station, a few minutes walk from the British Museum. Also close to Euston and Kings Cross stations. You can walk to Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Oxford Street and the theatres in the west end. Bloomsbury is a quieter area, just out of the noise and crowds. Clean rooms and helpful staff. Great value. Their rooms have multiple pricing options and discounts for longer stays, so be sure to check those options out when you book a room.
