February review

Beds too soft, didn’t sleep too well. Breakfast, bacon wasn’t great, eggs undercooked. Was directed to a table, reserved sign put on it, went to get breakfast, came back to find the staff had given the table to someone else! So had to find our own table, ended up sat at a dirty table. Very unorganised! Room was nice, good layout, good bathroom, good shower. Lobby was clean and easy to navigate, lifts temperamental…be prepared to wait…and wait. Staff friendly

My daughter and I stayed here for our four days in London. We had an afternoon tea, went to three separate theatre shows and saw all the sites. The hotel had incredibly easy access to all these things by walking or via metro. There was three metro stations within a short walking distance. The room was clean, spacious and quiet. We would recommend to stay here and hope to return if we are back in London!

Ideally situated, with Russell Square minutes away

Great location, ideal for what we wanted. Parking a big expensive but hard to find anywhere so good with parking under the building. Beds were so comfortable, a real treat. Everything just worked for us and no worries about coming back late.

I came from the USA to the UK and wanted a hotel ten minutes from the theatre district and this hotel popped up. The staff was knowledgeable ; helpful and the facilities were very clean. The restaurant owned by hotel was close & food was yummy. I will recommend this hotel. This hotel met all of my needs as a tourist.
