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.

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

Not staffed after 5pm but the key codes worked (dodgey key box code entry didn't work at first). The place was not very clean. I guess reasonable value for the area.
Kettle in the room was filthy, maybe the previous guest had boiled soup in it.

We stayed in room G and arrived early to drop our bags off which was brilliant and they were put in our room. The room was a good size and clean, the double bed was a bit uncomfortable but the sofa bed was a lot better. It was a very warm room and was unable to find any way of turning the heating down, however, as it was late when we got back to the room we didn’t look too much in to it.

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.

Hotel was in a convenient location for our theatre trip which made life easy. The advance check in and accompanying instructions on gaining entry to the hotel outside of reception hours were very helpful, and once we'd manoeuvred around the enormous front door, all went well. The room was a good size with a good supply of tea and coffee, the only slight let down was one of the windows wouldn't close fully which meant the street noise was slightly invasive at times. Overall though it was a positive experience and i would stay there again with no hesitation.

The room was extremely basic, which is fine for me when I'm down in London for work. But it had a terrible smell of drains, which seemed to be coming from the shower. The shower itself was little more than a dribble of water. Not somewhere I'd stay again

Great location and shower but thats it unfortunately. The room is dusty, floors sticky and bedding not clean. There sre stains on the pillows and we had a burnt duvet. There was no bedding provided for the sofa bed and their was hairs and dirt all over the sofa bed matress. Tea and coffee facilities were also poor, not refilled after the last stay. Window sills and curtains need a good steam clean. No staff available after 5pm although they were friendly at check in. Fortunately we were only staying for 1 night. Nothing like the photos online!
