Awful Stay

If there’s only one review you read, make it this one. Our accommodation was awful. They stuck us in a basement 5 minutes from where we checked in. The room was old, musty, had obvious water damage, and pest control units in the bathroom. We had booked a private double suite, and it was disgusting. Do not book here.

quiet neighbourhood in a central location

The hotel is located in the centre of London, within short walking distance from Russell Square and Holborn Tube stations or Kings Cross/ St. Pancrass railway station. Despite this, the surrounding area is very quiet which is because it's just next to Mecklenburgh Square Garden. Check-in was easily done, the room was clean and equipped with everything needed for a short stay and everything worked well. I can recommend this accommodation.

University accommodation at hotel standards but at university prices. Lovely grounds in a vibrant area and close to tube / bus routes. My new go-to place for London vacations.

I love the quiet area and view of the park and autumn leaves opposite. There is nothing to dislike, such a peaceful place for central London! So nice not to hear traffic noise all night!

This is a college and the room is a dorm room. Dont expect anything else. It was simple and clean. However, finding the correct place to check in was difficult. I had to walk around the building looking for an open door. There needs to be better signage and/or directions on the listing.

Superb value for money, great sized rooms (even had fridges), lovely staff. My only crticism was my room was over the main entrances so quite loud at night as the window wouldnt shut. I imagine there are many quieter rooms. Will 100% stay here again.
