At breakfast, we were allocated a table and reserve put on it, we fetched teas/coffee and cutlery then went to get hot food. As we got back to ‘our’ table the full cups of tea/coffee and cutlery had been removed and someone else was about to be given the table! Very poor management and allocation of tables!

This is a huge hotel equipped to handle many large tour groups at the same. The room was adequate; small, but clean, with decent beds and an ensuite washroom. The pub and restaurants at street level were convenient, and the location was great. The major drawback was long delays at the elevators when the tour groups arrived.

Loved the location of this hotel. The room was basic but comfortable and whilst the staff were not overly friendly, they weren't rude either. I'll probably stay here again when I visit London next.

Great Location

We were happy with the location, right near transportation, Russel Square and Museums we wanted to visit, plus it was surrounded by lots on International restaurants in the neighborhoods close by. It offered very comfortable beds, a nice large modern, clean bathroom, enough room to store all our baggage and be able to walk in our rooms and it was very quiet. We used the safe, but felt the room was very secure.

Underwhelmed

Got off to.a bad start…..arriving 10pm to find out my reservation was double booked and having to wait at reception for over 30 minutes. Reception staff didn’t seem to know what to do and kept running off to the back office. The room was clean and comfortable however the outside noise from the courtyard seemed to go on all night, maybe new windows/glazing are required to mask the noise.

The room is basic, clean, but noisy, especially at night. We lived on the fifth floor but we could still hear all the cars and sirens at night. We can also hear the conversations from the neighboring rooms. There's no sound proof at all.

Nice hotel! Great area in Russell square. I wish they allowed the option for pre check in! They require passports for all guests from out of the country. The check in process would be easier if that information could have been done in an online pre-check in.
