Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Superb stay, hotel was clean and comfortable. Staff were all friendly and polite. Highlights included the guy who checked us in who was obviously doing his hardest to make us feel really welcome and looked after, breakfasts, plentiful and delicious, and the hotel bar, nice atmosphere day and night.
Room was small but super clean. Bathroom had a large walk in shower. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location great, within walking distance of British Museum, Wellcome Trust Galleries.
The room was very tidy, and on top of that, the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating.
Location-wise, it’s within walking distance of King’s Cross and Leicester Square.
I will definitely stay here again.

We were greeted at reception by Alexander who was so friendly, polite and helpful.Such a credit to the hotel .
The room and bathroom were very clean and the beds comfy.
The hotel is ideally placed for theatres and lots of places to eat.
The Italian cafe over the road in Russell square garden is wonderful.
This was my second visit to the hotel and I will definitely return.

Great stay location fab for the underground literally round the corner x
Clean rooms,comfortable beds,and excellent location make this hotel a great choice for Central London. Located in a quiet section of Bloomsbury but with many places to eat and the tube close by. Check out Solitude Bakehouse for some really good Almond Croissants.
I will definitely make this hotel my go to when I return to London.
I like this hotel, it’s 5 minutes away from Rusell Square station. It takes about an hour to get to the airport with no transfers. The rooms are comfortable the staff is friendly and have great breakfast. I highly recommended this place

Good stay, room smaller than usual but still good.
Beds were very comfy & the shower/bathroom excellent & modern. However the room had an underlying smell of body odour & the carpet looked old & didn’t match the modern feel of the rest of it
