This hotel is very well situated with the Hop On/Big Bus having a stop right there, as well the amenities are fantastic. A very cute, clean and delish coffee and pizza restaurant with a nice outside patio as well as modern and comfortable inside seating right beside a wonderful Pub that also has indoor and outdoor seating. The food was very good at both places and it was so convenient to just get back to the hotel after a full and busy day sightseeing on the bus to have great choices right there. The staff were really great as well. Our room was also very clean and a very nice updated bathroom with a huge tub/shower unit. We would certainly stay here again.

Staff was immensely helpful in helping us organize taxi, underground to the airport. It turned 91 degrees in London and there’s no air conditioning in this hotel or many others. They brought us a fan to use. The staff was very helpful in any way we needed and other than the heat, we can’t complain.

Great location. The neighbourhood is fairly quiet and calm while being nearby attractions and transportation. The rooms were small but comfortable beds. There was no air conditioning which would have been fine but the heat couldn’t be turned off. The pipes that connected to the radiator were also very hot to the touch, which may be a concern for anyone sleeping in the bed closest to that wall. The bathroom was quite small but having a tub was convenient for laundry.

This hotel is very big and belongs to a chain of "Imperial" Hotels in London UK. It is in a great location with good access a short walk to Russell Square tube station. Lots of very good restaurants, and parks in the area. If arriving at St. Pancras station, it is quiet a long walk pulling wheeled bags, so would advise taking a Uber or transferring tubes to get to the Russell Square station. The staff were very friendly and helpful with questions and providing directions. It would be nice if it was quieter and the had quiet closing doors, they slam shut. With the hotel being so big, you hear a lot of door closing at all hours.

The room was clean and comfortable but small. I booked a room with 2 single beds by mistake. It's window faces the court yard where a pizza restaurant and an open air bar are located. A big crow on Saturday night so very noise until late evening close to midnight. No AC in room so I need to leave the window open. Avoid this room unless you want to join the party.

The room was clean and the bathroom is up dated. Typical room size with good sunlight. The room is for 2 person but has only one sitting chair. The shower has a glass panel but no door. Water often spill onto the floor. For sfety, guest must put a towel in front of the shower opening to avoid a wet tile floor.
