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.

FUE UNA GRATA EXPERIENCIA. SUPER BIEN UBICADOS, CERCA A RUSSEL TRAIN STATION. NOS DIERON LA HABITACION 3 HLRAS ABTES DEL CHECK IN. LO UNICO MALO ES QUE COBRSN POR EL SERVICIO DE LIMPIEZA Y NO FUE ESPECIFICADO AL MOMENTO DEL CHECK IN

The hotel was what I expected. I booked it because we wanted to be close to the British museum and it was a decent price. It definitely needs a facelift and could use some updating. The staff were good enough to give me a room in what was deemed to be the “quiet” part of the hotel and the first night was quiet. However the second night, they hosted some kind of boxing match in the big room on the bottom floor. We watched dozens of young men in their boxing clothes head off into that room and then listened to the thumping bass music from their match until midnight. We were on the second floor. I can’t imagine what it was like on the first floor. So if you are wanting a quiet room, request your room in advance. Ask for the quiet side and then ask for the highest floor they can put you in. That’s my advice for you. That and have a noise maker app on your phone or some ear plugs.

Location was great. We ended up walking to most places like Soho and Covent Garden. But you still had the option of jumping on the Tube with several stations nearby. The hotel itself is very bare bones. No in room fridge, no ironing board, no luggage racks available in room. Tiny in room TV. Basically a room with beds and bathroom. Front desk had no sitting area. Staff was helpful and friendly. Overall good stay in London, clean and it was an affordable option for a no frills hotel.

Loved our stay at this hotel and would definitely stay here again! Breakfast was delicious - possibly the best English breakfast I’ve had at a hotel in a long time. Tasty sausages, thick bacon and scrambled egg that’s actually cooked and not runny! We arrived at the beginning of May during the ‘mini heatwave’ so the lack of air-con in the room was the only downfall for us :-)

The hotel is convenientally situated a couple of minutes walk from the tube. We got a triple (single beds) room which worked well. You could hear traffic at night but that's to be expected in central London. Breakfast was the usual buffet style, we had no trouble getting seated and the food was filling for a busy day ahead. The hotel has a luggage store for customers which was really useful if you arrive early or want to explore a bit more after checking out.

This hotel is huge! I had to queue at reception to check in for over 20 minutes. The staff were friendly and helpful, but very slow in checking people in. Trying to find your room in the vast array of corridors is quite difficult even if you do try to follow the signs. For the price charged, the room was basic. No air conditioning or fan. Basic tea and coffee sachets. And a view of hundreds of other hotel windows. Carpets in the corridors were ripped and frayed and the wallpaper peeling. It didn’t detract from my stay, but for the price I would have expected a lot better. Prices in the on-site shop were astronomical, but there is a 24 hour Tesco a few minutes walk away. Hotel was adequate for my needs as was out for most of the weekend and only used the hotel to sleep, but I wouldn’t consider staying hee again.
