Staff was helpful and prompt. The hotel was clean and closely situated for Underground, shopping, food, and the British Museum was just around the corner. I would stay here again.

Great in location

Quiet environment and great in location. Walkable to the centre of London. But the hotel facilities looks a bit old and the room Wi-fi is quite slow. Overall this is still a good place to stay for traveling.

Great find

Hotel was lovely. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Allowed us to leave luggage on arrival as room was not ready and also after we checked out. Bar closed very early which was disappointing. The beds were very comfortable and the room was spotless.

We had a comfortable stay. Nice to have a bath as well as shower. It was quiet at night and staff were friendly. There was a discrepancy between the offer of light snacks and possible meals on the key card and the reality.

Shabby but not chic

The hotel is quite run down and shabby The photos make it look far nicer than it is. Rooms are not well sound proofed. Good thing is the excellent location.

Very friendly welcoming staff. Old fashioned room, but quiet & comfortable. The room was rather warm, and the bath was difficult to climb into, to use the shower. Very good continental breakfast, and staff were happy keep our luggage after checkout, until we were ready to return home. The garden looks fantastic! Would love to return in warmer weather! Oh, and the wine list was rather limited!

Fair

The hotel is in a good location. Good lift. The beds are very hard and the floors are not even. The staff are friendly. The breakfast is fair. No cereal for gluten free and could not have the continental breakfast, do not cater for celiac. No air conditioning but could open windows but was hot.

room was cold

Like most central London hotels, the hotel was ok but a bit run down/in need of refurbishment. Stayed here in early Feb and there was hardly any heating on in the room. The blanket on the bed was very thin as well and more suitable for the summer. Had to sleep with my coat on.

Comfy stay!

My daughter and I stayed the night before an operation at Great Ormond st. It was well located for this within 10 minutes walk. We stayed in one of the less modern rooms but it was clean and the bed was comfortable and the room was well equipped. The shower was good with plenty of hot water. The only issue was intermittent Wi-fi and lack of sockets near the bed for charging. I'm sure a carefully placed extension lead could sort that.

Great location. Poor value for money. Fist offer of room was a pull down bed with uncomfortably thin mattress. Changed to a small double room, with a double bed, but a small double mattress. Carpet had several large stains. Room felt very tired and could do with an overhaul.

Paid for a superior room for 5 day business trip.Which initially I was given a room in the basement but as I was on my own there were external steps down to the basement which meant I could not open any windows as this was road side and didn’t feel safe.Offered an alternative room on 2nd floor.The room was smaller but hotter.Use of a fan in room as very hot weather.However the tv seemed to switch it self off intermittently.Asked for it to be looked at on 2nd day /3rd day which they did however same thing with the tv every evening.The shower was good.Disapointing Stay.Location is good though.

OK but dated

Nice size room. Many of the lights did not work - both bedside lights on one side and the main bedroom light could not be switched independently of the bathroom. All the furniture was old and broken - one drawer unable to stay shut. Lots of patches of wall left with filler. Generally unfinished appearance. Windows in need of repair. Fine for a single overnight stay.

Not worth the money.

Whilst the staff were pleasant and friendly, the hotel was very tired- shame as the building itself was obviously once quite lovely. We were out in a bedroom that obviously doubles up as some sort of meeting room. A superior double but we were effectively on a camp bed- one that pulls down off the wall. We had to ask for a duvet, no breakfast tea, very basic and worn. Security was awful- just a little bolt into the garden area. The air con unit was nicotine stained and noisy which meant we were very cold in the room. Not a comfortable room you’d want to spend any time in really.

Staff were lovely, holding our luggage on arrival until we were due for check-in some 1-2 hours after arrival. Room was service daily. Tea & coffee available which was a plus for us who drink it very regularly. No fridge which would have been helpful to store water for our outings by foot. Room was clean. There was only 1 downfall (quite literally) that was problematic for us. The room was approximately 15-30 degrees slanted / off balance so everything from the bed to the TV was on a slant. At night when we would wake & try to get up to use the bathroom as an example it was very hard to keep stable when your half asleep. We thought it might affect our sleep but it appeared not to, possibly because we were so tired from site seeing. None the less we had an enjoyable stay.

I liked this property for the location. For a 4 Star Hotel though it was pretty run down. No extra blankets in the room and it was cold even with the radiator. Asked for blankets and received them although whoever answered the phone at reception seemed surprised that I would want one. Felt a bit nervous my second night after the concierge knocked on the door to say a strange odour had been noticed in the building and they were checking the rooms. At first I didn't want to answer as I hadn't requested anything but finally when the situation was explained it was okay. The location is fabulous. Right beside The British Museum, super convenient to the Russell Square Tube station from where you can go anywhere including Heathrow. Also convenient to Kings Cross Station. Easy to walk to shops on Oxford Street and anywhere in that vicinity but it just didn't seem like a 4 star hotel. I didn't eat there so I can't comment on the food.

Good location, but poor service

We liked the location of the hotel, as we were able to walk to Covent Garden and other lively areas of London pretty easily. It was a good price as well. However, one aspect of our stay led to this poor review. A glass in the bathroom broke in my husband's hand, from only him catching it in the air as it fell. This cut his hand very badly. When we rushed downstairs, we asked the front desk employee where the nearest hospital was. Not only could she not tell us, but she did not even act with any sense of urgency or seem concerned. She answered a call while we were in urgent need of help. She finally called the emergency number, but was unable to communicate with them. I ended up having to talk to the dispatcher myself to find the necessary information to get my husband to the hospital. I couldn't believe the front desk employee didn't know where the nearest hospital was and we were just left to figure it out. This could have been avoided if the hotel stocked the restroom with higher quality glassware or plastic/paper cups. On a less serious note, another thing that bothered us during our stay was the window was loose and so would keep banging when the wind was blowing. It interrupted our sleep several times per night.
