Decent enough but very noisy.
Decent but wouldn't recommend it you need to be up early the next day, very loud pub below the hotel which was full of rowdy people until about 1am.

Ideally situated, with Russell Square minutes away
Great location, ideal for what we wanted. Parking a big expensive but hard to find anywhere so good with parking under the building. Beds were so comfortable, a real treat. Everything just worked for us and no worries about coming back late.

mother daughter excursion
I came from the USA to the UK and wanted a hotel ten minutes from the theatre district and this hotel popped up. The staff was knowledgeable ; helpful and the facilities were very clean. The restaurant owned by hotel was close & food was yummy. I will recommend this hotel. This hotel met all of my needs as a tourist.

Good. Has a triple room which is what we wanted.
Allison, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok for a short stay
The staff were very friendly, and eager to assist. Once past the reception the hotel itself is very tired. Worn carpets, damaged doors, dated furnishings. The beds were very comfortable. We didn't bother with the shower, the head was very high up for us and not adjustable.
Natalie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, comfortable, ideal for a budget hotel stay. Room was quiet and of a good standard.
Kathryn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good hotel
Amazing location for the price of the hotel . Beds are very comfortable. Rooms are not massive but not to small. It’s very quiet considering the size of the hotel. My only negative would be the shower isn’t great but your able to run a bath fast. I would recommend this hotel and would happily stay again !
Lucy, 2-night trip

Affordable
Room was clean comfortable but small it did the job required and a bit warm overnight The beds were comfortable Bathroom facilities were great. Would stop there again.
Nigel John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love it. Perfect location hotel.
The bed is very comfortable. Is a highlight of the hotel. Also location wise is perfect for people travelling to the airport too. The only thing was the hot water either super hot or none. Is hard to adjust for the shower to a suitable temperature for a shower.

I will return
Second stay in this hotel and I will be back. Mainly because its clean, feels safe and a totally fantastic location. 5 mins walk from Russell Square Tube. Take ear plugs, its a City location! Had the breakfast this time and will select that on my next visit too. Must add all staff are super nice, helpful and friendly.

8/10 Very good

Lovely but take earplugs
Stayed 3 nights to sightse in the capital. Lovely friendly check although it was very busy at 2pm, nice clean 3 bed room, with kettle and tea/coffee, immaculate shower room nice fluffy towels. Room smelled amazing, lovely bubblegum/fruity smell. Nice comfy beds with thick mattress toppers and room was nice and warm . The down side: Room faced onto busy road, it was exceptionally loud on a night due to single glazed window, Almost unbearly loud for sleep, so take ear plugs.
