Great little hotel. Perfectly situated for my visit (came to see a show at the BBC). Check in was easy. The reception has someone there for some hours during the day but you’re given a door code for outside those hours. 5 mins walk from Russell Square tube station.

We stayed in room G and arrived early to drop our bags off which was brilliant and they were put in our room. The room was a good size and clean, the double bed was a bit uncomfortable but the sofa bed was a lot better. It was a very warm room and was unable to find any way of turning the heating down, however, as it was late when we got back to the room we didn’t look too much in to it.

We had a very comfortable stay at this centrally located hotel, several minutes walk to the nearest Tube station. We arrived at 1:15pm and our room was ready. Having already checked in online, we just left our bags in the room and headed back out. Room was warm, comfortable and check out was as simple as leaving the room key in our room. Would recommend this property.

For the price it was excellent. Lovely Nespresso coffee machine and comfy bed. Perfect location. 8 mins walk from Euston and 2 min walk to tube. Safe area if travelling alone. It's not the Savoy but perfectly adequate for a short stay. Lovely bright room.

Good value Hotel.
Hotel was in a convenient location for our theatre trip which made life easy. The advance check in and accompanying instructions on gaining entry to the hotel outside of reception hours were very helpful, and once we'd manoeuvred around the enormous front door, all went well. The room was a good size with a good supply of tea and coffee, the only slight let down was one of the windows wouldn't close fully which meant the street noise was slightly invasive at times. Overall though it was a positive experience and i would stay there again with no hesitation.

The room was extremely basic, which is fine for me when I'm down in London for work. But it had a terrible smell of drains, which seemed to be coming from the shower. The shower itself was little more than a dribble of water. Not somewhere I'd stay again

Weekend stay for two
Good location. For london the room was a good size. On top floor which meant we could leave windows open as so hot. Place a little dated but clean. Nice to have fridge & tea marking facilities. Bed base ripped & in poor condition.

Close to an early morning cafe at a nearby tropical medicine school, close to two or three second hand bookstores, one gay bookstore, and a few blocks away was a massive well stocked new book store.
