Hotellier and caterer on an industrial scale! Friendly and attentive staff at reception and at breakfast, experienced at dealing with large numbers of guests. Rooms have been upgraded since we last stayed here. Good value all round.

Another excellent stay... will be back!
Its clean. Its tidy. The beds are super comfy. Location is fab for transport options (straight to Horseguards, Buck House, West End and British Museum is literally on your doorstep. Staff were very efficient snd super friendly (Jannai you were LOVELY). Its not the best/ most classy place in London, but for a cheap place to lay your head after a busy day, its just what the doctor ordered! We've used this hotel before, and will use it again! HINT. 24hr Tesco Express is just opposite the underground station. Stock up for water, room snacks and even breakfast there. 3min walk!

Property is in a great location , just steps from the Russell Square tube station on the Picadilly line and bus stops. We found that very convenient for our excursions. There is no airconditioning and we happen to be there during 30 degree celcius weather. Fans are provided in each room. The area is noisy with the ambulance and firetruck almost constant day and night.. Property clean, staff very friendly and helpful, breakfast decent and you are seated by staff so don't have to go looking for a table. The London pub and Nonna Selena restaurant are excellent..
