Great Location

We were happy with the location, right near transportation, Russel Square and Museums we wanted to visit, plus it was surrounded by lots on International restaurants in the neighborhoods close by. It offered very comfortable beds, a nice large modern, clean bathroom, enough room to store all our baggage and be able to walk in our rooms and it was very quiet. We used the safe, but felt the room was very secure.

Underwhelmed

Got off to.a bad start…..arriving 10pm to find out my reservation was double booked and having to wait at reception for over 30 minutes. Reception staff didn’t seem to know what to do and kept running off to the back office. The room was clean and comfortable however the outside noise from the courtyard seemed to go on all night, maybe new windows/glazing are required to mask the noise.

The room is basic, clean, but noisy, especially at night. We lived on the fifth floor but we could still hear all the cars and sirens at night. We can also hear the conversations from the neighboring rooms. There's no sound proof at all.

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.

Quiet but then not so quiet

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.
