Room was as expected, fairly small but not bad for London. Everything was clean, bathroom was adequate. The temperature in the whole hotel was a little too warm. Overall good for the money. I'd recommend it.

Easily the worst, run down dirty kip of a hotel I have ever stayed in. Breakfast was terrible, ate out both mornings instead. Room looks like something out of the horror movie Hostel. I would highly recommend nobody stays here: This was booked for me by work. The place hasn’t been done up in a long time, I’ve seen prisons with more charm. AVOID/AVOID/AVOID. If I could give it minus stars I would. Hotels.com should take it off their website.

Stayed in a superior twin room on the 5th floor, which was clean and comfortable, with a walk-in shower (important because I have mobility issues). It was on the small side but not cramped. The decor seemed to be fairly new and in good shape, of a dark gray neutral sort. Staff on check-in were friendly, quick and helpful. It's a massive hotel that takes huge tour groups, so there were several hordes clumped together in the lobby and in the street area outside; there is also no visible place to sit and relax in the lobby, which is designed to get a lot of people through check-in quickly. I was so glad to find there was express checkout! There are several restaurants in the hotel which I didn't try, and lots of restaurants in the immediate area. Very close to everything in Bloomsbury. There was street noise at night but nothing extreme.

The area around the hotel is great. Highly recommend the Russell Square area. The hotel is older though and our room was quite small, and without a refrigerator (which we should have checked beforehand). Our only big issue was the shower. Although there is a curtain, it is made of fabric rather than plastic, so water goes right through it. Even though we tried to shower with the shower head facing the wall, water always leaked all over the floor.
