Great find

Hotel was lovely. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Allowed us to leave luggage on arrival as room was not ready and also after we checked out. Bar closed very early which was disappointing. The beds were very comfortable and the room was spotless.

We had a comfortable stay. Nice to have a bath as well as shower. It was quiet at night and staff were friendly. There was a discrepancy between the offer of light snacks and possible meals on the key card and the reality.

The hotel was perfectly situated we could easily walk around. It was also easy to use the underground to go to Heathrow. The hotel was in need of refurnishing. The breakfast was good. I would not say this is a 4-star hotel.

Fair

The hotel is in a good location. Good lift. The beds are very hard and the floors are not even. The staff are friendly. The breakfast is fair. No cereal for gluten free and could not have the continental breakfast, do not cater for celiac. No air conditioning but could open windows but was hot.

room was cold

Like most central London hotels, the hotel was ok but a bit run down/in need of refurbishment. Stayed here in early Feb and there was hardly any heating on in the room. The blanket on the bed was very thin as well and more suitable for the summer. Had to sleep with my coat on.

Disappointing and expensive. The room was on lower ground floor with a horrid basement outlook from the window. The furniture was heavily scratched. A heater was provided as the central heating didn't work. All the decorative bed coverings and pillows had been removed. It reminded me of servants quarters in the basement.

I liked this property for the location. For a 4 Star Hotel though it was pretty run down. No extra blankets in the room and it was cold even with the radiator. Asked for blankets and received them although whoever answered the phone at reception seemed surprised that I would want one. Felt a bit nervous my second night after the concierge knocked on the door to say a strange odour had been noticed in the building and they were checking the rooms. At first I didn't want to answer as I hadn't requested anything but finally when the situation was explained it was okay. The location is fabulous. Right beside The British Museum, super convenient to the Russell Square Tube station from where you can go anywhere including Heathrow. Also convenient to Kings Cross Station. Easy to walk to shops on Oxford Street and anywhere in that vicinity but it just didn't seem like a 4 star hotel. I didn't eat there so I can't comment on the food.

Great location. Poor value for money. Fist offer of room was a pull down bed with uncomfortably thin mattress. Changed to a small double room, with a double bed, but a small double mattress. Carpet had several large stains. Room felt very tired and could do with an overhaul.

Bra läge men väldigt slitet

Hotellet är väldigt slitet; nedsuttna möbler, en soffa på rummet som höll på att falla ihop, halvtrasiga möbler och en jättegammal heltäckningsmatta. Städningen var säkert ok, men pga att det var så slitet så kändes det ofräscht. Läget var dock bra, innergården fin och frukosten helt ok. Servicen var också bra.

Middelhotel, ikke 4 stjerner

God beliggenhed. Pænt og rent, men temmelig nedslidt hotel. Meget lille værelse. Ingen knager til jakker. Ingen steder at hænge håndklæder på det mikroskopiske badeværelse. Derfor blev håndklæder skiftet unødvendigt tit. Ofte kun lunkent og ikke koldt vand i vandhanen. Hårtørreren var skruet fast i en skrivebordsskuffe (!) Behagelig seng. Personalet var ikke overstrømmende venligt og hilste ikke, når man gik forbi.

OK but dated

Nice size room. Many of the lights did not work - both bedside lights on one side and the main bedroom light could not be switched independently of the bathroom. All the furniture was old and broken - one drawer unable to stay shut. Lots of patches of wall left with filler. Generally unfinished appearance. Windows in need of repair. Fine for a single overnight stay.

Good location, but poor service

We liked the location of the hotel, as we were able to walk to Covent Garden and other lively areas of London pretty easily. It was a good price as well. However, one aspect of our stay led to this poor review. A glass in the bathroom broke in my husband's hand, from only him catching it in the air as it fell. This cut his hand very badly. When we rushed downstairs, we asked the front desk employee where the nearest hospital was. Not only could she not tell us, but she did not even act with any sense of urgency or seem concerned. She answered a call while we were in urgent need of help. She finally called the emergency number, but was unable to communicate with them. I ended up having to talk to the dispatcher myself to find the necessary information to get my husband to the hospital. I couldn't believe the front desk employee didn't know where the nearest hospital was and we were just left to figure it out. This could have been avoided if the hotel stocked the restroom with higher quality glassware or plastic/paper cups. On a less serious note, another thing that bothered us during our stay was the window was loose and so would keep banging when the wind was blowing. It interrupted our sleep several times per night.

Shabby but not chic

The hotel is quite run down and shabby The photos make it look far nicer than it is. Rooms are not well sound proofed. Good thing is the excellent location.

Mooi hotel ook aan de binenkant. Prima locatie met British Museum om de hoek. Enige minpunt was dat ik een kamer naast de lift had en dat maakte het nodige geluid.

Kommer der ikke igen..

Servicen var god, vi fik værelset da vi ankom kl. 10. det var dejligt. MEN.... sengen var elendig, og vi kunne kun lige være i sengen. værelserne er meget små, og havde man to kufferter med, så kunne man ikke være der. gulvet var ekstrem skævt og man væltede nærmest ud på toilettet. Vinduet kunne ikke lukkes ned, så vi måtte sætte et håndklæde i klemme så det ikke trak ind med kold luft (det hjalp meget lidt) Morgenmaden var okay, men man skulle betale 5 pund pr person pr dag ekstra, til trods for man havde betalt for morgenmad, hvis man ville have varm mad (pølser, hashbrowns, æg osv) Vi fik 3 store håndklæder og et lille, selvom vi bad om 2 små og to store.

Staff were lovely, holding our luggage on arrival until we were due for check-in some 1-2 hours after arrival. Room was service daily. Tea & coffee available which was a plus for us who drink it very regularly. No fridge which would have been helpful to store water for our outings by foot. Room was clean. There was only 1 downfall (quite literally) that was problematic for us. The room was approximately 15-30 degrees slanted / off balance so everything from the bed to the TV was on a slant. At night when we would wake & try to get up to use the bathroom as an example it was very hard to keep stable when your half asleep. We thought it might affect our sleep but it appeared not to, possibly because we were so tired from site seeing. None the less we had an enjoyable stay.
