This property is in a great location. Russell Square subway is nearby and has the Piccadilly line which goes to airport. Most sites are not far. Lots of bus and subway routes to get a round.

Check in was smooth and staff very friendly. This hotel is actually 2 hotels with interlinking corridors. Trying to find your room is a nightmare as the numbering system is completely random it seems. Signage on the floors is poor too. There were staff around on my floor to guide you to correct room. May be that’s the same on other floors. Room was clean but compact as was the bathroom. There wasn’t a lot of space should you wish to work and no desk chair to use at the small portable table. Room was quite cold but there is a radiator although it wasn’t that great at putting out heat. Would I stay here again? For the price probably not but, as I said, it was pleasant enough.

Could be better
It's ok for one night but wouldn't stay longer. Very noisy as directly on the main road. Window was left open in the room so it was freezing. Took over 20 minutes wait to get checked in. The digital check in didn't work.

Everything was pretty good and we might stay here again in the future, but the only problem was the thin walls and doors, so every time someone talked in around our room we could hear it pretty loud

The only thing was the ill-fitting window which let in a draft and you could hear quite a bit of traffic noise. Sort that and you'll get 5 stars.

Very pleasantly surprised
Came down from Worcestershire to march to the Cenotaph. I expected chaos, but had none. I booked 2 rooms, one with wheelchair access and one normal. I had a lovely room for Remembrance weekend. Great attentive staff and a credit to the hotel.
