The location was central. The man on the desk as we were leaving this morning was very helpful. We did not hear in advance about the subway strike. He helped us get a cab that got us to Heathrow on time.

I'll be back!

I like the area and it's easily accessible from the Piccadilly line which is important to me. It's also easy to get to from the Elizabeth line but coming in from Heathrow the fare on the Piccadilly line is less than half what you pay on the Elizabeth line! On this trip I had a pleasant pause at Russell Square Gardens on the way to my room from the train

Friendly efficient staff but this alter the fact that the hotel is in desperate need for a refurbishment. The room we had (room 18) had a double bed and a single, the bathroom was a prefabricated pod in the room to make it into an en-suite bedroom, unfortunately it had not been connected to the soil pipe correctly so had an open sewer smell constantly, there is a extractor fan in the pod which we had to leave on constantly to keep the smell from the bedroom. Management must have known of the problem as there was an air freshener in the pod to try and disguise the smell. Being an old property the floor boards had been lifted and replaced but were uneven loose and dangerous. There is a Tv in the room but the reception is terrible so the channels were pixelated or completely unwatchable. There is WiFi in the room but a very poor signal to the point of being unusable, I gave up on it and connected my iPad to my phone via hotspot.
