Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We love staying at the City Sleeper Hotel because the staff are helpful, knowledgeable and courtesy. The location near the Russell Square Underground Station and buses are ideal. Wency was courteous and quick when I requested a shower cap and he was careful when handling our luggage. This is our second stay in 10 days in between our business trip. Highly recommend this hotel.

Room spacious, clean and comfortable. Nice mattress, bed linens & pillows. Bathroom clean and nice. I did not eat breakfast at the hotel because there is a Pret a Manger just down the street where I could get breakfast at a much better price. Location right by British Museum and underground, in a pleasant neighborhood. Lots of local restaurants where I had good, reasonably priced dinners.
