Staff had excellent customer service skills. I was able to check in before 2pm and beds were very comfortable. Room was super clean. The only downfall is the plumbing and bathroom. Bathtub very high- some people may have difficulty actually getting into it. The water backed up in the tub during my shower and there is literally no way to take a shower without flooding the bathroom. Toilet wouldn't even flush toilet paper....I did report this at the front desk and I believe they sent someone while I was out but there was no change.

Tavistock Hotel

The reason that I have marked down the hotel so much is that we were on Woburn Place (A4200) side of the hotel. There is no air conditioning so it was necessary to have the window open (the opening was restricted for safety reasons). We therefore did not have the best night's sleep because of the traffic noise and particularly the continual emergency service sirens. The hotel was clean but a little tired.

Good location, near to Euston station

Well located in London, less than a 10 minute walk from Euston station. Staff were nice and hotel room was clean. It was not a large room, but that is to be expected in London. Unfortunately, we were there during a heat wave (30-35 degrees Celsius) so it was very hot in the room as there was no air conditioning. There was a fan though which was helpful. I would stay here again.

City Sleeper section of Royal National hotel

We had booked at the Tavistock and 24 hours before travelling has been notified by email only that we had been moved to the City Sleeper. Room appeared to be smaller than what we had paid for, however, we were provided a complimentary breakfast for all members. Other than this hiccup the room was located in a quiet part of the hotel. Excellent service from all staff including the concierge, cleaners, breakfast staff. Room was always clean.

Overall the property was clean and bathroom recently updated. However, no Air conditioner on the premises. This was not stated in website description. Coming from the states, it is assumed hotels of this category would have A/C or at least mention they do not have any. Also our view was terrible. We faced the vents on the roof of the hotel dining area. We could smell the food being cooked, some not so pleasant. Convenient area, but might look for something else in the area next time.

We travelled down to London by train so the location, a short walk from Euston and Russel Sq tube station was ideal. The room was ok although the lack of air con and a fridge on one of the hottest weekends of the year wasn’t ideal. The bed was large, clean and comfy, the shower room adequate, recently refreshed and clean, the staff were attentive and friendly. Although we did find the the lighting to be a bit bright, even the bed lights were too fierce - a dimmer switch or bedside lamp would be useful. The hotel is served by a range of good restaurants and cafés on nearby Marchmont Street. We would not rule out using the Tavistock again …… but might check for heatwave’s first though.
