In all, the hotel was pretty good. It was very well located near train stations like the underground, Kings Cross station and St. Pancras. good food options in the hotel and in its surroundings as well. It would have been better if the rooms had air conditioning, which we really needed because it was warm, a mini fridge and a table to put out stuff on.

Rooms are not ventilated and also very noisy due to the traffic

It’s just a block away from Underground train which is very convenient.

I’m sure it’s a cultural thing, but the rooms were too warm with zero ventilation, no air conditioning and windows that barely opened. The tub was extremely high and slick. The handicapped features were placed in odd places inside the narrow tub. It was frightening to get out of the tub because it was so slick. They asked you to conserve on water, but though we used the hook on the door they took our towels everyday. The faucet in the sink sprayed all over the bathroom and the toilet flushed gallons of water. The housekeeping changed our bedding several times when it could have been reused. They didn’t provide wash cloths (flannels) so washing ones face was inconvenient, as was bathing. The people who work at the hotel were extremely cordial and went above and beyond to assure our comfort. Wency was extra helpful.

Too noisy at night due to some people in hotel. Good staff, clean room.

The only thing I did not like about this hotel are two things…. No fridge in room. Will only give you one “if” it’s for medical and no AC. you need to ask for a fan. We happened to be there in mid June and it was hot. Otherwise this is a really nice hotel.

Percy and his team worked diligently to resolve an issue with my reservation at checkin Breakfast buffet was ample but repetitive after a few days. The shower was great with excellent water pressure and heat.

The hotel is huge and it’s cheap and so everyone stays there. It was so loud and hot—could not sleep at all. How hard is it to buy fans?

Great location near Russell Square. Room was adequate for 3 people. Only concern is the bath tub which can be difficult to climb unto if u have any mobility issues and the shower head is not adjustable and is way above anyone’s head.

Very friendly staff

Nice location. A few minutes walk from British Museum. The Hop on hop off bus stops right outside the hotel. All staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. We had three twin beds and had enough room to maneuver around each other.

Nice location, near bus, tube, cafes, restaurants. In walking distance to many attractions. Reasonable price

That's fantastic to hear! Being just a block away from the Underground train station makes getting around the city much more convenient for you and easier to explore and navigate the area. I'm glad you found this aspect of your stay to be beneficial.

Regarding the fans, we do have fans available upon request, again.We have our front desk team available 24/7 and if you would have brought the issues mentioned to our attention we would do our best to rectify this for you. We are sorry you were not aware of it whilst in the house. Thank you. Kind regards, EditaAssistant Front Office Manager
