Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The Tavistock provided us with a clean, comfortable room in a convenient part of the city. The staff was outstanding and does a great job. The only negative was that the hotel is located at a very busy intersection with a lot of road noise. Although the weather was good while we were in London we could not keep the window open at night due to the traffic noise.

Functional

Room was small but functional. The double bed was a small double but it was absolutely fine for one person and one night. The room is a little dated with a 80's style carpet in the room and the bathroom was compact but again, very fine for one night & one person. The staff were lovely and the location is perfect and the room even came with a fan for warm nights so its a solid 3.5/5 in my book.

In the heart of the Big Smoke

This location is wonderful between Tottenham Court Road, Euston, KingsX/St Pancras and the British Museum. Although a busy street during the day, super quiet at night, and my room overlooked the square. Modern updated bathrooms make up for the older building. Bed was comfy, and towels fluffy.
