4/10 Fair

The shower did not have enough water pressure to wash soap off or extend into the rest of the shower cubicle, the water could only dribble down. The towels were dirty/stained. If you don't cover the drains then the room stinks of sewage. The bed was comfortable at least.

10/10 Exceptional

Great little hotel. Perfectly situated for my visit (came to see a show at the BBC). Check in was easy. The reception has someone there for some hours during the day but you’re given a door code for outside those hours. 5 mins walk from Russell Square tube station.
Helen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value stay!

Great room for the cost. We had to contact the hotel to ensure accessibility and were instantly retooled to the ground floor family room which had plenty of room and a big shower. The only downside and it wasn’t really, was the beautiful original sash windows that we could open, didn’t keep much noise out so the foxes woke us up at 2am!! Really not an issue!!
Felicity, 1-night trip

While the property was conveniently placed, it was definitely not a 4 star hotel!

Wouldn't use again

Room was very small and smell emanated from the shower drain, which they had covered and asked for you to remove before showering. Bee aware there are no lifts and we were on 3rd floor with extremely narrow steps.
