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.

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!!

No contact at all with another human while I was there! Entry instructions were clear, the entry and stairs would be tight for really large bags. The public areas seem run-down, but the room and bathroom were nicely done. My room was facing the street, and the noise might bother some people, tho it quieted down around midnight. The temp was fine and the window opened, but there’s no a/c so I expect it would be quite hot in the summer. Closest tube stop from Heathrow was the Piccadilly line to Russell Square;0 Euston is also pretty close.

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.

We had a very comfortable stay at this centrally located hotel, several minutes walk to the nearest Tube station. We arrived at 1:15pm and our room was ready. Having already checked in online, we just left our bags in the room and headed back out. Room was warm, comfortable and check out was as simple as leaving the room key in our room. Would recommend this property.
