Very Good

The room was clean and beds made each day with towels if requested .Staff friendly and helpful .Ideal for underground, buses within walking distance of the British Museum
Comfortable beds and good bathroom facilities. We were impressed by the filtered water fountains to refill out bottles. Unfortunately it can get a little noisey at night,
Small rooms but very clean and comfortable. Staff are amazing. We found the triple room with three singles particularly convenient for three friends traveling together. Two great restaurants right across the driveway. Close to busses and transportation. Fabulous neighborhood.
We had a great stay in this hotel. Rooms were clean and there was everything there that we required. We didn't eat in the hotel so can't comment on that. Location was good, we got busses most places from bus stops outside the hotel in either way. I would stay here again as we had a pleasant stay.

The location was excellent and the breakfast was very good. We would stay here again.
Stayed at the Royal Hotel and really enjoyed it. The room was clean and comfortable, staff were friendly, and the location was spot on for getting around. Good value for money and we would happily stay again.
Everything was great, except the room was very warm. Need air conditioning! The staff very quickly sent up a fan upon our request which did help, but air conditioning would have been much better. Other than that, it was fantastic!
Good hotel in central London near multiple transit options, can definitely recommend for friend groups as there were rooms with 3-4 beds. It got loud at night next to a busy street and no AC was difficult in the summer weather, but I'd definitely stay here in the colder months. Check-in and out were a breeze. Convenience store right outside was also great for quick pickups in the mornings and evenings.
Handy location 10 min walk from Euston station and Russell tube station near by.
Plenty of restaurants and local shops close by.
Hotel room clean, comfy bed, only downside was the room was red hot over a scorching sunny weekend in london
Basic accommodations. The hotel does not have AC but they do not advertise they do so it was honest. Massive in scale around a 1,100 rooms if I recall correctly. Smaller rooms, parking and access was great and they had lots of staff to accommodate and assist. They really surpassed expectations there. Luggage accommodation precheck in. Just rooms outdated and no ability to get ice without the staff having to fill a plastic cup for you.
