Basic hotel in a great location. We’ve got the triple single room for three people. Service was excellent as rooms and towels were changed every day upon request. Front desk was very accommodating. Would stay here again. Breakfast was a nice buffet with a generous selection of various items. Five minute or less walk from Russell Square station with direct access to the Piccadilly line from the airport.
Location is wonderful walking distance to Piccadilly Circus and into the theater district upgrading to the breakfast is worth it. The AC did not work very well and was quite noisy outside the hotel. A solid for for the price in the convenience of the location.
The hotel is very nice, smells good. The cleaning staff was very nice, on the other hand the staff around the check-in area were rude. We didn’t feel invited by them, as if they didn’t want us there. But on the overall it was good.
This hotel is a real mixed bag. It has a good location that is convenient to the tube (Russel Square/picadilly line) and busses and easily walkable to other sites. However, the windows are very poorly insulated and the street noise is incessant. Constant sirens and loud car/motorcycle exhaust all night long. The check in process was also poorly managed and took forever. If you are a light sleeper avoid this place.
Bed uncomfortable. Had to wait for a really long time to check in. There were staff available, but they seemed more interested in chatting to each other than actually processing paying customers. Did not offer breakfast or explain anything.

Clean. Excellent shower room. Good reception staff.
Bedroom a bit depressing-lighting bad. Very large hotel and difficult to navigate around. Massively busy, including at breakfast. Overall OK for one night, but not very relaxing.
The night staff have very poor manners. I had 5 security guys standing at the front gate as you enter the hotel. Each asking you various questions regarding who I am and if I am staying there. I understand security is needed but no need to have that much staff making you feel very unwelcome.
Rooms were decent for London, comfortable beds and surprisingly quiet given the size of the hotel.
Try not to check in at 14.00 as we waited half an hour to get to the desk! It seemed quiet at other times.
left luggage service was convenient and the staff were friendly and helpful. We only used the hotel to sleep and were otherwise out, so cantcomment on the other facilities. Location is great, next to Russell square.
