Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was so nice, except for the shower drain smelled and was constantly making noise! The hallways were noisy too even late into the evening.
Location was perfect for shopping and sightseeing with several tube stations within short walking distance. Area felt safe and convenient stores and restaurants nearby. Hotel was clean and well kept with spacious room and good facilities including very comfortable beds and bedding and smart tv. Room was serviced every day during our stay which was lovely.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Sadly, no air conditioning. I don’t blame the hotel - I booked it through Expedia
As others have said there is no A/C. So the room can get a bit hot. We stayed in May when the temperatures were pretty mild. There was a fan in the room which helped cool things down.
We had one other issue where the outlets in the room lost power at night but fortunately they were quick to fix it.
Other than that the room were clean and comfortable. The stay was comfortable and quiet.
If you are not staying in the summer months I would highly recommend.
Stayed here during our trip to london! We have tried many areas before and we loved this one. Very close to the British national museum! 15 minute walk to Piccadilly, Leicester Square, fabulous park nearby. Close access to russel square tube! 15 minute walk to King’s Cross. We were very impressed with location. Check in was quick and simple. Room was very clean. Had ironing board and iron, nice toiletries. No complimentary water though! Hairdryer was terrible so pack your own! Lots of options for breakfast. Food was really good. Staff exceptionally friendly. We drank in the pub “the London pub” directly across from the entrance and it was lovely. Would recommend.
