Our one night stay was very comfortable. Hotel is in a nice neighborhood, the Russell Square underground station is a 2 minute walk away. The English breakfast was excellent, the only negative thing about the room was the bathroom faucets handle was binding and hard to use and needs replacing.

I could not totally enjoy my stay as my room was stuffy and warm. Airtight! Close! No window to open and I felt an extreme lack of AIR! Had to ask for a fan which did not help the situation! No exhaust fan in bathroom either. The room is airtight! Uncomfortable! Renovations going on! I must say the STAFF is excellent! Ida my favourite in breakfast area. Superb! Wonderful staff! All staff excellent!

Great location, but very unfortunate experience with facility. The tub didn't drain for two nights. After a long day out and about, it was not pleasant to have to have someone up to our room to unclog the drain quite noisily. On the third day, someone came by our room early to work on the drainage issue. After that, it drained very, very slowly. The next day, we were informed upon arrival that the hot water was out. Finally, it required a lot of upper arm strength to turn off the water--but we persevered because it was too much to call with another issue. I hope renovations fix these issues.

Not a good experience.

Had to move from our exec room on the first night due to water leak from room above. Moved into 2 std rooms on 5th floor. Had to again argue that 4 people booked meant 4 breakfasts. I'm not going to let my kids starve. Had this on both mornings. No notice about the building work so lifts out of order and dust everywhere. Staff were courteous on the main.
