The hotel is conveniently located near Russell Square tube station and minutes away from Euston station. The rooms, while a bit dated with old furnishings, offer a cozy ambiance, a very comfortable double bed, and a delightful English breakfast. However, the service lacked friendliness and appeared indifferent at times. The location is incredibly convenient, within easy reach of various attractions and the nearby tube station. The dining experience provided a good selection, including options for dietary needs, with the opportunity to add a full English breakfast for an extra charge. Overall, a decent stay with a few areas for improvement.

The hotel is in a good location just round the corner from Russell Square underground station. The rooms are comfortable, but could use a little update in furnishing. The English breakfast is satisfying, and you get a nice view of the park. The service was a bit lacking in friendliness, with some encounters requiring calling over the security guard. The location is very convenient, just minutes away from Covent Garden and Piccadilly Circus. The dining offers options to upgrade for a full English breakfast for an extra charge and caters to diabetics with included coffee machine.

My stay at the hotel was decent overall. The rooms could use some updating as there was quite a bit of old furnishing, but the English breakfast was a nice touch, and the bed was very comfortable. The service wasn't the friendliest, and one staff member seemed to not enjoy her job. Despite this, amenities like dry cleaning, housekeeping, and shops were available, and I appreciated the welcome drink. The location was convenient, being close to the Russell Square tube station in the quiet Bloomsbury district. However, the dining experience was average with the option to upgrade for a full English breakfast at an extra cost. The hotel's facilities were satisfactory, offering basic services for a reasonable price.

The hotel is in a prime spot, just a stone's throw away from Russell Square tube station, making it super convenient to explore the city. The rooms, though a bit dated in decor, boasted a remarkably cozy bed and a delightful English breakfast. Despite the lukewarm service from one staff member, the security guard was quick to assist. The location near Russell Square underground station opens up endless possibilities to visit nearby attractions like Covent Garden and Piccadilly Circus. The dining experience, with the option to upgrade for a full English breakfast, was satisfactory with the added perk of a coffee machine in the room. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay with shops and commercial services within reach.

The hotel is wonderfully close to the Russell Square tube stop, just minutes away from Covent Garden and Piccadilly Circus. The rooms, while featuring a very comfortable bed and being kept very clean, could benefit from some updating as there is a fair amount of old furnishing. The service could use a friendlier touch, as one staff member didn't seem to enjoy her job, even calling over a security guard. The location, with its proximity to major tube stations, compensates for being outside the central town areas. The dining options offer a coffee machine and cater to diabetics, with the possibility to upgrade for a full English breakfast for an extra fee. Facilities are convenient but somewhat lacking. The hotel does offer a great value for money overall.
