Very effective staff at both the College and Hotel

I have recent knee injuries so the climb up to my original room at the 4th floor of the Hotel was a struggle. But the magnificent Hotel reservations team managed to get me a single room at the College with attached bath at very short notice, intelligently moving the younger and fitter student to the attic room I had at the Hotel. The Hotel reservations staff member was called Zahari. I promised to make a personal statement of gratitude to him for his exemplary service standards and initiative to solve the problem I had. I also want to thank the front desk personnel at the Hotel for their very sensitive and kind attention to me during my stay and helping me move over to the College. The staff at the College were equally courteous and understanding. For the location, price and convenience for someone on a work trip and not needing a TV or other luxuries, I would recommend the College for a great and comfortable work trip.

Awful Stay

If there’s only one review you read, make it this one. Our accommodation was awful. They stuck us in a basement 5 minutes from where we checked in. The room was old, musty, had obvious water damage, and pest control units in the bathroom. We had booked a private double suite, and it was disgusting. Do not book here.

quiet neighbourhood in a central location

The hotel is located in the centre of London, within short walking distance from Russell Square and Holborn Tube stations or Kings Cross/ St. Pancrass railway station. Despite this, the surrounding area is very quiet which is because it's just next to Mecklenburgh Square Garden. Check-in was easily done, the room was clean and equipped with everything needed for a short stay and everything worked well. I can recommend this accommodation.
