The first night i was there, there was a man knocking outside my door late at night at around 22.40pm. Me, being a small lady, staying alone, i was very scared. I called the concierge and waited a very long time before someone picked up . I told the concierge lady about that, no one came to the room to check and there was no follow up phone call. I felt this was very bad. The staff should have ensured i was safe. They should have sent someone to check and let me know if they had seen anyone. Very disappointed with the service.

It's a plush, luxurious, clean and comfortable hotel in the heart of London. We had a great stay. The staff were all courteous and helpful. We utilised the baggage store, bar area and room service.

I was not happy that no one informed me prior to my stay that the car park which was one of the specific reasons that I chose this hotel was now closed. Had I not emailed to ask what the procedure was for parking I would have arrived with no other option in place which would have inconvenienced the beginning of my trip and been very annoying. Customer service should inform clients if any changes to the hotel facilities in advance.

Quiet single room, bit hot to start with but was able to turn off the heating. Bed comfy. Liked the water dispenser in the lobby - much more eco friendly than individual water bottles in the bedroom. Breakfast very good -wish I had had more time to linger and enjoy!

Good location. Single rooms very small but do if you are only needing a bed. Lift to 7th floor was out which means a hike from 6th but decent stay

My review is that this hotel is a good value. There is nothing fancy with the rooms. The bathrooms are small and the room size was fine for 2 people who just slept and showered in the room. We liked the Russel Square location as it was close to the Tube(2 different lines). My other complaint is that in the rooms you can hear everything! So people talking in the hallway and any noise that they make so if you’re a light sleeper, you will hear everything.

We arrived much earlier than usual planned. Hours before check in time. After a short time in the lobby the staff were able to get these weary Americans into our room early.
