It was a great stay, the staff - especially Alfredo - were very helpful. We had a fire alarm unfortunately on our last night, which was inconvenient, but the staff handled it efficiently and well.

The room is basic, clean, but noisy, especially at night. We lived on the fifth floor but we could still hear all the cars and sirens at night. We can also hear the conversations from the neighboring rooms. There's no sound proof at all.

Nice hotel! Great area in Russell square. I wish they allowed the option for pre check in! They require passports for all guests from out of the country. The check in process would be easier if that information could have been done in an online pre-check in.

Quiet but then not so quiet

The hotel was what I expected. I booked it because we wanted to be close to the British museum and it was a decent price. It definitely needs a facelift and could use some updating. The staff were good enough to give me a room in what was deemed to be the “quiet” part of the hotel and the first night was quiet. However the second night, they hosted some kind of boxing match in the big room on the bottom floor. We watched dozens of young men in their boxing clothes head off into that room and then listened to the thumping bass music from their match until midnight. We were on the second floor. I can’t imagine what it was like on the first floor. So if you are wanting a quiet room, request your room in advance. Ask for the quiet side and then ask for the highest floor they can put you in. That’s my advice for you. That and have a noise maker app on your phone or some ear plugs.

Good location, no frills hotel

Location was great. We ended up walking to most places like Soho and Covent Garden. But you still had the option of jumping on the Tube with several stations nearby. The hotel itself is very bare bones. No in room fridge, no ironing board, no luggage racks available in room. Tiny in room TV. Basically a room with beds and bathroom. Front desk had no sitting area. Staff was helpful and friendly. Overall good stay in London, clean and it was an affordable option for a no frills hotel.

This hotel was very clean and the rooms were spacious and very modern. The only thing stopping me from giving it 5 out of 5 is the rooms were very hot and there is no air conditioning. I can’t image how hot the room would have been in the summer.
