Nice location, nice hotel

Great location. Hotel and staff are very nice. Room is quite warm, had to keep the floor fan provided on almost entire stay. Everything else was wonderful.

Comfortable beds and bedding. Bathroom was clean. Staff was friendly and efficient. We were allowed to store our luggage both before and after our stay for free of charge. Might be an America. thing but I missed air conditioning, ice and wash cloths. I did appreciate the large fan. It helped with air circulation.

A winner!!

For a large, busy hotel, the Royal National is always exceptionally well organised and staff go out of their way to provide great service. The City Sleeper at the Royal National provides nicer, upgraded rooms in a quieter wing of the hotel. It comes with its own reception desk and separate breakfast room. Brilliant location only 15 minutes walk from Kings Cross station and then 20 minutes onwards to Covent Garden. Nearest tube stop and also the British Museum are 5 minutes away. With London hotels costing a fortune, especially at the weekend, this is our ‘go to’ hotel when visiting the capital; providing a good balance of cost, location and quality.

Really can’t fault this hotel. It’s in an excellent location within walking distance to the west end etc plus 2 tube stations less than 10 mins walk away. The staff (Wasim in particular) were so friendly and helpful and hotel was spotless. Only minor niggle was that our room was a bit noisy in the evening which I only noticed as I was with my 8 year old daughter so going to bed a bit earlier than usual. If you’re worried about noise maybe ask for a higher floor / room facing away from the courtyard. We’ll definitely be coming back to this hotel.
