Close to two Metro stations which made getting around to the main sights so easy.
Quiet and comfortable room with all the necessary needs.
Clean and staff very friendly.
Clean room and lovely and friendly staff in all departments. Great breakfast and I also had a nice lunch there when I arrived. Check in at 2pm was good and check out at 11am , which is better then a lot of hotels I have stayed at.

Great location! Hotel is as expected for the price - we didn’t spend much time in the hotel itself but it’s perfect for transport and walking to so many key areas (Covent Garden, SoHo, the British museum, kings cross, etc)
everything - all the staff were friendly and efficient, I had lunch with you - wonderful salmon. Great room. I'll be back. Fantastic reception staff who looked after me. They clearly loved their jobs and were so helpful

Good room and facilities; well laid out and comfortable, not something that one always finds in London! Would be very happy to stay there again.
This is my 3rd time staying here. Amazing location, clean, staff are friendly.breakfast was included in my stay which was a nice surprise and it was quite lovely and made my stay extra pleasant.
Quiet with comfortable beds! Clean. Bathrooms aren’t made for large people but worked well for us smaller people. Great water pressure and always had hot water for a shower after a long day of exploring the city. Convenient to the tube!
I liked the location. It was close (a six minute walk) to Russell Square station on the Piccadilly Line, and less than a 30 minute walk to several theatres. The staff were very helpful and kind.
