We stayed at the Judd for 2 nights.
Pros: Location- short walk to Kings Cross, Euston and Russel Square tube stations
-satisfactory breakfast included
-the gentleman on evening and weekend duty was very friendly and helpful
Cons: -Most reviews describe the rooms as small, but that is an understatement! I have never seen a smaller hotel room. We had single beds and one was tight up against the “closet” and my wife repeatedly hit it during sleep.
-Noise! We were in a basement room, underneath the entry hall and reception area. We heard early morning checkouts as the wheels of luggage passed over our beds. Various mechanical noises off and on all night.
-we arrived early and left our luggage while we toured. Luggage was kept in unsecured cupboards in reception area. When we returned to retrieve luggage, we simply helped ourselves. No staff questions or assistance. We could have taken anything.
-Stairs to basement were narrow and dangerous while trying to manipulate luggage to our tiny room. No assistance was offered.
-light above sink in tinier bathroom did not work, making shaving challenging. Reported to reception but nothing changed.
-hair dryer did not work
-room had a safe, but its placement in the room necessitated reclining on the floor to be able to work the numbers…not great for seniors.
-Narrow hallways and staircases made passing with luggage impossible.
Prices were reasonable in the London market, but on my next visit, I will opt for more comfort.
