Location

Very basic hostel level but the location is excellent, literally two steps from Piccadilly line underground from Heathrow. Lots of restaurants close by and good 24hr Tesco opposite. Clean but old premises, comfortable beds. Family room in the basement is great for 4-5 people and has full kitchen (old style).

Not the best

This is not a hotel, it’s basically a room that was rented. There’s no service, no amenities, we took out our garbage after a few days. It’s hot and tiny for three people. It was a great location, and quiet. It’s cheaper than most “hotels” in London but there are reasons why it’s cheaper.

Read other reviews of bed bugs and dirt and was concerned - stayed on top floor: it was clean, no trace of pests. The bathroom was a retro 80s set up, nothing to fault. You pay for what you get: the Russell is basic but ideal for seeing London. Stayed in far more expensive places that have been far worse.

Pay less get less

The entire building is very tired, the carpets were threadbare, the floor boards creaked and the windows didn't shut properly. On the positive side, the wifi worked well and it was very convenient for restaurants and transport links.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Just above tube station, doesn't offer breakfast, laundryservice or others, but good food and stores are 1-3 minutes walk away and convenient selfservice laundrette 5 minutes walk from hotel. Hotel is in an old building and it shows, but if all you need is a tiny shower and place to lay your head while exploring the city, this is your place. Affordable, nothing fancy, but does it's trick. We had room number 12 in top floor (no elevator, narrow stairs). No bedbugs found.

Location excellent. Attractive area, lots of shops, cafes, restaurants. V central and tube station next door. Hotel rather run down and dated, although clean. Room small and basic but fine for me. Be aware that the en suite only has a sink and shower, no loo. I knew this before booking but had expected the toilet to be just down the corridor. It was TWO floors down from my room. Also, the window did little to block out the street noise.

Die Diskrepanz zwischen der Präsentation im Netz und der Realität ist eine Unverschämtheit. Wir haben das Zimmer nicht bezogen. Das wirft auch ein ganz schlechtes Licht auf Expedia.

Bedbugs everywhere (yes we have photos) - forced to leave early into multi-day stay. Staff non-existent. Management unresponsive to email, phone, and Expedia. Bedbugs so bad that it required visit to doctor, prescription steroids, destruction of some luggage, enormous cleaning expense. No refund.

Over promised but under delivered.

The room was much smaller than expected,3 people in it would have been impossible. There was nowhere to hang clothes. Very basic funishing and decorations. No one serviced the room in the 3 days, not even to empty waste bin.

The property was not what it appeared to be in photos, and there was a bad odor that was helped by opening the window and blowing the fan. Toilet seat was broken and the overhead light failed to illuminate at times.

Do Not stay here. For £280 I can’t swing a cat in the room. The bed and pillows are hard and only get one. The noise is horrendous in the hotel with people walking up and down the stairs most of the night. I really do No recommend this hotel my son was so upset to stay in this hotel because he didn’t also didn’t like it.

Basic but Comfortable

Ideal for a one- nighter, comfortable but basic. Let down by difficulty in communication! Their idea of 24 hour reception is going outside and ringing the doorbell to get attention! Their phone number on the website is invalid and they don't respond to messages via the website either so that was frustrating when I was trying to ensure that I could leave my bag prior to check-in

Got a bathroom not worth calling a bathroom

I rented a room with a bathroom. I got a room with a shower, no toilet was 2 flights down. Turns out the shower had no hot water either. Turning the hot water tap on for 10 mins, got the water to barely warmer than the cold tap after 2 minutes and that is where it stayed for the next 8 minutes.
