Ideally situated, with Russell Square minutes away

Great location, ideal for what we wanted. Parking a big expensive but hard to find anywhere so good with parking under the building. Beds were so comfortable, a real treat. Everything just worked for us and no worries about coming back late.

This hotel is comfortable, clean and reasonably priced. Ideally located 2 minute walk to the tube. Its a huge hotel room was nice, had a triple room. Only slight negative the beds were single beds, they looked like they were doubles in the photos so felt a little cheated. Didnt eat at the hotel so cannot comment on the food or drinks.
