Ruskin Hotel - B&B  

Friendly staff. Free WiFi in lounge. Cleanliness. Location. Price (inc. ample English cooked breakfast).

Remember this hotel is *very* reasonably priced for London! Room is basic - clean and with kettle for hot drinks - but no TV, no Radio, ageing furniture, firm mattress and slim pillow will not suit all. Most rooms *not* en suite - just washbasin. Decor is best described as clean and tidy - but not the height of fashion! Montague Street is by central London standards quiet so I was able to sleep with (double glazed) window open.

The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean. I also like the location, it was beautiful.

No complaints.

I found the stay very comfortable and the staff were very friendly. It was very local for me to get to Great Ormond St Hospital and also the British Museum. The stay was very good value for money and i would come again with friends for a shopping or theatre trip..

I didn't like the fact that there wasn't a tv in the room....

Location, location, location -- very convenient to 3 tube stations and adjacent to a lovely private park. Very quiet, clean. Loved that we could open the large window.

the bed was not comfortable and it would have been nice to have face cloths and a bath/shower mat in our room.

Staff extremely helpful. Breakfast very good. Great location

Excellent value for money. I spent a week at the hotel as I was writing exams at the University of London then stayed the weekend to sight-see. It was minutes from the University which was ideal and quiet which made it conducive to studying. The room was basic but had the necessary amenities: desk, kettle, tea and coffee, hairdryer. My room had a lovely view of a garden which was also quite nice. Also a hot breakfast was provided in the morning and the staff were friendly.

This is not a complaint as much as an observation: the hotel is not new. Things are a little worn along the edges so if this is an issue for you try somewhere else. If you want a place that is convenient, safe and inexpensive, it is a good choice.

100 m from British museum/ Nice staff and breakfast

Good for that price. Staff was very friendly! Wi-Fi worked very good.

The location and full English breakfast are excellent. The rooms are functional and fine.

There are two toilets and one shower per floor. I never had to wait on either. But be prepared for a shower floor that is never dry by bringing a robe and flip flops.

I have stayed before and knew what to expect - a comfortable and clean hotel in a superb location. Ok so it needs updating, but you have free wifi in a comfortable lounge, a good, quick breakfast and you can open the window on to a lovely quiet street or private garden. If you want to pay a budget price you can't expect luxury!

Very good value in great location. Very basic but decent.

The reception at the hotel was very friendly! I got a room on the side of the courtyard park and it was quite cozy. The room was retro and basic but for a traveller who spends most of the time exploring the city it is perfect. The area around the hotel does not have a lot of traffic either so I got a good sleep every night. The breakfast was tasty but a bit too early in the morning for me. The location is very good, there is a very pleasant park and a underground station within a short walk.

The shared showers could really use a removable shower head. The house is old and the floor in my room was not level and the floors creak, I found this more charming than negative though. Breakfast could be served a bit longer, I was too tired some mornings to wake up to early to eat it.

Close to tub and the British Museum.

no TV at your room. A bit noisy: shower sound?.
