Smart Russell Square  

Showers and barhrooms are clean and comfortable, the common room was cool and the breakfast was perfect. With toast milk butter and jam, coffe tea and you can repeat a lot of times

There were mice in the beedrooms , and we comunicate to the regent and they didnt anything

It is close from the underground. It is located at the next block from Russel Squre station.

It is NOT easy to find the hotel, because I can't find any guide, or index for the hotel when I am out from the underground. I didn't expect much honor at the information, but they are not polite enough. I found many guests, that seemed to make them tired. But they are not professional. It is just cheap youth hostel. Do not expect to much. If you want to save your money, it is OK. But if you travel as business, it is NOT recommandable.

This is a packed like sardines hostel just fyi.

If you got screwed and were a top bunk, the fluorescent lights would wake you up horribly when people would come in. And this is a packed like sardines hostel just fyi.

It was a nice little hostel in the centre of the city. Walking distance to everything. Better breakfast than I thought it would be. A lot of nice people you could talk to.

The receptionists couldn't really help you with anything. No locks for the lockers in the showers. Couldn't pay with card. Still bad breakfast...

The location is fantastic and the common area is great to sit in as you can get free wifi there.

The beds are far to small, especially for anybody over 6ft tall. The room got really hot, i can't imagine what it gets like in the summer. Also the wifi didn't always work.

Breakfast was good.

room got hot during the night

Location and the staff in the reception, they are all friendly.

Need flexible arrangement for ppl who booked several separated times but in continued days.

Good location

You get what you pay. Poor quality room, very dirty shower, cold staff, and extremely poor breakfast.

I enjoyed staying in Smart Russell Hostel, community was great.Toilets are always clean and plenty of paper tissue, soap and there is no lack of hot water. A part of lobby is calm and relaxing.

Breakfast could be better and plastic glasses and plates could be better :) Another part of the lobby or shared area is a little bit crowded and noisy..

The fact that the lounge becomes a social area in the evenings is great. Also that for this stay, my room was very close to the toilets. Previously it was quite a long walk. Russel Square is clean, cheap, secure and well located. This was my fourth stay and I hope there'll be many more.

The rooms are always too hot. The window offered no real relief. There was also a pigeon nesting outside our window so we had to listen to it from 5am every morning. Pigeons, heat and hangovers don't go well together.

The location is perfect to take subway at Russell Square station.

The staff there are not friendly, and too many facilities and service should be paid before used, such as locker and so called 'free key for shower'. Having waited for 3 hours, there is still no available key, dammit.

I had a very nice weekend, all the guests were just nice and polite in my room. The location is just perfect. I've enjoyed the mornings and evenings, I had always people to talk too.

Some facilities were missing, eg: no where to put the coats in the rooms, and some light would be nice at the beds.
