Good location as it was close to Queens square Hospital with surrounding restaurants and shops. Very practical for the reason I was in London and the discount price was appealing . Very chilly and noisy at night. £10 per person for breakfast was too expensive - we ate elsewhere which was inconvenient as we couldn't justify the price for what was on offer.

- Great service. I didn't feel like my crutch was a problem during my stay. - The nearby area. - The view from the windows. - The lack of sound-proff walls (sometimes there were barricaded doors). I heard someone's alarm bell for hours one day.

General hotel cleanness is good and the bar and restaurant are all very close to the main entrance (although the bar didn't stock Bacadi !!) Ideally located between underground stations of Russell Square and Holburn - it is a 10 min walk to the Palace Theatre Room was fairly clean but the old sash windows needed serious cleaning / attention Lift is still not working - as reported in a review about 6 months ago! Walls in the rooms were very thin so were noisy at night

The entire stay was a disappointment. The rating and description on booking.com is both inaccurate and misleading. Our room was not air conditioned as stated and the hotel is certainly not "elegant". The lift was not working which was not disclosed until after we checked in. The room was so small the door hits a bed before fully open. The only venilation was a window that can be opened only a few inches. Although the room is a twin, there is no facility for more than one set of linens in the bathroom and no place or shelf to put toiletries. The staff was friendly but generally unknowledgeable about topics such as theaters, transport to Heathrow, etc. A 10 pound per day charge for access to the internet is uncompetitive.

The breakfast was out of this world. Very very nice. The rooms were a bit disappointing. My mother recently had a hip operation and the lifts weren't working so she had to trek up three flights of stairs. The hotel kindly deducted the price of our breakfast from the bill because of this inconvenience.

the hotel was reasonably priced for its location. The rooms were comfortable facilities good The lift was being refurbished (not stated at time of booking and looked like it had been out of order for some time) so had to carry bags upto 4th floor. windows of the hotel are old not double glazed and the noise from outside with being in the City centre can be a little loud.

Staff were friendly and welcoming. Room 13 was on ground floor and of a decent size even for a couple. Bed was comfortable and bathroom clean. Not too sure about value for money but I guess you are paying for location.

The staff were very helpful particularly paulo and roos anne the food was very good and the breakfast was super value at £10 with fresh fruit/yoghurts cold and hot buffet The rooms were ok but "tired" with windows that were thankfully part open but stuck! Could have done with air conditioning. Room was no smoking but as I pointed out to the indian gentlemen on reception there were cigarette butts on the window ledge which was filthy

The food was nice, staff very friendly but the room I was in (410) was the smallest room I've ever been in. I could lie on the bed, and touch both walls if I put my arms out!

- Central location - Staff were awful. Could not answer basic questions about how to get to major sights, provided wrong directions then couldn't be bothered with more than a half hearted apology. - Room was simply not clean. I could have written my name in the dust in certain areas of the room

Location is quite good and room was clean. The room had a window over a back alley and there was scaffolding against the building; with the steel bars across it the room was like a prison cell. Also, very small an little space around bed. In general the corridors and doors looked a bit scruffy.

Really good location, easily staggerable to Covent Garden / Soho / Oxford St etc. Great local restaurants within yards (Il Fornello was fine... cheap (in the nicest way) decent grub and friendly). Plenty of pub crawl opportunities (start at Cosmo Place next door, head to The Lamb, then Princess Louise-wards and go from there....). Handy for tubes (Russell Sq / Holborn). Nice friendly hotel, good rooms, really clean etc.... Will be the first place we'll try for future London knees-ups.... Park at The Imperial (200 yards away) if you come in the car. It's reasonable (15 quid a day I think) but seems well safe (underground car park). Have fun All good for us, no problems at all :)
