    The shower as it was a disabled shower. Hard to use as you can’t adjust it to meet normal people abilities.

    The location of the facility. I was great for transport

    Great location and good value. Quiet room and comfortable bed. Breakfast buffet extra but worth it.

    The hotel is currently doing major renovations, so we got the feeling that the room was in transition. We had drapes on the window, but no sheers underneath, so we couldn't leave the drapes open for natural light, and the heating pipes leading to the heater under the window were in view (see photo). View from the window wasn't great - looking directly at more suites. No refrigerator, instant coffee and tea provided with an electric kettle. Small work/desk surface and 1 chair. Large shower, but only half of it had a fixed glass door so water went out onto the bathroom floor - no way to close it off.

    The location was perfect. We wanted to go to the British Museum on our first day and it was only a few minutes' walk. TIP: Go to the back entrance for the musuem on Montague Place. No need to prebook tickets and the wait was just 15 minutes to get in. Prebooked tickets lineup was at the front entrance of the museum and a block long. We didn't book the breakfast on the first day because we were late getting downstairs and missed the time (ended at 1030 am). We did get the breakfast on the other days, without prebooking. It was 15 euros/pp and was excellent. A full buffet and well worth it. Great start to the day. Room was very quiet and clean. Bed comfortable. Good USB outlets for charging devices. Wifi was free and pretty fast. The hotel is made up of 2 - 7 storey blocks, so there are lots of rooms available.

    Breakfast average - cold on hot section, poor for money. Decent quality pillows and better breakfast needed - eggs cold and rubbery, poor quality bread - need to up your game

    Not worth the money even in central London. It was ‘fine’ but pillow soft , breakfast quality very average. Sorry but needs to up game all round.

    I’ve stayed here a few times now it has been very convenient and accommodating for us during short stay-overs in London. Affordable for the location, very close to Russel square tube station so easy to get anywhere in town from the hotel. Clean and safe!

    The room was facing the courtyard and it was very noisy, the windows barely block any noise. They have a bar at the courtyard so it was hard to get any sleep before midnight

    Perfectly located, room was clean and bed was comfortable.

    The windows were a little thin to block out the noise from outside but is understandable being in a city. Extra socket near the hairdryer to plug in straighters would have helped

    Great location for the city. Had an evening meal in the London Pub in the courtyard, which was lovely. Room was clean and comfortable, shower was great too.

    Good location Room very clean Excellent shower and bathroom. Shower was walk with taps at walk in end rather than under the head which meant easy temperature adjustment before getting wet with too hot or too cold water. Simple but genius idea! Room was for 4 and still had a decent amount of space for just a one night stay Breakfast had a good choice and included
