I was a little worried having read the reviews about the hotel before we stayed for one night as a part of a theatre hotel deal. I have to agree with many of the comments, it is basic but does what it says on the tin. It has a good location, the rooms are clean and there are no frills.... More

This is my 3rd visit to this hotel for a weekend break. The hotel is right next to Russell Sq tube station and walking distance to the British museum and Covent Garden. The hotel rooms are clean and comfortable have coffee making facilities, T.V,and hair dryer. The full English breakfast is lovely. This hotel is excellent value for money if... More

This hotel is in a great location, 2 minutes from Russell Square tube station. However, everything else is below average. The rooms, whilst small and clean, are reasonably comfortable but the fixtures and fittings are well past their sell-by date. There is no shower gel or shampoo provided so make sure you take your own. Towels are provided but are... More

The room was the pokiest noisiest room, the bed was like bedrock, some of the male staff were hostile and the breakfast was an absolute disgrace. We went for breakfast at 7 am because we were going on to Paris and had to be up early. You would have thought at this time the food would have just been cooked... More

I had expected the worst after reading other reviews but hey.......it's not in Park Lane or the West End......but it is in central London and so for the money they charge, it's a good deal IMHO. The hotel is generally ok and I agree with other reviewers, it does need a makeover as somethings are beginning to look a little... More

I have used the President Hotel and Imperial Hotel many times, but i am afraid, my custom will have to go elsewhere in future. The hotels have become super rundown. I can't understand what is stopping their owners/investors from full refurbishment considering that they appear to have an excellent demand and are located in one of the best areas to... More

Location, location, location: in Bloomsbury, right between the City and Westminster, Russell Square Underground Station right around the corner, and more or less within walking distance of Euston, St. Pancras (for Eurostar and First Capital Connect trains to Luton Airport), and King's Cross Railroad Stations. You can even walk to many sights, given that you're right in the heart of... More

Stayed here for 2 nights for a theatre break in May 2012. Chose the hotel because of the location and price which included breakfast on both mornings. Let me start on a positive - the location is good, just a 2 minute walk to Russell Square tube station, easy access to theatreland and a Tesco Express opposite the underground station... More
