I was traveling with a group of college students, and we were on a budget. We travel overseas every year, and our travel company is generally able to find us moderately priced hotels that provide reasonable comfort in good location for student travel in a large city. Knowing that London is an expensive locale, we knew there would be challenges.... More

This hotel is quite new, or was at least recently remodeled--presumably in connection with the 2012 Olympics. So the furniture and carpets are quite modern, and in good condition. And the building itself is certainly nicer than some of the other hotels in the neighborhood. The room seems fairly soundproof, though I'm not sure if there are people in the... More

I had an overnight there, the hotel is well located, although wifi is paid, which is not normal for an hotel in 2013. I think management has to re consider that .Bus stop right down the street from hotel. room is ok as per the price we did paid

Excellent price (including continental breakfast) - lovely room, everything we needed to visit the British Museum, and within easy walk of the Kings Cross train station. We booked via Malcolm Saul, Travel Counsellor, which made the whole process very easy!

My sister and I spent 4 nights here in April. We came to London to visit her daughter who was studying at University College London and to sightsee. The hotel is very close to the student housing. It is a 10 minute walk to the Russell Square Tube station, the Kings Cross Tube station and the St. Pancreas train station.... More

Stayed there for a week on business. Since it was business, and it is catering to business travellers, then the hotel needs to fix one big thing: Internet.

Other reviews are mixed and I agree, food is excellent and health centre a bonus if you are willing to pay for each person per day. However, rooms are missing some of the things you might expect, no selection of teas/coffess, limited sugar milk, no shower caps etc. I booked 3 rooms for 4 adults and 3 children on a... More
