The location couldn’t be better, a 10 minute walk from Russell Square, 15 minutes from the British Museum, in a lovely and safe-feeling area. The staff were also great. Contra to some previous reviews, they carried my luggage both to and from my room and were consistently friendly and helpful both before and during my stay. The pluses in addition to location: The bed is comfortable, the duvet very soft, and the rain shower head was wonderful. There is also a refrigerator in the room, a rarity for London hotels and very appreciated. Would definitely stay there again even though a bit pricey.

Some downsides: Very small single room though the hotel photos were honest about this, notably so. No place to really unpack, only 4 hangers given. The hotel website listed amenities for each room but I learned that you had to ask for many of them like a robe and newspaper. It’s uncomfortable for a guest to have to constantly ask for things—first it was the hangers, then a door stop, then the robe. I stopped there, again, feeling uncomfortable.

Excellent location, in walking distance (10 minutes) from King's Cross / St Pancras. Nicely placed, overlooking a park in a quiet side street. My room was clean, decent size and layout. For the price I paid, it couldn't have been any better!

I was there only for one night, on a very hot day in London. There is no air condition in the room, and you can also only open the window a tiny crack. So even during the night, when it was much cooler outside, it was still scorching hot in the room, because the air couldn't circulate. Also, there is no elevator, so if you have a lot of luggage, that will be difficult, as the stairs are quite narrow as well.

The room was very clean and spacious relatively to London (with garden view). The personnel is exceptionally helpful in everything we needed. The neighborhood and the street are quiet . The breakfast is tasty and is served in the college nearby (you need to go out for the breakfast).

The location vs. public transport is not ideal. It is about 8-10 min walk until closest bus stop or underground station. Especially you feel this distance when coming back from busy day sightseeing and tired. :) The breakfast is the same every day, there is no variety, so on the 4th and 5th day it was boring... There is no lift and the stairs are a bit narrow, just to be aware of. The reception might be in the next door entrance (need to go outside to get there), but most of the things are sorted by phone, so it was not a big deal. We could hear people in the room above us going around the room and showering... Bearable but strange... :)

Overall I had a nice stay. Room was very clean & nice & the single room is a good size for London. Had a view of Mecklenburgh Square & was handy to have a fridge, ironing board & safe in my room. Didn't have the breakfast but location is fantastic, so many cafes nearby. I recommend Half Cup if you dont mind queueing. Very handy stroll to British Museum, British Library, Charles Dickens Museum & King's Cross.

I stayed several nights & first night I had cookies & a can of water in my room. These were never replaced on subsequent nights when the room was cleaned, which seemed a little on the penny-pinching side when I was paying the same rate every night. But can also appreciate that running a hotel in central London is increasingly expensive. But I'd still recommend this hotel for its cleanliness, safety & great location .

We stayed for a week. The staff was very kind. The room was nice, with a good size. Tha bathroom was also very convenient. Very good heat system. The hotel provides breakfast - but it is better to choose (same price - breakfast providing by the hotel) in the nearby univerisity hall (that has a very traditional surrounding, wooden decoration, large hall) where the sense is so nice. Internet connection was also excellent. The area is quite enough, in front to a large athletic park - closest Tube station is Russel Square in 7 min walking distance (but also there are 2 other stations in 10-12 min) and some buses as well.

There is no elevator, so staying in the 2st floor was a little difficult. An information is needed before arrival, in order to arrange any different room.

The staff stood out to me. They were so accommodating and efficient. The location was in a lovely part of Camden, London. I took the Piccadilly Line from Heathrow directly to Russell Square and then walked 10 minutes to the hotel, extremely convenient. Uber pickups at the hotel were similarly convenient. I will stay here every time I return to London. Also, being able to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at GoodEnough College across the street from the hotel was a great plus; the student staff there were equally friendly and welcoming.

There is very little to not like in this hotel.

The location was perfect for us. Not far from Kings Cross close to Tube lines. Close enough to walk to the river if you so wanted. Lots of Pubs and shops nearby too. The room was a good size, very clean and the bed was comfortable. There is a bag drop off service. Breakfast was tasty. There are loads of handy bits in the room like a safe, fridge and iron. Lovely shampoo and things to use while showering. Would definitely stay here again the future

The room was listed as a courtyard view. While this is technically true, it's not a view you really want as the courtyard is a tiny drab area in between you and an office building. It's not very pretty but not the end of the world.

The pleasant single hotel room overlooking the park across the road was a little bigger than I expected and had all that I could want, including an adequate desk to work at. Also, importantly, the bedroom and bathroom were very clean. The hot breakfast is served in a different building (continental breakfast served onsite) and there was some confusion as to whether I would get the hotel discount price or not (I did, but had to argue the kitchen manager for it), but the breakfast itself was good. The hotel is on a quiet road and in an excellent location in Bloomsbury, about 10-12 min walk from Kings Cross / St Pancras or Russell St stations. The Brunswick Centre for food choices and supermarket is also about 10-15 min walk away. The Harrison Pub, about 5 min walk, also does a good meal. Note there is no air conditioning in the bedrooms due to to the hotel being a heritage building - but they will supply fans - so am not sure how the rooms would be in summer. I like that the profits of the hotel go toward supporting the Goodenough College (established in 1930 by Frederick Craufurd Goodenough) to provide accommodation and community to postgraduate students, largely international students with limited means. I will definitely stay again. Overall, I loved the hotel and the Bloomsbury area.

Clarity about the hotel discount for breakfast, although when I reported this, the reception staff took this seriously and I believe it may have been sorted. I didn't have another opportunity to get the hotel hot breakfast again due to work commitments.

Fantastic staff. The facilities are good and spacious for London, but do not expect any luxurious experience. It's good, clean, and great value for money, but it is not modern/high-end, especially in the shared areas. But it has everything you would expect for the money, the staff is really helpful, it's clean and very comfortable beds!

The common areas could need a face-lift, and the maintenance crew could be a bit quieter in the backyard in the morning. We were woken up by loud conversations (not work noises), right outside our room at 8-9 in the morning.

Quiet location, despite being only a 12 minute walk from Kings Cross. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was lovely and the breakfast was vast, good quality and served with a smile. The room was decorated nicely, the staff were helpful and friendly. Enjoying breakfast in the Great Hall was especially lovely, the college courtyard and buildings are very pretty, and the square immediately outside the hotel is quiet, relaxing and full of green paraqueets.

On arrival, the room we were put into had a terrible damp smell coming from the ensuite. I reported it to the staff, and they worked well to change us into an equal room quickly. The fix was great, but at a 4 star hotel I would expect the initial room to be 100% checked and passed, to avoid us spending our holiday time resolving/moving rooms. The staff handled it very well, I have no complaints on that.
