The hotel is conveniently located near Russel Square Tube station, making it easy to get to and from Euston station. The rooms were basic but very clean, lacking net curtains for good ventilation, though slightly small for bigger luggages. The service was accommodating with a lovely atmosphere, but there was confusion about check-in times. The location, while not central, is interesting to explore, especially for those visiting UCL/IoE. The dining experience was somewhat chaotic with copious but basic and English-oriented meals. The facilities were adequate but did not exceed expectations.

The hotel's location is convenient, with easy access to Euston Station and other main attractions within a pleasant stroll. The rooms need a significant update and were quite small for two people. The service was a mix of unhelpful staff during noisy disturbances and genuinely pleasant and informative assistance. The dining experience varied from disorganised to pleasantly surprising. Overall, the value for money is questionable.

The hotel is conveniently located in Bloomsbury, just a 5-minute walk to Russel Square underground, offering a stunning view of leafy Tavistock Square. The rooms are small and compact but clean and comfortable, with an army bed provided that was super uncomfortable. The service was overall friendly and attentive, although I received inaccurate information about the cancellation policy. The breakfast, a basic but free offering, was just enough to start the day. However, the dining options were nothing out of the ordinary. The location is excellent, being a short walk to Kings Cross and Euston, making it easy to explore London.

The hotel was okay overall with some mixed aspects. The rooms were ancient and a bit depressing, lacking proper amenities and ventilation; however, they were adequate for a short stay. The service was efficient but lacked warmth at times, except for the kind Concierge. The location was brilliant for exploring nearby attractions, but there was room for improvement in the overall room quality compared to other establishments. The dining experience was good with a decent selection, although there were minor inconveniences during busy times. Overall, a straightforward stay with a few ups and downs.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of delightful and disappointing experiences. The rooms overlooked the 'Peace Garden,' which was lovely, but they could do with refurbishing and were a bit shabby, with an issue of being very hot. The location was convenient near Euston station, but the room placement for hanging clothes was awkward. The dining was good with a selection, but breakfast could use more fresh fruits and vegetables. The service, however, was a letdown due to a few rude encounters and disruptive noise. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.
