We stayed at the Crescent for six nights at the beginning and end of our Great Britain trip. We would stay there again without any hesitation and would recommend it to friends. The guest care is excellent, the staff very responsive and professional. The breakfast choices are delicious. more

Stayed here for about ten days in May 2008. All in all, a good budget hotel in one of the most expensive cities in the world. I paid 49 pounds per night for a single, with shower and sink in the room, toilet down the hall. Room "compact" with little storage other than a wardrobe and desk with 4 shallow... more

Located in the Bloomsbury section, close to three tube stations, within walking distance to the British Museum and the British Library, this b&b gives great value in a pleasant setting. The staff is cheerful and courteous. There is a scumptious English breakfast served. Rooms are a bit on the small side and bathrooms are OK but need some updating. One... more

The hotel is conveniently located near Kings Cross and the British Museum. It is on a quiet street. The hotel isn't too big, and the breakfast was large and yummy. My room was small, but it is London, and most of the room was taken up by the bed--though there was a high ceiling. There was also a small TV.... more

Compared to some other London hotels we stayed in, Crescent Hotel in Cartwright Gardens was quite good. Our en suite double room was clean, towels new(ish) (not torn or frayed as in some other places), the mattress and pillows reasonably comfortable. The room and the bathroom were small, but not tiny. The bathroom did NOT remind us of plane toilets... more

After being unable to book a reasonable hotel room, my husband and I settled for the Crescent Hotel, which was listed in Fodor's, but had mediocre Trip Advisor reviews. Much to our surprise and delight, we found our 5 night stay to be a pleasant experience, with a friendly, accomodating staff ( carrying luggage, ordering cabs), a well prepared breakfast,... more

I don't fathom most of the other reviews. We found the Crescent to be a perfectly lovely place to stay: clean, attractive, reasonably sized rooms (for London), wonderful location (walk to Euston and King's Cross Stations, British Museum, lots of stuff), pleasant and tasty breakfast, and pleasant staff (who moved our luggage into our room so we could run off... more

Asked for quiet room on top floor. Query respected. But, room underlit, a bit shabby. We found a used towel on the bathroom floor. We put it aside and asked the cleaning girls to take it away... but found the same -dirty- towel neatly spread over our clean ones ! Disgusting ! Staff not really concerned and bathroom not correctly... more

Much too expensive for what you get, even for London. Very steep stairs, especially to top floor. No offer of help in carrying bags. Bare-bones breakfast. Staff not very welcoming. But, a convenient location on an attractive crescent, and it seemed to us to be clean. more
