I have booked this as a Birthday present for my partner to have a day/night out in London. We have enjoyed most of our time apart from our accommodation. I was deeply disappointed regarding our stay apparently in ''four star hotel'' more likely two star. Considering I have paid £116.90 for 1 night for room and breakfast what we have... more

For what you pay here I am sure you could do better. The big positive is that it is close to the tube and the British Museum. Contrary to other reviews we found the front desk staff to be useless. The concierge on the other hand was wonderful. The breakfast was nothing great for the price, cold toast, pedestrian pastries... more

The Hotel is a beautiful property and is decorated to high standard. The location is ideal for visitors to london and handy to the tube and bus stops. The staff were all friendly and helpful and the breakfast was of a good standard served in a lovely and efficent restaurant. The hotel is really let down by its poor housekeeping... more

This is a fantastic hotel within a wonderful historic building. I had a single room, and yes it was small but it was clean and comfortable. The location next to Russell square is pleasant and convenient for the British Museum and the University College London, and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The hotel is close to Underground, hop... more

I stayed in the hotel russell for 3 nights and would recommend this to anyone as a good base for seeing London. The hotel entrance is grand and right on russell square - lovely to sit in and have a coffee beside the fountain. there is a tube station less than 2 mins away. As a woman on my own... more

This is a lovely traditional hotel, just out of the center of London, yet only 20 minutes walk into the West End. The pictures on its web-site are exactly as it is, over looking Russell Square. The inside is wonderful. I booked a single room over looking the Square, it had ample space with a nice bathroom attatched. The bed... more

We have stayed at other hotels in the area and decided we would try the Russell. It was an excellent hotel. The room was nice, although the decor was bit outdated. The bathroom had been updated. We did have trouble with the heating and a/c unit. Thankfully it didn't bother us. One word of caution, the doors to the corridors... more

We Booked this hotel through connextions website which had a special offer on at the time and was pleasantly suprised how nice it was even if some reviews were a little negative. I thought this hotel location was great for visiting London being close to the British Museum and a tube station. The reception staff were very polite and friendly.... more

I thought this hotel was great. It was pricey, but I expected that for London. The location was amazing; close to the British Museum and a tube station. They were very nice about letting me check in early and told me that if I didn't like my room (since it was the only one available that early) I could wait... more
