Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The walk in price for a room is over £800 although we paid less than this for booking in advance. The room was very basic and there is no fridge. There was also no water provided which is ridiculous at this price. On the morning of my departure I washed my hair. It was clear from the moment I switched on the hairdryer that it had a problem. There was a rattling sound and a smell of burning. Small pieces of red hot metal flew out of the device. Surely appliances are checked regularly. Breakfast is okay but again not of the standard you would expect for a room costing over £800. The hotel is not located near a railway station. It is not that far to walk unless you have heavy bags.

Very efficient and smooth check in and check out. Room was a decent size (for London) and had what turned out to be invaluable aircon during a hot spell of 30c days. Breakfast was great, we're early risers but if you want a lie in you'll end up queuing to get in. Highly recommended.

Great service at reception polite and helpful. Bedroom was clean and tidy however there was a pillar from floor to ceiling right in the middle of the room, so one of us was unable to see the TV !!!! Breakfast was hot and tasty with plenty of options available

Great hotel close to Russell Square tube station, and Tesco and other shops just a few mins walk away. What a great hotel - attentive and friendly staff who gave a really good level of service; everyone seemed really interested in doing their best and you could sense pride in the hotel.

Not the most comfortable hotel we have ever stayed at as a family. The sofa bed was very uncomfortable and the main bed wasn't great either. It was all very small and stuffy in the room with no real ventilation. The guy who welcomed us was super friendly and was always smiling. The breakfast isn't worth the price, especially if you're not making the most of the kids eat free deal. There are lots of local cafes and shops serving much better food. The staff were all really lovely though and did a great job. We stayed for 3 nights as a family of 4.

Very good location - moments from Russell Square and 10 mins walk to Holborn. Decent breakfast and friendly staff. Rooms are small and perhaps aging a little. Bathroom was clean (as was the hotel generally). Felt like the room could do with a good airing

Good location - only a few minutes from Euston & St Pancras Stations and Russell Square tube station. Staff always friendly and helpful. Bedrooms usually quite small but adequately equipped and comfortable. Good selection at breakfast and plenty of space in dining area.

Very poor standard - reception looks nice but rooms are ratty and in need of refurbishment. Room was tiny with poor heating, stained carpet, TV was not working and the pipes from the toilet next door made a huge racket all night and payment was taken twice from my account - when this was challenged at reception I was told ‘it may be refunded within the next 10 days if not give us a call……’ They have a joke rack rate of £849 per night…. There are far better hotels for the money DON’T stay at this one!!

Stayed for 2 nights on business. First night arrival was pleasant enough and the room was clean and contained everything I needed. It was a little small and could do with a refresh but served its purpose. The adjoining bar was rowdy on the first night (staff were apologetic) but soulless the second night. No gym which I found incredible for a hotel of this size! Food was really poor quality and choice, and these are the main reasons why I have marked down the hotel. That being said, it’s in a great location with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. I wouldn’t wish to return.
