Our room was small but clean and functional (desk etc) although it lacked a fridge and safe. We got a good deal so not a problem but the rooms vary so if you are paying full price check what you are getting. All the staff were friendly and efficient. Russell Square tube is a short walk and even Leicester Square... More

I will discuss these with Gerald, our... More

If you've stayed at a Holiday Inn before then you'll know exactly what to expect from this one as the rooms are identical!!!! The location was handy for the tube system. There were a couple of pubs nearby which were also handy!!!! The rooms are basic and clean enough.... although there isn't enough room to "swing a cat"!!!!! The main... More

JUst spent 4 nights here on business/pleasure, would normally stay closer to the action in Mayfar but due to high numbers of delagates on business trip booked here. Great deals at the weekend, huge breakfast choice, fantastic staff an "Irish Bar" but also a nice lobby bar as well. Less than 1 minute walk from Tube Station and 7-8 mins... More

For Tourists like us the location was fabulous. Walking distance to the British Museum at Russell Square and the British Library at St. Pancreas... don't miss them if you are a history buff. Several Pubs on the block with good food and drink, a small mall with a grocery store, restaurants, Starbuck's and money ATM. Clean and efficient with enough... More

Room was bigger than your standard European hotel, although doorway was a bit narrow. Breakfast was good, with plenty of selection of both hot and cold options. Generally good service.

This hotel has been used for years apparently by my company when we hold events at the Royal College of Surgeons. This will be changing as I cannot get over the lack of value for money in the hotel.
