This hotel was the best value for the money that we could find. It is in a fantastic location near Russell Sq and within walking distance of many sights and also within 2 blocks of a tube station. Yes, the rooms are smaller than most US hotels but this hotel was built in the 20's or 30's, so of course... more

We chose the location for its proximity to the British Museum (it was still quite a hike) and the British Library. We were pleased to find it was also close to the Eustace station of the Underground. It was easy to combine underground/bus/walking to get to the places we wanted to see. We found an excellent Indian restaurant (Depa Tandoori)... more

My wife and I spent three nights at the Jenkins. We go to London virtually every year and this is far and away our favorite hotel. We will book there every time we go if we can. The rooms are nice and the breakfast is very good. The staff were extraordinarily helpful to us. more

My family had stayed here years ago and it has gone downhill. Toilet in room is a disgusting pod style that includes the shower in a 4 by 4 closet. No hot water, toilet doesn't flush. Generally clean but rather gross. Stay at the Cresecent hotel a few doors down for the same price instead. This place is not good. more

This hotel was located in a wonderful location. It is near a major tube station with direct access to all lines. Check out Mabel's Pub around the corner while there. We spent way too much time at that place. The rooms are nice (especially for the price) with all of the expected appointments. We were upgraded to a larger room... more

I stayed at the Jenkins in April and liked it just fine. The bathroom is not big, but I've seen smaller bathrooms in apartments in the U.S. The place was clean, safe, charming, and a nice breakfast was included as well. The location was fabulous. I definately would stay there again. The big windows were very nice. more

The Jenkins Hotel in London's Bloomsbury district, close to the Russell Square underground station and the British Museum, is exactly as described on its website and by travelers who have posted reviews on Trip Advisor. The price was the only thing charming about the place. The little pre-fab bathrooms installed in the corner of the rooms were just dreadful, and... more

Friendly staff and typical basic but adequate breakfast. We stayed in a room on the ground floor that was rather tight to enter (door opens to about 60 degrees before hitting a wall) but adequate once inside. A plug-in heater was provided, and necessary, to keep the room warm. The major complaint was the lack of hot water. We heard... more

Spent 3 nights here in late October in a triple (2 twins + a "roll-away") on the very top floor. Comfortable beds & very clean room & bath; quiet (though we loved the fact that, when we had the window open, we could hear Big Ben chiming in the distance!) Good, familiar renditions of the full English breakfast. Spent our... more
