Worse than shabby. Room obviously hadn't been hoovered in a while. 3 out of 4 pillowcases had stains on them and 2 of them stank. Room faced onto courtyard and was impossibly noisy all night. Be aware that this is clearly a hotel with connections to the youth touring market - Contiki etc. and so expect hoards of screeching teenagers... more

I was not impressed by The Royal National Hotel at all. First of all, through my travel agent, I booked to stay two nights before my tour. After I had confirmed and paid, however, my flight changed and instead of arriving at 2pm on the Sunday I was to arrive at 6am. As I'd already paid for the two nights... more

My friend and I stayed in May at the hotel. We arrived early to check in. After walking up to the front desk, we were checked in and given the keys to our room. So service was great. We were able to grab a couple of hours sleep before heading out to walk thorough London the evening we flew in.... more

I was reading what other guest have been writing about this hotel. But I didn´t have to be afraid. You cannot compare it with the standard of hotells in Sweden, but it was ok. Of course the hotell is time-stained. But for sleeping it´s ok. We also took a break having coffea and tea. And were lying down having a... more

Our room was in the inner quadrangle. So very noisy. more

It did the job. Rooms were very very small and the sheets were uncomfortable. The toilets did not have a lock on the door. Shower was leaking. Rusty taps. Food was okay. Breakfast was utterly repulsive. I ate form the vending machines. Three people in my tour group became ill due to the dinner food. My experience of dinner was... more

This is a cheap hotel in the heart of London. That being said, it is more like a massive hostel, with VERY noisy pubs on the first floor - don't expect to get any sleep if your room faces the interior area, we had to ask them to change our room after the second night without any sleep. Saw similar... more

Booked the hotel on Agents recommendation. It was within our budget of 100 pounds a night. The pictures on the website looked good, but the hotel is VERY shabby. More like a large hostel rather than a hotel. Rooms were FILTHY. Unimaginable that one pays 100 pounds a night and gets a room like this. Do note, I dont mean... more

We stayed here for 2 days while on a mini break. The hotel was only a base for us as we were out and about most of the time. Dont expect a 5* hotel as it isnt! But, its ok. There were lots of big groups and its a massive hotel. Breakfast was very basic - a bit like a... more
