Good location, but a dated noisy hotel. Nothing puts off the wife more than slidding bathroom and toliet doors. We also unfortunately had a connecting room (only room available even though booked six weeks in advance) and could hear nexts door conversation. Maids also start at around 7am!

16/16 found this review helpful

During July I stayed at the Imperial Hotel, Russell Square with my elderly parents in a room accommodating 3 persons. We were very happy with the room as it was clean, bigger than expected and serviced daily by very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast is plentyful and of a high standard - far better than any other breakfasts we had had at the numerous hotels visited during our trip. The hotel is a 3 minute walk from the tube station. The tube does have stairs that have to negotiated before getting to the trains. The Imperial Hotel is an old building and the carpets are wearing thin but considering what you get and the price I would definitely stay there whenever I visit London. Staff at Reception and the Porters are helpful, pleasant and always ready to be of assistance in any way they can.

4/4 found this review helpful

I found the staff to be friendly and check in was fast and efficient. My room was small and outdated, looks the 70's still. The bathroom was good, the water ran fine.
The hotel was situated in a good spot and not too far from Oxford Street. Hotels are expensive in London so i guess this was resonably priced but compared to what you pay in London to other places around the world i think the rooms could be a lot nicer however i would recomend this place.

We stayed at the imperial for one night and we found it good value for the money. Parking was very convenient and reasonably priced for its location. Hotel room was clean with separate toilet & bathroom, (although these two rooms were a bit of a squeeze). Request a room with a view over the park as we were at the back of the hotel and found the air conditioning of adjoining building a bit noisey and were unable to have window open at night, (it was a hot night). Breakfast was very good, bar was ideal at night, cashpoint and shop in hotel very convenient. One tip though, take some quality tea bags with you as complimentary beverages in room a bit stingy. Would definately use again.
