This hotel was very conveniently located in order to access Victoria station. It was also walkable to many restaurants and pubs. The room was clean and comfortable and surprisingly quiet for being in the heart of the city. I would stay here again!

Great location. Large room and bathroom with great amenities available in room (washing machine/dryer, dishwasher, daily replenish of water and snacks).
Clise to tube station, LDR and walking distance to tower bridge and Tower of London.
A great place for families who are planning to stay for extended period of time in London.
The only issue was the elevators. Very few and slow.

Very clean room everyday service was top notch. Lots of big, fluffy towels and all the milk we wanted for tea. Comfy beds, and hotel was very quiet. Excellent!

Spent three nights at this cozy little hotel. My single room was well designed for the space limitations and equipped with modern fixtures. Would single out Mehd who was very friendly, checked me in and brought my bags up 3 flights of stairs to the 3rd floor where I stayed. Buddha and Hakeem are also to be commended for their warmth and helping to make my stay very enjoyable. Hotel is ideally located in terms of proximity to public transport including Paddington station (2 min). Restaurants...

What we loved most about The Tavistock was the convenience. We took the tube directly from Heathrow to Russel Square. The hotel was a few minutes walk. We also walked to Euston Station and Kings Cross. We enjoyed many restaurants and pubs as well. All within walking distance.

Huge room with 2 queen beds, a/c worked well, in room amenities were nice. On booking I noted we were celebrating our daughter's birthday and were surprised with a birthday card and treat in the room on our first day. They also provided a complimentary bottle of red wine which was a nice touch. The breakfast was great, many options to choose from and eggs made to order. Excellent location. Walkable to Tower of London and tower bridge; tower bridge tube stop is steps from the hotel which was very...

Clean room. Friendly staff. Great location. Room was a bit on the smaller side but that is to be expected with the area. Great amenities, lighting, and charging options within the room itself. Did not feel like the size of the room negatively impacted our stay at all. AC worked well.
