Travelled with family
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is perfect as there are two tube lines (Russell Square and Euston Station) nearby as well as pretty close to St. Pancras International Train Station. The rooms were clean and adequate for our party of three. The English breakfast buffet was full of many options and the wait staff was efficient and pleasant.

The shower room horrible. Room smells of old dingy furniture. The water sometimes boiling or cold. Had to regulate but still got burned. The shower curtain old and dingy would stick to your body while you showering. The worst place I ever stayed in. But hey it’s on me I read the reviews and still went. Lesson learned
