Property very old and crammed. Rooms had a musty smell to them and beds were very uncomphy as you could feel the springs. Wifi barely worked in the room and called to complain to get it fixed and never did. Location was about the only positive of this place.

Liked: Staff & service
good location and walking distance to attractions like British Museum, Chinatown ..
check in process is effecient but have to wait 15 minutes before reaching the reception counter, with some people more than 30 minutes but may be in peak hours. should deploy more staff according to needs.
wifi is almost unavailable in room. thought that might due to too many rooms for limited bandwidth.
all hotel staff is attentive, from.house keeping to restaurant.
The Royal National is fine for what it is but know coming in that it is essentially a dorm room. It’s a step up from a hostel in that you have the privacy of a private room & bath but it has no updates or perks. The lobby is loud and it is loud when housekeeping is working on the floors but wasn’t loud when sleeping during my stay. It’s a good option in a great location if you are traveling on a budget & plan to only be in the hotel for sleep.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The front desk and housekeeping staff were mostly wonderful.
The worst experience was the extremely hard pillows and NOISE from partiers on the street = broken sleep every night.
Ask for a non-street side room.
Breakfast buffet is very good, but it is packed!
The only thing we did not like that it is cashless as they should give you an option whether you would like to pay by cash or card. Or at least they should advice you from before that they do not accept cash
Expedia needs to correct the photo of the check in desk & the name. They booked us into the “City Sleeper” which is a separate hotel in the same building. After waiting in a long line The Royal National Hotel couldn’t find us. We figured out from an email that it was the City Sleeper around the corner in the same lobby. Once we figured it out all was Ok. A nice clean property with a decent breakfast.
We were put into a disabled persons room for some reason! Shower too low, heatung noisy all night and traffic noise was bad. Crowded breakfast area and poor service. Nothing good about this hotel.
This is an older property but well kept and in a great location. The staff was very nice. My only real complaint is that the mattresses were basic hard innerspring and really tough on my back. The staff was kind enough to bring up four comforters to provide cushioning on top of the mattresses which helped. Also this hotel does not have air conditioned room. Luckily temps in London were cool so it was fine.
