Acceptable stay overall

clean roomgood locationdated roomiron unavailability
The location is close to the Russell Square underground station. I noticed there is a nearby TESCO express. Breakfast was included and the room was clean.
The rooms need updates. I requested an iron at 6:30am, but I could not get one until 8am. House keeping arrived then. THIS was frustrating.

friendly staffdecorated roomgood foodsmall bedroomnarrow closetbland decor
I found the staff very friendly. they remembered me from a previous visit. i found balloons and a complimentary bottle of wine in my double room. The staff had decorated it for my friend's birthday! the food at the restaurant was good.
The bedroom was a bit small. the closet was too narrow for the hangers. They didn't fit. there was a kettle and tea, but no coffee. the decor was bland for the price.

the hotel had a great location near transportation. the staff was friendly and helpful . i really appreciated the breakfast and the atrium bar, i found it convenient. the breakfast buffet included many options and a host was always there.
the room faced the backyard, i notice loud noise from the ventilation system and this affected sleep. it was hard to ignore the constant hum during the night. i wish the room had better soundproofing.

efficient check-infriendly staffattentive staffuncomfortable night
Check-in was seamless and efficient. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful . Breakfast offered a high standard. I found many choices and the staff were very attentive! I loved the convenient location near the tube station.
My room was very hot and lacked air conditioning. This made for an uncomfortable night. The open window helped a bit but it was too noisy outside! I hope they can improve the ventilation in all rooms.
