Lovely hotel

The hotel was lovely and the staff very nice and helpful. We arrived early and were given a bedroom before checking time which was much appreciated. Lovely, very clean and nicely furnished bedrooms with comfy beds. Good coffee. A mini fridge would be a bonus. Breakfast was very good too but a bit pricey. Would highly recommend this hotel. Location is so handy too.

Comfortable stay

The staff we interacted with were nice and friendly we were even allowed to check in a little early. The room was very clean and had everything needed. The only thing was we were woken around 4am the first night by the fire alarm going off for around 10 second but no mention of it or an apology from staff. The shower screen seems very small for the shower space and unfortunately means the bathroom floor gets quite wet.

Very close to Euston train station. Close to markets any restaurants. It’s close to a hospital so you hear sirens every 1/2 hour. Even with the window closed, I could hear them at 2 AM. My room was facing the street.

Excellent stay

Great stay at the Ambassador. Check- in staff were excellent - very friendly & attentive. The bar staff were equally engaging. Room was lovely, albeit not huge but had everything you needed included lots of clever storage and loads of sockets (amazing!). Bed was huge and very comfortable. Will definitely be staying here again!

Fab room, customer service could be a nit improved

Lovely room, clean, great location. However disaapointing cocktail (it was warm?!). We were also given only 1 keycard between 2 (adults) which then necessitated careful planning when i poped out for a morning walk and didnt wNtvto disturbe my husband, but had to leave hime with no lights or electricity. And then although check out is 12, got a knock on the door at 10 am when we were leaving. Felt rushed and pressured to Vacate room on what we'd planned to be a relaxing morning. Disapponting end way to end our stay. Over very good value, clean and good location, but a few small tweaks would've made this really excellent.
