Very comfortable beds and the breakfast was amazing! The hotel has a great location (although park side was a bit loud - we arrived on a Sunday and it was quite lively with people and emergency vehicles). Would highly recommend!

Loved my stay at Tavistock, the location was awesome with lots within walking distance, including many bus stops, underground and train stations. The hotel was very clean, good water pressure in the shower and lovely hand, body and hair wash products provided. Bonus points for the pub and restaurant in the building meaning those really cold nights I didn't have to go outside after dinner.

Hotel was great. We slept too late and missed breakfast. Only issue is our room, 119, was across from a staff access room and we heard the door banging all morning. Obviously wasn’t too disruptive as we slept until 11:30.
