Great location!

I have stayed here maybe 4 or 5 times now, the hotel is quite basic especially if you’re not in a plus room but it is good value for money, staff are friendly and the location is excellent. Very close to Russell Square tube station as well as a number of eateries.

Basic but clean rooms. I appreciate how they have openable windows. I can’t stand turning up to a hotel room and finding the windows don’t open. There was a bad drains smell coming from the bathroom. Hotel was very busy with long queues for breakfast so I didn’t bother. Overall not a bad stay but what you get is basic when you’re paying almost £200 a night.

Very basic Ibis style interior fur the room. Breakfast is a farce! Long queues to book in. They start to make excuses with signage about the 08:00 rush on check-in. Balshy service at breakfast. Food was ok though st breakfast.

Business traveller

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room felt sparse, with furnishings limited to a small round table and a single chair, no luggage stand and no mini fridge provided, which was disappointing for this price range. Housekeeping began knocking loudly on the door as early as 7 am, including on checkout day. When I declined service, staff were abrupt and insisted I post a “do not disturb” sign, though I hadn’t expected housekeeping so early and assumed it wouldn’t be necessary. The location is the only redeeming feature; however, for rates over £200 per night, I truly expected a more comfortable and better-equipped experience.

The staff was very friendly and responsive to our requests upon arrival, since they quickly were able to move us into a room with a walk-in shower and add a roll away bed to accommodate three adult guests comfortably.

I stayed in the sister hotel next door earlier in the year while this was being renovated. Its nice to see it complete and it looks great. The 3 occupancy room was ideal for us as a family and was well equipped and comfy. Paid a bit extra for breakfast which was really good and good value The shower wasnt the best and tricky to get the temperature right. And there was a fire alarm at 2am which wasnt much fun standing outside for an hour. Would have expected some sort of compensation for this
