Great location. Hotel and staff are very nice. Room is quite warm, had to keep the floor fan provided on almost entire stay. Everything else was wonderful.

Comfortable beds and bedding. Bathroom was clean. Staff was friendly and efficient. We were allowed to store our luggage both before and after our stay for free of charge. Might be an America. thing but I missed air conditioning, ice and wash cloths. I did appreciate the large fan. It helped with air circulation.

A winner!!

For a large, busy hotel, the Royal National is always exceptionally well organised and staff go out of their way to provide great service. The City Sleeper at the Royal National provides nicer, upgraded rooms in a quieter wing of the hotel. It comes with its own reception desk and separate breakfast room. Brilliant location only 15 minutes walk from Kings Cross station and then 20 minutes onwards to Covent Garden. Nearest tube stop and also the British Museum are 5 minutes away. With London hotels costing a fortune, especially at the weekend, this is our ‘go to’ hotel when visiting the capital; providing a good balance of cost, location and quality.
