Stayed here with a friend while we visited London for a concert. Hotel was 10 minute walk from Euston station so location was ideal for us. Room was clean, comfy beds and they took in to account my request for a room at the back which was very quiet no outside noise at all. Ideal for a quick overnight stay.

This hotel was perfect for our needs. It had 2 beds and an open concept which made it easy to store luggage. It is centrally located in the city and very close to the Piccadilly line which made getting to and from the airport easy. There are also plenty of restaurants and grocery stores around if you need a bite after traveling all day. Great spot. Would stay again.

We have stayed at the City Sleeper or its alter ego Royal National biannually for over 20 years. A clean place to lay your head with an excellent helpful staff makes it a wonderful place. A short distance from the Russell Square stop and only 2 blocks from a Waitrose (rumor has it that it may close for recursing) with shopping center with goo, numerous places to eat makes it even better

The room was clean and nice. Decent size for two people. The only concern is the shower is tight with no door. Water spill on the floor and can be slippery. Very nice breakfast. Excellent location in a quiet neighborhood close to a tube station and train station. If you prefer walking, it is only 15 to 20 minutes walk to major attractions.
