Great hotel close to lots of attractions. Beautiful bar/restaurant on site with lots of dining options close by. Shower was amazing, incredible water pressure. No AC, but fan in room so was fine. Would highly recommend for location.

For a central London hotel this is very good value, the staff are very friendly and accommodating and the rooms are a decent size (again, this is London....). Easy to get to by bus or Underground. Nice bar and restaurant in the hotel. Definitely recommend.

We thought the Tavistock gave very good value for money, given that it is a London hotel in walking distance from St Pancras, King’s Cross and Euston stations. From our experience and previous reviews, the rooms are quite small, but adequate. If you are staying in hot weather, be aware that there is no air on in the rooms, though a fan is provided. After reading about this, we requested and were given a first-floor room, rather than risking higher floors, which have been described as hotter still. The breakfast choices were excellent, with a wide range of fresh hot and cold foods available. I’d say that if you can’t find something you like there, it’s you that’s the problem, not the hotel! We were impressed by the willingness of the Hotel to store our luggage both before check-in and after check-out. This was systematically done, with a formal receipt for the bags matched to tags on the bags themselves. Staff were exceptionally accommodating and happy to accede to reasonable requests rather than ‘upsell’ everything; eg after eating out one night we just wanted two soft drinks in the bar to sit and chat - we had a soda water and a blackcurrant squash for £2.90 - in London! Note that there is a water chiller to fill your water bottles for free at the end of the bar, too.

Good hotel

Central Bloomsbury hotel. Good service and lots of staff for check in which was needed as very popular and busy hotel. Nice interior. Rooms clean and comfortable bed. But no air-con and it was incredibly hot and difficult to sleep as a result. The hotel had already put a fan in the room which was a bit helpful. Good breakfast. Close to public transport and the British Museum.

The staff was great, and the room was very small. We selected a king bed and the foot of the bed basically touched the table. Literally a half inch in between. And the shower was very narrow, so water was constantly getting on the floor.

The front desk needed more staff. Also, there was no one to help with our large, heavy suitcases, and that may have been because there weren't enough staff at the front desk. Everyone was very polite, though.
