The hotel felt newer and taken care of. The rooms were clean. Staff were helpful and accommodating when we had to extend our stay. The location is great, it’s in a quiet safe area with lots of pubs and small shops. It’s within walking distance to the British Museum and Soho for more shopping.

It close to the British Museum, railway stations and university of London. But it is not in a crowded area. This is a hotel within a hotel. The main building is labeled on the map as royal national.

It was convenient, reasonably priced, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was well managed and the food was varied and plentiful. However, the window catch in my room was broken- I couldn’t close the window and the room would have benefitted from tissues and body lotion. I would book again.
