Hotel room was small but very clean and modern fixtures in bathroom, older building so outside noise is loud from hall and street. Location was good for exploring london, hop on hop off bus right in front was a plus. Restaurants very close the Salad restaurant down street was a plus, negative for hotel breakfast, 2 hotels in one. City Sleeper definitely best of 2. Will definitely recommend for a short stay.
Helpful staff! Clean and comfortable room. Wonderful location.

Comfortable clean room. Good facilities and wifi to support other stay.
It was very quiet and a nice temperature throughout the night which helped us have a good nights sleep.

Can't believe people pay a fortune for the HI over the road or the PI or Travel Lodge when you have this place a short walk for Covent Garden.
Room & bathroom spotless
Staff very attentive
Luggage hold very secure
Would benefit from signage to distinguish between the different hotels (in the same building) as initially went to the wrong reception and also spent too long looking for my room

Room was a good size and quiet. Beds were very comfy. Very clean room. Would recommend.
The staff was amazing especially Matteo who was very polite, helpful and went above and beyond helping with luggage, directions and any and all we asked of him. Looking forward to our next visit to London and we will stay again.
My daughter was very appreciative of Rafay who was considerate enough to allow her to check in earlier. The room was very clean and very spacious. They had the double twin bed which were quite comfy. A valuable asset after a whole day’s sightseeing. Another lure was a two-minute walk to Russell Square Station- very convenient indeed! This station is served by the Piccadilly Line from Heathrow airport. It offered an adequate buffet breakfast. But truly, the staff was most welcoming and helpful,
Clean room, helpful and friendly staff, and I loved the area. Only problem was someone tried to come into my room from the shared door. Thankfully I kept it locked
