Andrejs, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Read other reviews of bed bugs and dirt and was concerned - stayed on top floor: it was clean, no trace of pests. The bathroom was a retro 80s set up, nothing to fault. You pay for what you get: the Russell is basic but ideal for seeing London. Stayed in far more expensive places that have been far worse.
Crispin, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Right next door to tube station. Pret just across the road and a good pub 40 mtres away. All very convenient.
ANTHONY, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Was ok … just stayed one night and wanted a cheap hotel. Close to Eurostar start line. Was clean and bed comfy…
Justine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location
Very basic hostel level but the location is excellent, literally two steps from Piccadilly line underground from Heathrow. Lots of restaurants close by and good 24hr Tesco opposite. Clean but old premises, comfortable beds. Family room in the basement is great for 4-5 people and has full kitchen (old style).
Nina, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location. Easy check in and out. Soap and shampoo provided. A little dated.
Shao Ren, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not the best
This is not a hotel, it’s basically a room that was rented. There’s no service, no amenities, we took out our garbage after a few days. It’s hot and tiny for three people. It was a great location, and quiet. It’s cheaper than most “hotels” in London but there are reasons why it’s cheaper.
Lori, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location is great, our room was clean, and the beds were comfortable. The entrance and hallway are beat-up and smell funky but the bedroom and shared bath were fine. Not a fancy place, but a good price. The location is surprisingly quiet, even though it is right next to the Russell Square station.

4/10 Fair

No hot water. Otherwise room was adequate and seemed very clean. More like a hostel than a hotel. Well sited.
Stephen, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bedbugs everywhere (yes we have photos) - forced to leave early into multi-day stay. Staff non-existent. Management unresponsive to email, phone, and Expedia. Bedbugs so bad that it required visit to doctor, prescription steroids, destruction of some luggage, enormous cleaning expense. No refund.
Jennifer, 11-night trip

6/10 Good

Basic but Comfortable
Ideal for a one- nighter, comfortable but basic. Let down by difficulty in communication! Their idea of 24 hour reception is going outside and ringing the doorbell to get attention! Their phone number on the website is invalid and they don't respond to messages via the website either so that was frustrating when I was trying to ensure that I could leave my bag prior to check-in
Terry, 1-night trip

Awful!
This is not a hotel just a series of rooms

Pay less get less
The entire building is very tired, the carpets were threadbare, the floor boards creaked and the windows didn't shut properly. On the positive side, the wifi worked well and it was very convenient for restaurants and transport links.
M, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is a conveniently located absolute dump. Trashy in all respects. Last renovated in the 70s it is used furniture from a bad yard sale.
JOHN, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

pretty poor standard for that prize, no service, very basic and narrow
Roland, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was not what it appeared to be in photos, and there was a bad odor that was helped by opening the window and blowing the fan. Toilet seat was broken and the overhead light failed to illuminate at times.
Martha, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

The staff are terrible poor customer services
Idowu olorunseun, 9-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bed bugs
That's not a 3 star hotel. Zero stars.... the room was soooo small not like in the pictures In room number 6 I've been bitten by some bed bugs. The hotel is not recommended guys. Try to avoid it and dont try to save some money
Minh Cuong, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Location excellent. Attractive area, lots of shops, cafes, restaurants. V central and tube station next door. Hotel rather run down and dated, although clean. Room small and basic but fine for me. Be aware that the en suite only has a sink and shower, no loo. I knew this before booking but had expected the toilet to be just down the corridor. It was TWO floors down from my room. Also, the window did little to block out the street noise.
Carol, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Writing this review with a heavy heart. We were previous occupants at this hotel back in 2022 and had an amazing experience. Now visiting again in 2024 it was a more than disappointing experience. The staff was invisible after ringing the bell multiple times for maintenance. We stayed 5 nights with no maid service in sight, after requesting new towels, sheets, etc. Toilet was out of order for our room and weren’t offered any accommodations. Staff said they’d have a plumber come out and fix it the following day… no plumber came! Cleanliness of our room was poor. Hair was everywhere in the bathroom, on the floor, sink, shower… even in the bed! Bathroom smelled of mold and mildew. The only redeeming factor was the location of this place. Right next to the tube and near many food options/ attractions. For the price, you get what you get.
