London hotels near Russell Square

Pros: Spectacular in every way

Cons: Not being able to stay longer

Pros: Great location, very grand, good staff

Cons: Pricey and a little dated

Pros: despite being over motor court, room was very quiet, everything was well designed, staff was extremely helpful, bathroom was tremendous, restaurant was great. Very little (if anything) to actually complain about. Top-notch.

Cons: gym facilities were modest as was pool, but not a terribly big deal as most hotel gyms have a limited offer.

Pros: very luxurious hotel in a good location of London. definately would go back to the hotel at my next visit.

Cons: not much..

Pros: The Executive Suite was comfortable and beautiful decor. We stayed here for 2 nights with late checkout. Lounge access was nice, lots of choice (food/drink) Staff were friendly and helpful

Cons: .

Pros: The location was the best part of this hotel. It was close enough to all attractions.

Pros: The atmosphere of this hotel is so good. I like most the oxbo restaurant and the distillery cafe!

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: The perfect location, beautiful communal areas and friendly efficient staff

Cons: We had an accessible room which was right next to the lift and had no bath. But we didn't ask to be moved which we probably should have in hindsight

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nope

Pros: The design/space/bathroom/colour scheme was all superb

Cons: My partner said she needed better lighting and mirror on the table to do her makeup

Pros: Bed was really comfortable and hotel was maintained to a good standard.

Cons: Firstly, we called the hotel before booking to ask if pool, sauna and steam room were available for paying guests. After first being unsure they confirmed uncertainly that this was the case. We booked and then found out there was no sauna or steam room (the whole reason for our stay). At reception upon arriving, Ana was again uncertain about different aspects of the stay. She also entered my card and inputted an extra £50 without having the courtesy to explain that this was for a deposit (have no problem paying a deposit but it’s good service to be explained why before taking the money). For breakfast in the morning we were shown the table without being told to follow. The breakfast we were sat and then realised to have food from the restaurant itself it was all extras. Upon leaving the restaurant we said bye and thanks and the front of house completely blanked us. We got back to the room and called about a late checkout (1pm complimentary and 2pm if the hotel was quiet). The concierge staff had already confirmed it was quiet so 2pm was likely. On the phone this was another opportunity to try and get add ons - it was only after some debate that we got 2pm for free (we were pushed and pushed for £20 even though the hotel was ‘quiet’). Upon checking out, after already been charged £219 for the room and £50 deposit (went straight out of my account on monzo) we had another member of staff at reception attempt to take £219 again. I am certain that getting the £50 deposit back will also be hassle. All in all, it felt like all staff were untrained and unsure and the vibe of the hotel was to try and get as much money from add ons as possible.

Pros: Chic hotel. Sparkling wine upon arrival. Very comfortable beds. Nice bar. Mostly friendly staff. Nice toiletries supplied as well as daily water bottles.

Cons: Check-in and check-out took way too long. Upon check-in they wanted to charge us way too much and it took quite a while to sort things out. When we went to our rooms we were assured the issue was solved. However, upon check-out, they wanted again to charge us (there were 3 rooms in our booking) the wrong amount and it took over 1/2 an hour to resolve the issue. One of the counter staff repeatedly coughed without any attempt at covering her mouth which caused us some distress considering the covid 19 status. Missed an in the room tea and coffee making facilities and a ice machine in the hallways. Complicated wi fi system, only worked for one of the three days we stayed. Seemed they were trying to charge for wi fi which is in 2020 assumed a standard in a 5 star hotel.

Pros: Everything was great. This will be our hotel for future London stays. Excellent staff.

Cons: Tvs broken Wifi terrible

Pros: The friendly and helpful staff were extremely welcoming. I don't normally stay at such nice hotels and felt a little awkward, but they were unpretentious and lovely from the moment we walked up.

Cons: I felt silly but the lights in the room were very confusing. Hard to figure out how to only have one light on at a time.

Pros: Great experience for Christmas 2018 stay while visiting family in London. Will definitely stay again.

Pros: Great location / very snazzy set up / very welcoming staff.

Cons: The bar prices in the roof top bar were extortionate.

Cons: Hotel was awful, lousy room service, the fire alarm went off, the food was not great, and the amenities were not great. way overpriced for what it is.

Pros: I wanted to express our gratitude for the delivery of a microwave to the room. My partner has celiac disease and it was very difficult to find food that was free from cross contamination-- just being able to have hot meals was wonderful. Thank you!

Pros: Location was close to the Tate Modern.

Pros: The location and the accommodations that the staff made.

Pros: Probably the best value for money hotel in all of London! Decor is fantastic and very modern. Staff are also amazing.

Cons: Check in times are weird but I think that applies to most hotels.

Pros: Friendly Staff, clean and comfortable room. Excellent location, even if not close to a tube station.

Cons: Nothing, it was all good. However, the Coronavirus did prevent a few of our planned activities, such as an evening at the Theatre.

Pros: Good attitude from the staff at the reception

Cons: Noise during the night on the hall, where drunk guests from other rooms were too noisy and making a mess (eg left garbage and McDonalds leftovers on the floor).

Pros: Beautifully decorated and could not have been cleaner. The bed was very comfortable and they had thought of the extra comforts that make a hotel stay pleasant. The view was fantastic!

Cons: It is a lot of money and the breakfast was just ok. The bar and the restaurant are expensive for what they are. I’d recommend eating out of the hotel. There are loads of great places in the area.

Pros: The view was amazing.

Cons: Price for breakfast buffet was ridiculously overpriced. Was charged over 20 for a scoop of eggs and some bacon. And it wasn't that good.

Pros: Every single member of staff was so kind and helpful and made our stay feel special. We were delighted to find out upon arrival that we had been upgraded and they also brought a bottle of Prosecco to our room due to it being my partners 30th birthday

Cons: I suppose its not completely central but only a 10 minute walk to the closest station

Pros: Location, ambience, all food places within hotel excellent

Cons: No loved it all

Pros: Nothing too much trouble for us. Our baby was given a travel cot after I requested one.. with a free crowned plaza teddy bear & a lovely Winnie the Pooh duvet to use - so very kind. The 2 x double beds were great for us to enjoy a great nights sleep. Francisco the concierge was very kind to order a taxi for us. Val to the train station,

Pros: Location was ideal, room was nice, bed was nice.

Cons: Didn't have milk replaced next morning, called reception it was engaged. Didn't make another attempt.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Breakfast was great. the staff were really friendly. restaurant was nice and bright. The place smelled great when you walked in. lots of free products in room in case you forgot anything.

Cons: our tv didn't work

Pros: The location of the hotel was very convenient to travel around London. All the staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful and our room was spotlessly clean and well replenished with biscuits, chocolates and bathroom toiletries.

Cons: There were no grab rails on the walls in the bathroom at the end of the bath so it made it very difficult to climb in and out of the bath to have a shower when you have arthritis and 2 knee replacements like my daughter has. Only other dislike is there is a limited choice of eating in the restaurants when you have dietary requirements like Gluten/Wheat free.

Pros: Location is superb, right across blackfriars tube and walking distance to numerous attractions. Lovely breakfast, welcoming staff, clean and classy. Highly recommended.

Cons: Internet speed for ihg members is appalling, reminded me the early internet days. No good. Switching to the high speed requires technicians, couldn't be bothered. Did my surfing via my mobile as hotspot instead.

Cons: TV did not work and staff were unable to fix it. Complementary bathroom boxes were empty.

Cons: The television did not work anywhere in the hotel. Whilst I was told they had a problem, the hotel seemed unable to sort it out.

Pros: Incredible hotel....great location and exceptional customer service...cigar bar on premises....very nice

Cons: Hotel needs 120v plugs in bathroom...

Pros: Super friendly and helpful staff. I accidentally booked my room wrong and didn’t have an extra bed for my son in the room but they upgraded my room with no extra charge. Also food is amazing there.

Pros: Room was well appointed. Bed was comfortable.

Cons: I arrived very tired with sore feet after a day of work in the City which began straight from an overseas flight. I was given a room key that did not open my room, not because it became demagnetized, but because they gave me a key for a new type of lock while my room did not yet have the new lock installed. I went back down to the desk with all my luggage to have the room key re-issued. They proceeded to re-issue me with a second nonfunctioning key which I discovered after dragging everything back up to my room. At this point I did not to go down a second time, but called to have somebody come up and let me in my room. I was not thrilled. At the end of a very long and tiring day spending 20 to 30 minutes to get into your room is really not acceptable. Had someone called to apologize or send up a small drink or something I would have appreciated it.

Pros: Gorgeous comfy bed & pillows....delicious breakfast although don't expect a quiet breakfast, the restaurant /hotel feels like a local meet up /venue, loud music etc, it's v buzzy.... in a good way! I liked the comp water in the fridge too

Cons: Lighting in rooms v dark and only the shower had toiletries, which felt a little basic given the room rate and overall pitch of the hotel....eg no shower caps or cotton wool....essentials!

Pros: style and vibe of the hotel. very london like and relaxed

Cons: rooms are very small

Pros: Takeaway breakfast in the morning included in the price a great idea and tasty too. Bed was really comfortable with good bed linen. Decor was so cool and such a great idea to have free fresh milk in the fridge so you could make proper cups of tea and coffee, instead of using UHT milk.

Cons: No scones! I would have loved to have afternoon tea there the restaurant and lounge area was such a busy place to hang out tea and scones would have been good but only had croissants.

Pros: Great room, bar area and good breakfast.

Cons: Opposite our room some work was being done so it didn't look very nice .

Pros: Everything!!!! such a cool hotel!!!

Cons: The room was small. but so nice!!!

Pros: The location and the Bedroom.

Cons: Too much noise in Receptiom when you just want to come in and chill and have a quiet drink before going to your room No shower cap in the bathroom. The "little map' is TOO little! Cannot read the street names as the print is too small and very faint.
