Very good stay

the hotel is very clean, small - only 17 rooms, located at a calm area, good facilities, including a mini kitchen in the room, room very comfortable.

I was with my family, including a baby, and it was a very pleasant stay. Very close to the British museum, 5 minutes walk to the tube station, walking distance to the Oxford street and Covent Garden region

Great small hotel, great location

location can’t be beat! Quiet, cute, townhouse street, one block from Russell Square. Small hotel with character. We had a very nice, newly furnished room with a kitchenette. Large by London standards. Marble bath with tub/shower. HDTV. Ask for a room on the upper floors for better ventilation. NO AC. Relatively cheap parking is within one block. Location has a residential feel but is one block from shops and restaurants around Russell Square. British Museum is around the corner. Covent Garden and the Strand are an easy 5-10 minute walk.

Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay

Breakfast in the hotel is very expensive and hard to get a table in the very small breakfast room. Try the restaurants in the area- lots of great cafes in the Brunswick Center across from the Russell Square tub stop.
