It also happened to be absolutely freezing at night, like the window was wide open, even when it wasn’t.

The room had no air conditioning, which means that you will be sweating after you just took a shower.

No air conditioning or fan, no bathroom ventilation, no safe in the room.

The hotel has no air-conditioning in rooms and it was 33 degrees in London.

but ok. Room unfortunately had little ventilation so was ridiculously hot.

The bed is a bit small, and the mattress needs replacing.. No AC, and no fan in the room, so it was window open, luckily it faced out onto the internal courtyard so was relatively quiet.

Note that the rooms have a key that you have to leave in the slot inside the door of your room in order to keep the lights on and the fan going.

but again in the UK where do you normally get air conditioning?

The room we got was very basic, no air conditioning (but the desk did give us a fan upon request), only 1 plug socket in the room which was positioned behind the TV - so without an extension we had to choose between charging devices, using the kettle, using the fan, and using the TV.

A mini bar/fridge in the room and a fan would have been welcomed.

Rooms in desperate need of refurbishment as well as newer hair dryers, more plug sockets, and air conditioning or a fan.

Additionally, the room was too hot, there was no air/con or fan.

There is no AC, we had to sleep with open windows and- ear plugs as our room was facing the centered court and it was noisy there until late and from early in the morning.

He putting me on a wait list for one of their small poor functioning fans

Only 2 plugs in the room, so we had to decide whether our phones were getting charged overnight or we were boiling to death without the fan.

Unfortunately the hotel does not have aircondition and we stayed there during af heatwave so the roome was very hot, so there is room for improvement here.

However we were given a fan within ten minutes of asking.

but unfortunately without air conditioning.

Vishaal on reception is helpful and welcoming, the team in the breakfast room couldn’t be more friendly.

Breakfast wasn’t included and on arriving at the breakfast room we was told to buy a voucher at the reception, on enquiring at the reception we was told something completely different so gave up and sourced a local eatery and had an excellent breakfast.

Shame, because location, price, room and breakfast was ok ….

The breakfast room had a complete makeover and I was very impressed with the waiter /waitress staff who were very polite and courteous and directed me to a table and placed a reserved sign on it.

Online booking was discussed with staff (Gosia and Edita) from the breakfast room and reception.

A cleaner had started to clear our room while we were at breakfast (830am) when we hadn’t checked out and had our personal belongings still in the room.

we stayed as a group of 39 people and the rooms were okay and the buffet breakfast was acceptable.

Run efficiently and breakfast room was so well organised considering how large the hotel was.

Another advantage this room puts you in a much quieter breakfast room, the other was very busy.

Nothing is too much trouble especially the staff in the breakfast room and dining room.

This is much better than using the normal breakfast rooms.

We had ordered English breakfast and were directed to the bar where we found a beautifully laid out breakfast room with very nice and efficient staff.

There are two breakfast rooms and mine was the bar one where the fry up was included in the price.

The staff in the breakfast room are so polite and helpful and supplied anything I asked for  quickly and with good humour.

The breakfast room can't cope and there were queues every morning out the door.

This was supposed to be the 'best' dining room and the breakfast was very good

We had breakfast in the meeting room which was nicer than the other breakfast room.

The hotel holds breakfasts in two different rooms -i think that it all depends on the type of booking.

The breakfast had a good selection and was upgraded to use the meeting room restaurant, which wasn't so busy as the other breakfast room.

👌 
Close to some mini market store, very close to bus station.

The hotel had a fantastic location, the tube station, and bus station are right next day and Oxford street is less than a 10-minute work.

Location is very, very good, near the underground and bus station.

Its not a bas hotel at all , either it has a very good strategic location and near a bus station .

However the hotel is situated in the Euston District so is close to tube station and bus station.

Russel Square Tube Station was 1 minute walk from there (really convenient), the bus station was just outside the hotel, there was a mini-market within range.

We were there for the first time.Staff is really nice and they do everithing to make you feel welcomed.Hotel is near  everithing.It is clean,nice staff -I racomend it to everyone.Underground is near,bus station also.You want be lost.The foof that they serve for breakfast is good.If You pay 5 £ on breakfast you can try their originally english brekfast.

The bar downstairs was a bit noisy at night if you are an early sleeper.

Firstly, the hotel is huge and has its own bars and restaurants outside, so it is noisy all night.

but the noise (room 3086) City Sleeper side! It seemed like the window wouldn’t close tightly and the street noise was bothersome ( they need to fix that!)

On Saturday morning we were rudely woken up with the sound of drilling, hammering as if the walls were caving in.

Hotel was average incredibly noisy from the construction work and buses idling 24/7 outside, breakfast was middling

The main issue is the noise level from the street.

There was a really loud and consistent drilling from around 8am the following morning which sounded like construction work.

We had to have the windows open, our room overlooked the main street so traffic noise was ever-present (although after a while it became like white noise)

After checking in you head up to your room, exiting the lift you are faced with a huge long corridor, ours was definitely showing signs of wear and tear.

You may feel vehicular noise during night.

You could hear everyone who checked in and out of the hotel.

but then all the street noises kept us awake.

The bed is on wheels and creaks, so if you turn over it makes a loud noise and you end up rolling further down the room.

We had room facing the Woburn Place street, so it was pretty noisy, especially if it is hot and you need to keep your window open.

I was finally the moved to another room - 2 hrs from arrival to getting an acceptable room (but the room is still really noisy & no air-con,

Very hot in the room, no air conditioning Overlooked a very noisy courtyard of a pub/bar which was noisy until gone midnight with drinkers.

The only thing we didn’t like is a restaurant downstairs that  was noisy part of the night.

Comfortable hotel in a lively area close to Russell Square and Univ of London/SOAS.

Is huge and well placed 150 m from Russell Square tube station.

As expected, the location was great, near the Russell Square tube station and a few blocks from the British Museum.

The hotel has a great location in central London and an excellent connection to Heathrow airport via Tube  (just a few minute's walk from Russell Square tube station, where you can take the Piccadilly line to Heathrow Terminals) and these were the most important factors when I was choosing a hotel.

Great location and very close to Russell Square tube station

Hotel location is excellent, only a 6 minute walk from Euston where we’d traveled from and only 2 minutes to Russell Square tube.

Location is perfect, 10 minutes walk to st pancreas/kings cross, 5 to Euston, few minutes to Russell Square tube.

I stayed at this hotel 4 years ago in the North Tower and chose it again for it's great location at Russell Square - a direct tube ride from Heathrow on the Piccadilly Line.

Other than than, a lovely hotel with very close tube station- Russell Square.

The bus stop is outside or just round the corner at Russell Square.

The location is good, 5 minute walk to Russell Square Tube Station, there's the 'London Pub' next to the Hotel (more a bar than a pub).

Two good breakfasts at caffe tropea in Russell Square  and Riding House Bloomsbury which is in the nearby Brunswick Centre.

Ideally located central hotel close to Russell Square tube station.

but great location - right next to Russell Square tube stop and small
Mall with grocery, Boots and small shops.

Location is brilliant, 15 minute walk takes you to Oxford Street, 3 minute walk from Russell Square station.

The hotel is a 3 minute walk from Russell Square Station, so very easy to get to and also access areas such as Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Hyde Park and all the other areas that have tourist attractions.

Close to Russell Square Tube, 5 minute walk, on a bus route.

Location was really great, only 5 minutes to Russell Square tube station (Picadilly line) direct to the SOHO area with few stops.

The nearest tube stations were Russell Square which was a 3 minute walk or Euston.

It is walking distance from Euston Station, just round the corner from Russell Square underground and walking distance to much of central London.

Vishaal at the front desk was extremely helpful and is great ambassador for City Sleeper.

Breakfast in The City Sleeper Restaurant was more than plentiful.

I have spent 3 weeks at The City Sleeper and my stay has been excellent.

Firstly this place is two separate Hotels masquerading as one, the nice pictures they post are 'City Sleeper' because the room you actually get at 'Royal National' is very different from the top pictures.

One plus to the room- we were in the city sleeper which was nice to have a dedicated are with only residents allowed in.

This was our 2nd stay in the City Sleeper and I must say, it's worth the money.

So many positives about the City Sleeper.

As a family trip we stayed in the city sleeper rooms which where located in the hotel

Stayed in city sleeper
Nice room for the price we paid
But bathroom very small
No air con fairly good location
Very busy when booking in
Lot of building works going on opposite the hotel
Overall happy with our stay

We had a city sleeper room which was spotless and comfortable.

I stayed in the "city sleeper" area and it was, of all the times I stayed at this hotel, the best!

Fortunately a single sleeper room was available.

After reading reviews, we've booked City Sleeper rooms and they are modern an clean.

though we were about an hour early, they rapidly checked us in and gave us a complimentary upgrade to a City Sleeper room.

Close to the British museum and a wonderful park (which I can’t remember its name).

It's well located - very close to the British Museum and walking distance to Oxford Circus.

A quick walk to the British Museum and other touristy things.

This hotel was a fantastic location just minutes from the tube stop with lots of restaurants in the area and very close to the British Museum.

A big hotel conveniently located near Russell Sq, close to Euston Station, UCL and the British Museum.

The hotel is 10 minutes walking distance from the British museum and close by to the theatres ( we watched Cinderella)and Euston station .

Location couldn't be better, tube stop close by and round the corner from The British Museum.

I always say near Russel Square as it is very convenient to reach central London (and the British Museum) and Euston and King's Cross stations (easy access to my family's homes).

Close to the British Museum and lots of other sites in Central London.

The location is very convenient for Euston Station, Russell Square and the British Museum, and Russell Square Tube Station is 5 minutes walk or less.

We stay in London a few times a year and always stay in this hotel or the Tavistock next door owned by the same company as they are great value and also within walking distance of King's Cross and the British Museum,

Located close to Euston and Russel Square stations and the British museum, which is why it got 2 stars and not 1.

The hotel was close to transportation, the British Museum, and if you're up for a walk, you can get to several attractions.

Selling points: value for money (very avg buffet breakfast included), close to tub station and the British museum.

Various museums, including the British Museum, are located close nearby.

This is so close to everything (especially the British Museum) and the Russell Square Tube station.

In the evening the parties go on til the early hours, even with the windows closed and the tv on loud it doesn’t drown the sound of the party goers out.

The windows are old and didnt close properly, it doesnt matter in summer

This was a little too loud as we had our five year old and did wake me up ass our window was open and we were unable to close it as it would have been too warm in the room.

We had to keep the window open at night to get it a wee bit less hot,

No possibility to open the window for getting fresh air from the outside during the night.

but the windows were so BAD that it sounded like it was fully open all night!!

The window, which could only be opened a crack, was unfortunately not able to keep the noise out even when closed.

Closing the window made the temp immediately go up.

but with no air con and having to open the window it was very noisy, some of our friends did have quieter rooms so it’s luck of the draw.

No air conditioning, the window hardly opened, the shower drain was very slow and the shower filled with water, the room lacked decor.

on main road windows and walls paper thin no chance of sleep luckily we had brought earplugs.

Stayed here with my son for two nights, room was small, no air con, and the window barely opened, bathroom tiny,

There's no air con in the room so needed the window open,

Royal National Hotel

quietness

window

russell-square

sleeper

breakfast room

The aircon was powerful which was fantastic as our room was a ground floor room backing onto a loud fan so the windows were shut.

Bathroom window was fixed, no working fan.

Heating panel broken and no room exchange offered.

heating wasn't on when we got there and took nearly 2 hours to warm the room.

The paintwork was grubby and tired and the fixtures and fittings in need of upgrading with the wooden shelving unit and side table in poor condition.

The main issue we had was with a very cold room where the ac heating didn’t work well and was noisy.

Had an issue with a damp / musty smell in the room and a noisy air con / heating unit.

The only thing was the bathroom did get very steamed up after a shower as no extractor fan.

.please see photo attached, room 421 very noisy woken up at 6am with constant machinery possibly air conditioning in other rooms, very dark room please see view out window in photo attached, also the shower which took 5-10 mins to heat up then reached a temp so hot and you could not turn the temperature down.

We were given room 115 and the view from the room was terrible, and the aircon was poor, we had a meal in the bar just once and that was not very nice we complained

The only negative is the sporadically humming from the air conditioning unit, they did offer to move us to a new room

The only thing missing was a mini fridge in the room, it was incredibly hot the days we stayed (air con was a blessing) and a fridge would have been a good send!!

Slightly annoying buzz from heating overnight (room 503)

but cold,  so there was a electric heater provided which helped.

Everything seems to be going to 'Happen in the future'
I notice other 'good reviews' and would guess it depends on were you stay in the hotel.Get the idea that only part of the hotel has been renovated .Looks like there is a good part and the other part(cold room , condensation and dodgy irons).Don't tend to do negative reviews(mainly I research well and pick good options)

Bus station just in front of the hotel and underground station at 10 min. walk.

We needed to go to Victoria for one night at Apollo Theatre and the No 38 bus was right outside door, 20 mins and a fab ride through the Christmas lights plus bus station right next to theatres so was quick ride back.

Very good location for walking to Covent Garden, etc and if you don’t want to then there is a bus station just outside.

The room was spotless and very quiet, the beds were so comfortable.

Great location, comfortable beds, professional and courteous staff, and good breakfast.

Flat-TV could be connected to my own Youtube-Account and the bed was really comfortable.

Our room was a good size with everything you could need - iron and ironing board, soap/shampoo provided in bathroom, tea making facilities, very comfy bed and good size tv plus wardrobe, arm chairs etc.

Rooms had everything we needed and the beds were really comfortable.

British Museum around the corner and Covent Garden within walking distance.

I took my sister to London for her 60th birthday and wanted a hotel in walking distance to Covent garden.

Trafalgar Square is close, Covent Garden is close, the theatres are close.

Good location and close to Covent Garden.

Hotel is in a very good location, close to Covent Garden, Oxford St and theatres.

Close to Covent Garden, Leister Square, Trafalgar ect.

Easy walking distance to Covent Garden and numerous theatres.

I have stayed in this hotel twice, mainly because of its terrific location, within easy walking distance of Covent Garden and West End theatres plus being just around the corner from the British Museum.

Ideal location, walking distance to Covent Garden and near to tube stations.

Amazing location in Holborn, only 2 blocks from the British Museum, easy walking distance to Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus, Tottenham Court Road, shopping and theatre.

located very centrally close to covent garden west end and soho  and theatre land - great breakfast and good value super comfy bed - nice bar modern feel in an old building overall  great hotel location and service.

The hotel is reasonably priced for the centre of London, very close to Covent Garden, Holborn underground and the British Museum.

A good hotel very close to Covent Garden and no more than a 20 minute walk from the very centre of London.Room was clean and comfortable and while not quite ready at check in a complimentary drink in the bar helped.Great breakfast for a very reasonable price.A well recommended hotel.

The hotel is centrally located as it is walking distance to the Covent Garden shopping center, trendy soho neighborhood, a number of clothing stores such as Zara and Primark on Oxford street, Holborn underground subway station and many busses (about a 7-10 minute walk!)

The hotel is very close to Covent Garden, Oxford street, China town and 2 Underground stations which is very convinient.

The location is great, walkable to Covent Garden.

The hotel is well situated for the British Museum, bus stops directly outside, within walking distance of Covent Garden.

The hotel was in a perfect location, within walking distance of Covent Garden and lots of other landmarks and places.

A superb location, just minutes from Oxford Street, local theatres, China Town and within a short walking distance of Covent Garden.

The hotel is located in a more quiet area, yet in walking distance from Covent Garden, the British Museum, all West End theatres and many restaurants and bars close by.

Excellent service from a super friendly Rafael who managed to give us a room well before the normal access time, to propose an upgrade, to suggest an excellent place for lunch and to give us a feeling of being really welcome.

We booked a three course meal via  Groupon and Maurizio was so helpful with the menu and booking before we arrived, very quick and friendly replies.

Staff are friendly and helpful, dealing with any small issues quickly.

Location is great and the service was excellent, staff were very friendly and helpful, answering any questions i had about the area.

Staff were all really friendly and helpful.

Very convenient to transit (Holborn and Tottenham Court tube stops), a nice neighborhood, clean, and very friendly and helpful staff, especially Raul and Diego at the others at the front desk.

Friendly staff, breakfast good selection.

Central location, spacious rooms and friendly staff.

Very friendly, very helpful, always smiling and doing their absolute most to make visitors feel wellcome and to have a nice day.

but the staff was also genuinely friendly and caring, kudos to Agata for that.

The staff were friendly - two in particular, the receptionist who checked us in (can’t remember his name unfortunately) and Claudia who checked us out.

The service we received was very good and Maurizio and Cintia were very friendly and helpful.

It is a very nicely decorated reaturant with very friendly waiters, like Maurizio!

Mauricio was amazing, he was so friendly and professional throughout our dinner yesterday evening, he made sure if we need anything by checking on us, and gave me chocolate truffle at the end it was my first and best experience.

Return visit to this hotel, excellent hotel great breakfast,  very friendly staff, great location for exploring London  either on foot or by tube or bus.

The stuff was friendly and welcoming, room comfortable (we just missed the window to open), breakfast rich and tasty.

But room was still a bit small, so apparently we misread the pics we saw prior to booking.

The hotel itself is a bit scruffy, room very small (DeLuxe) and the breakfast - well, not to our liking since the bacon was not bacon

When we arrived at the hotel we received very small rooms which did not match our expectations.
