This hotel was perfect for our needs. It had 2 beds and an open concept which made it easy to store luggage. It is centrally located in the city and very close to the Piccadilly line which made getting to and from the airport easy. There are also plenty of restaurants and grocery stores around if you need a bite after traveling all day. Great spot. Would stay again.

We have stayed at the City Sleeper or its alter ego Royal National biannually for over 20 years. A clean place to lay your head with an excellent helpful staff makes it a wonderful place. A short distance from the Russell Square stop and only 2 blocks from a Waitrose (rumor has it that it may close for recursing) with shopping center with goo, numerous places to eat makes it even better

It was a good hotel. Rooms are decent size. Clean and well maintained. However, I feel that I could have chosen a better neighborhood. It wads more like a city than the European feel that I was hoping for.

Clean, modern hotel that is very well located for being a tourist at British Museum or getting the Eurostar train. Walkable to West End. Impressive breakfast buffet. Main complaint is hard not to get water on floor when using shower. We stayed in lovely Spring weather - not sure if there is A/C in summer as we did not need it.

Lots of things are really good about this hotel and it could really blow Travel Lodge and PI out of the water. Better facilities, bigger rooms, cheaper and massively comfortable beds. However, this place has one fatal flaw, (apart from no heating)it hasn’t got soft close doors so all you hear and feel, all night is banging and crashing.
