Excellent stay.

The City Sleeper was great. Beds are very comfortable. The room seemed newly renovated, modernized and were clean. Water pressure in the showers is so awesome! The location is perfect. Quick walking distance to Russell Square Underground (5 mins). Lots on local pubs, restaurants and shops all around. Would definitely stay here again if i was back in London. My only complaint is how little sound proofing there is between rooms and the hall. You could hear neighbours speaking, doors closing and people walking by. If you are a light sleeper, ear plugs are a must.

Always a great stay.

Have stayed at the City Sleeper at Royal National Hotel many times and it's always brilliant. The City Sleeper in an upgrade section of the larger Royal National Hotel. Overall it's a busy hotel but exceptionally well run with first class service. Breakfast at only £12 is amazing. Convent Garden and the Theatres are only a 20 minute walk away. The British Museum is only 5 minutes away. Highly recommended.

A Great Value London Hotel

Excellent location just a short way from Kings Cross. The City Sleeper rooms have a new, fresh, very clean feel, with all usual amenities (shower/hair, tea/coffee etc). Would highly recommend breakfast which was a buffet with a good selection of alternatives. To summarise, an absolutely great value London hotel.

Really easy check in, room clean. We were given a free bottle of wine for our anniversary and bed set up with towel swans and love hearts was a really nice touch. Well located near a station and only a 10-15 minute walk to Oxford Street. Highly recommend, great value for money in London.

A very comfortable stay

Check in efficient and staff pleasant. The bag storage was very useful. The room was clean and comfortable, and the bed was particularly comfy. I have rarely slept as well in a hotel. The only issue was the heating, which was set quite high, and I had windows open all day and night.
