Top Russell Square Hotel Reviews

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"Great and modern hotel property in perfect location for transportation and London night life. Easy access for day excursions"

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

10/10 Excellent

"Rating this as excellent for what it was being a inexpensive pod hotel. Great location in the heart if Soho. Functionally ideal for people who ude a hotel only for sleeping and other essential activities. I woukd have appreciated more soundproofing especially for opening and closing doors"

Radisson Blu Hotel, London Tottenham Court Road

8/10 Good

"The hotel was conveniently located for theatre, trains and shopping. Our only problem was the jackhammering in the room next to ours. We would have liked to be warned that this was going to happen."

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

8/10 Good

"Park Plaza was good, nice rooms, great location. I wouldn't say it was worth what we paid. The check in was incredibly slow with the staff, we were waiting a long time. The room didn't have any nice touches like coffee, water or biscuits. And the spa/swimming pool needed to be booked in advance, and nothing said that was the case online, at booking, check in, or in the in-room information."

The Montague On The Gardens

8/10 Good

"This is a lovely old property in a great location. We had a 'larger' room that slept 3 but it may be large by British standards but it was very small. The bathroom was at the entrance to the room at the top of stairs so everyone woke up of someone needed the bathroom in the evening Good air conditioning was helpful in the humidity A lot of inflexible attitude by staff about where to sit in an empty dining room as they would have to 'reset' the table - which they had to do with the table we were forced to use Food mediocre"

President Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel - great Location Rooms are great but just a typical city hotel very small. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is amazing with a great variety and selection. The underground Station is very close to the hotel. It’s just a few stops away from all major attractions. Highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again when in London."

Holiday Inn London-Bloomsbury Hotel by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I would definitely re book this hotel. Stag were lovely. Food was delicious. Rooms are very nice! Made my whole experience. Super grateful"
