"Large central hotel just off Russel Square, modern square rooms, offering large double / kingsize beds and ensuite with walk-in shower, clean and tidy mid morning check-out, opperating across 6 floors, with large underground car park, resonably priced for London but within "Congestion" zone area (drivers be warned). Easy access to central London via underground, two minute walk from the lobby, directly on the Picadilly line. Coffee shop, bar and convienence store on sight, plethora of resturants and shops around. Will stay again if rooms reasonably priced when booking,"
