Top Russell Square Hotel Reviews

Royal National Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"."

President Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Just love The President Hotel. Staff are always so good & helpful. Especially with room requests. Been there twice this year (2026) & three times last year. Great location. Will be back again next year."

Point A London Kings Cross - St Pancras

8/10 Good

"Clean room, but very small, smaller than cruise ship's, breakfast was good."

The Hoxton, Holborn

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was SO friendly and genuinely kind. Nothing was too hard and all done with a smile and politeness. Amazing location, top hotel, would consider staying again on my next trip. My son loved it too, it really was the staff that made it."

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Piccadilly and it was a great location! Hotel was clean and staff helpful when needed. The room itself is small but practical, I liked the cocoon style room!"

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

10/10 Excellent

"Cheap, affordable, clean, modern, new place to stay for a few nights in London"

The Imperial

8/10 Good

"A wonderful hotel with a roof top bar/restaurant not far from central London. The food was good. The stand out was the staff who were incredible, they were extremely polite and genuinely enthusiastic."

Bedford Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, nice clean room and friendly staff! Definitely would stay here again."

Goodwood Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel served its purpose, a place to sleep. Check in was easy. We were not able to leave our bags early or after check in as there was no space for that. The building is small and hallways are narrow. There were no fans available and we run hot so we resorted to sleeping with the windows open and even the door, as we were located in the very back and what appeared to be the only unit back there. We felt safe in the area. There was 5-7 minute walk to the local metro station and convenience store next to the hotel. A few restaurant options near hotel as well. They did not automatically clean or room daily or give us new towels. The room was fine, we used it to sleep mainly."
