Royal National Hotel

"Great place to stay in London, it’s near from everything, and has taxi’s service all the day long. Also there’s so many bus stops really near the hotel.\nThe room was cleaned everyday. We would have liked to be on a room with the beds attached but well, at least they got wheels to move it. So it was barely great.\nThe breakfast was very varied and it had from sweet to savoury.\nThe unique thing I would point out of everything was the bathroom, really narrow, and the bathtub was too high and it’s really challenging to get in and out. If we would have been older… I would have asked about another room."

"Room furniture and facilities were quite old, main door wasn't closing properly and needed a push and bathroom door wasn't closing properly at all, and we couldn't lock.\nNo ventilation whatsoever and we felt we were boiling the whole night.\n\nRoom window wasn't closing/sealing properly, resulting in wind and noise coming in the room.\n\nWe went back to reception and requested that we move to another room. Receptionist (night shift) was quite rude and he told us that "if this happens to your window, it will most probably happen to other rooms as well" and he then told us that we can't move as the hotel fully booked.\nA member of staff then came to the room only to find out that we indeed tried to lock the window properly. He told us "there's nothing more we can do".\nThe only positive thing about the room was the comfy mattress and pillows.\n\nBreakfast was pretty basic, including full English breakfast, cereal, ham and cheese, and croissants/muffins.\nCoffee was the worst, as it was filtered coffee and they wouldn't offer other options such as cappuccino.\n\nFor the price range of this place, the amenities and services are unacceptable.\n\nI wouldn't recommend this hotel, unless you are only interested in the location which is convenient.\n\nPhotos added for reference."

"A short walk from Russell Square underground station and good value for 3 nights. Room was modern and clean. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided. The issue is the lack of proper ventilation and air conditioning in the building which made it incredibly stuffy and difficult to sleep in some of the warmer weather. A fan is provided but this is noisy as is leaving a window open all night."
