Quiet and comfortable beds. Overall it was clean but found someone else’s sock under 1 bed. Only downside for us was the lack of outlets near the beds for CPAP machine and for charging phones/watches. We move beds around to it work though. Overall a decent property though and staff are great!

Good Hotel for Eurostar access
We booked 1 night intransit from Lindon to France. The hotel was good, no real issues. However, our family of 4 is pretty big, I am 6'1" and the shortest is 5'7". The beds are a little small for us as they are doubles, not queens. On the positive side, it is 1/2 block from the tube station and if you wanted to, a 10 minute walk to the Kings Cross & St. Pancras stations. There is a 24 hour mini-mart on the corner and the neighbourhood is lively.

Pleasant staff and clean room. Area not nice, bins overflowing, staff outside the back doors, smoking. Hotel badly in need of a refurbishment. Bathroom clean, but sink cracked, toilet seat broken. Furniture in bedroom chipped, stained and damaged. TV didn’t work. Very fortunate that the staff were nice and the room was clean, otherwise it would only be one ⭐️.

Average Holiday Inn
This Holiday Inn was very average, but at a premium price. We experienced complications with the purchased breakfast for all guests as Hotels.com and Holiday Inn define "child" differently and this resulted in the hotel adding additional charges. I was very disappointed that the hotel didn't handle this differently, as I completed all fields and indicated the age of the child (14 years) at the time of booking. My niece most certainly did not eat £20 worth of food for breakfast.

Tired and cramped!
From the photos, some rooms may have been renovated but the room we stayed in was old fashioned, tired, with poor lighting! The bed felt like a small double but despite this, the room was so cramped! No USB points, the coffee was disgusting and the selection on the hospitaliy tray was basic. The toiletries were lovely but dispensor bottles hardly worked and the shower gel felt watered down. Linen was crisp and laundered well and the room felt well cleaned.

The staff at this hotel make the difference! Morning and evening staff at reception are friendly and eager to help with questions. Chamber maids quickly respond to requests. Don’t miss the morning breakfast! Location is convenient with only a short walk to Russell Square Station. I have stayed here twice and will be back in October. It’s easy to be loyal to this property!

Bloomsbury is within a block of the Russell Square tube and was clean and well worth upgrading to a executive room. An incredible breakfast was included and a great way to start off the day of touring. All the staff beginning with check in, bar, housekeeping and concierge went out of their way to make our week enjoyable!
