Ana, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very effective staff at both the College and Hotel

I have recent knee injuries so the climb up to my original room at the 4th floor of the Hotel was a struggle. But the magnificent Hotel reservations team managed to get me a single room at the College with attached bath at very short notice, intelligently moving the younger and fitter student to the attic room I had at the Hotel. The Hotel reservations staff member was called Zahari. I promised to make a personal statement of gratitude to him for his exemplary service standards and initiative to solve the problem I had. I also want to thank the front desk personnel at the Hotel for their very sensitive and kind attention to me during my stay and helping me move over to the College. The staff at the College were equally courteous and understanding. For the location, price and convenience for someone on a work trip and not needing a TV or other luxuries, I would recommend the College for a great and comfortable work trip.
Randolph, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Awful Stay

If there’s only one review you read, make it this one. Our accommodation was awful. They stuck us in a basement 5 minutes from where we checked in. The room was old, musty, had obvious water damage, and pest control units in the bathroom. We had booked a private double suite, and it was disgusting. Do not book here.

10/10 Exceptional

quiet neighbourhood in a central location

The hotel is located in the centre of London, within short walking distance from Russell Square and Holborn Tube stations or Kings Cross/ St. Pancrass railway station. Despite this, the surrounding area is very quiet which is because it's just next to Mecklenburgh Square Garden. Check-in was easily done, the room was clean and equipped with everything needed for a short stay and everything worked well. I can recommend this accommodation.

Would stay again.

This space is basic but clean and comfortable. Bed comfortable as well.

University accommodation at hotel standards but at university prices. Lovely grounds in a vibrant area and close to tube / bus routes. My new go-to place for London vacations.

Great spot to stay if you are on your own. You are only a 10-15minute walk to a train station and a lovely area to walk around

Bronte, 3-night trip

I love the quiet area and view of the park and autumn leaves opposite. There is nothing to dislike, such a peaceful place for central London! So nice not to hear traffic noise all night!
Dorothy, 1-night trip

Great room and good value

Lovely room, and great value. Room was very quiet with a wonderful view of the quad.

10/10 Exceptional

The price is very competitive to be London. It is a student dormitory, but of that is good enough for you (which it was for me) then it is a great place.

Pleasant accommodation situated on a square in a quiet area with a park across the road. Good breakfast and dinner at a reasonable price. Tube less than 10mins walk.

8/10 Very good

Great place for an overnight stay in the capital close to Kings Cross. Very reasonable price and ideal for short stay. Communal bathrooms won’t suit everyone but they were very clean. Will certainly be back! Beautiful college and nice safe location.
