charming stay near russell square
excellent shower coffee facilities
the room was modern, clean, and tidy. i was charmed by the excellent shower, one of the best i have ever used, and the good-sized tv in the room. plenty of hanging space was available (i really appreciated that) and the tea and coffee facilities were very useful.
i stayed during a very hot period and found only one small fan was available. the windows didn't open much, and there was no air conditioning.
Rooms

the room was very well-presented and included complimentary water bottles and biscuits. the standard double room offered all necessary toiletries for my stay. i found an iron and ironing board neatly tucked away for convenient use.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay
street noise small room
The location suited my needs well enough.
My room was quite small. The noise from the street was constant. Thin windows did little to block out the sounds. It reminded me of the pub goers were right outside my window, even late into the night..
