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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Superb value for money, great sized rooms (even had fridges), lovely staff.
My only crticism was my room was over the main entrances so quite loud at night as the window wouldnt shut. I imagine there are many quieter rooms.
Will 100% stay here again.

Great budget option in central London
The room was spacious, modern and clean. The location is very central. Staff were helpful. For the money, I cannot fault it, really a great option for a stay in central London. The breakfast was good, although not included in the price.
