Room was very, very clean and quiet at night. Breakfast buffet has a good selection but very crowded.. There is no sitting area or business space in the lobby so nowhere to do any work..

Great location. We were able to walk to main attractions within 25 minutes. Room was rather basic.

Check in was extremely busy, took around 40mins, more desks open would have been useful. A staff member was rude to my children for having a seat on the ground during this time, they were watching something on my phone, not bothering anyone. If they don’t want kids sitting around they should speed up their check in process… Also, bring earplugs, the windows of the rooms are single glazed in a very noisy area of central London. Despite this, we would stay again, the location and the room itself is ideal, modern and clean and good value for money.

Information about the area

London, United Kingdom

With a stay at Royal National Hotel, you'll be centrally located in London, steps from Russell Square and 9 minutes by foot from The British Museum. This eco-certified hotel is 0.5 mi (0.8 km) from Tottenham Court Road and 1.1 mi (1.8 km) from Leicester Square.

Of all European capitals, London lives deepest in the imagination of travelers. We absorb London before we know it exists and when we finally approach the city, it does not disappoint. There are the red double-deckers, the bobbies and impassive guards at Buckingham, Westminster Abbey, and the notes of Big Ben, sounding familiar, as we have heard them before. We see these things with satisfaction. Yet there is much to surprise. London is not quaint. London is not a museum, though you could spend all of your time going from one to the next. It is a booming, urban sprawl, with traffic snarls, shops, and an astonishing international population. Visit the many monuments with nearly a millennium's worth of history, from the grave of Chaucer to the pub where the captain of the Mayflower drank to Piccadilly Circus, one of London’s most photographed sights. But don’t miss contemporary London, with its intensely active theatres, international cuisine, political demonstrations, the latest in music and fashion, punks and peers, and everyone in between. In 1777, writer Samuel Johnson said when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, and the phrase is still true. There's something different to experience every day in London.
