Royal National Hotel

Location was SO convenient, especially for the price. The room was small but the bed was large and comfortable. Soap smelled great, kettle didn’t work when I got there but was fixed or replaced quickly once I asked about it, and the staff were all very sweet and helpful. It was easy to store my luggage for the afternoon after checkout, and it was all in all a great experience!

Location was perfect, within walking distance of Covent Garden, Carnaby, Oxford street etc., plenty of restaurants, supermarkets around the hotel and easy to find. The rooms was very clean and clearly newly renovated, beds were very comfortable, shower was nice too, enough space in the room. Breakfast was nice and varied although very noisy but that's to be expected with this kind of very big hotel. Coffee is only coffee by name, not taste. The rest was good (English breakfast was fine too). Downsides : - very very very loud at night. Not soundproof at all. The room was situated on the side with the London Pub and the entrance. Even with the window closed, you could hear everything. It is the case in most hotel/hostels in London, soundproof is non-existent in the city. I would suggest bringing earplugs if you hope to get some sleep. - the sink was nice but (a detail, that can become a bit annoying) is that the faucet is a bit too long and ends in the middle on the sink, if you want to wash your face, you have to try and fit it on the side otherwise you'll end up with a bump on your forehead 😅 and also you tend to have water splash all around the bathroom because of it.

The reception staff were pleasant and efficient. We arrived early but were given a room immediately! I had also requested a quiet room, important to do that in advance. The room was clean and the bed large and very comfortable. There was no air conditioning but the windows opened with a safety catch and there was a fan in the room. The breakfast choice was exceptional and the staff in the buffet so helpful and friendly. There is a coffee house and a pub in the courtyard but the best thing is the location. You have busses on either side of the hotel taking you to almost anywhere in London and a tube station nearby.

Great location! The tube station is very very close. There are bus stations right outside the hotel that will take you literally everywhere. It’s a very safe neighborhood. And the thing I loved the most is that some major objectives are in walking distance from the hotel. The staff is very helpful and kind. The bed sheets were very clean, looked new. Overall we had a great stay. Great value for money.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel location was excellent and only one tube stop from King’s Cross Railway Station. All other tube lines were in a short walking distance for visiting attractions etc. Staff were friendly and you can store luggage if you arrive before check in time and also when you check out, if you are spending the day in London. We had a triple room and all found the beds really comfortable. We didn’t book for breakfast so I can’t comment on that. You can pay and have it there during your stay if you choose but there are plenty of cafes and restaurants around too.
