Top Russell Square Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

10/10 Excellent

"Este hotel es maravilloso. Tiene una ubicación maravillosa"

President Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our room (122) was on the first floor at the front of the hotel. Upon entering we thought it was very noisy however the windows were open and the secondary glazing was also. We closed both of these and it made a massive difference. Straight away we noticed the room and shower room were spotless and saw a card that said the room had been serviced by Binu. Thank you Binu, excellent job! Breakfast the next morning was brilliant. A great start to the day. There was anything and everything you could want from porridge to cooked breakfast, whole or prepared fruits, cold meat, cheeses and breads. Drinks machines for your tea, many different coffees and hot chocolate. Fruit juices and flavoured waters too."

"Totally functional room in central London and for the price you can’t really argue. Decent shower and comfortable bed and really quiet room. Towels were basic, i’d bring my own if i was staying there again. Only issue is the terrible signage around the hotel, dark cut out metal and difficult to read."
