Hotel Russell - London

Havde lejet såkaldt executive room til en pænt høj pris. Det er en gåde hvad der var "executive" ved rummet (rum 706). Store pletter på gulvet, malingen skallede af, vinduerne var piv utætte, ligeså døren til gangen. Generelt dårlig rengøringsstand. Alt virkede meget nedslidt - hotellet kan absolut ikke anbefales til den pris de tager. Morgenmaden var […] noget af det mest usle jeg har oplevet (bortset fra mine mange rejser i Afrika). Det eneste ubetingede positive er beliggenheden... Læs mere

Såfremt man ønsker at bo på et klassisk engelsk Victoriansk hotel - med alt hvad dette indebærer - så er hotel Russel min favorit! Jeg har boet der 8 gange over de seneste ca. 25 år - både i forretningsanledninger og som ferie. Bus 7 har endestation lige overfor hotellet (kører via Oxford Steet i hele dennes længde) og Russel Square Station (Picadilly […] Line, som ender i Heathrow) er lige bagved hotellet. Læs mere

Malingen hang af væggene på værelset, vinduerne blev holdt åbne med et gammelt beskidt stykke snor der ikke virkede, madrassen var som bølgepap. Ingen minibar på værelset. Bruseren kunne ikke løftets men hang ind mod væggen så det var umuligt at stå under den. Service var elendig, vi ventede en halv time på en spand is. Luften var enorm dårlig overalt […] på hotellet, gammel, muggen og fugtig. Alt i alt et forfaldent, gammelt hotel med dårlig service. Læs mere

Vi boede 4 dage i Queen Victoria Suiten, og jeg må sige det var et rigtig fint værelse og det kostede ikke en formue. Hotellet var gode til at hjælpe med baggage og taxa. Det eneste jeg kan sætte en finger på var Hotelbaren, de fik sved på panden hvis der var mere en to gæster i baren. Ellers et rigtig fint hotel - smukt når man tænker på det er et […] af de ældste i London... Læs mere

The restaurant is serving excellent food - we had the best three - course menu during our 6-day holyday in London

Kun den imponerende bygning og indretning adskiller Russell fra et forfaldent sidegade hotel

The worst hotell i stayed in for a long time i changed room and payid for an upgrade. The ecutive rooms on 7 floor is outdated ..and not maintained well ..tiles in bathroom are almost falling down...shower is in a bathtub.... not at all like a 4 star hotel.

Dejligt hotel nær ved undergrundsbane og tæt på alle de store seværdigheder. Meget venligt personale. Selv om det er midt i byen er der dejligt stille.

Her er et hotel der set udefra tiltrækker et kamera. Folk står og glor midt på gaden fordi bygningen ser rigtig lækker ud. I samme nabolag er der flere hoteller (med lavere priser) men de ligner typiske kontorbygninger udefra. Personalet er rigtig hjælpsomme og høflige. Rengøringen var ordentlig og toiletter på begge rum rigtig moderne og indbydende. Mange […] vælger hotellet som bryllups fest arrangør. Det betyder at store smukke sale i stueetage ikke er tilgængelige for de faste gæster. Der er en rolig bar, en fornuftig morgenmad og elevatorer til de øvre etager. Få minutters gang til British museum, der er en fantastisk (og gratis!) fornøjelse. Visse dele af hotellet virker slidt, ikke vældigt vedligeholdt. Bemærk, vil man bo flot bliver værelserne bare rigtigt dyre. De billigste vender ind mod en lukket gård og har ingen udsigt, men er til gengæld lyddæmpede. næste gang vælge jeg noget billigere.

Hotel Russell har en fantastisk god beliggenhed, tæt ved mange af London's seværdigheder. Der er et stort udvalg af gode spiserestauranter og hyggelige cafeer ganske tæt ved hotellet. Morgenmadsbuffeten var fin, men dyr. Der var en fantastisk conciere, der gav en usædvanlig god service. Alt i alt - Hotel Russell var en god oplevelse.

Hotellet var eksklusivt.

Supercharmerende hotel i gammel stil som oser af tidligere tiders klasse. Begrebet "at slentre" giver pludselig mening når man skal ned af hotellets indendørs trappe. Det ligger lige overfor en park og 400 meter fra British Museum. Bag hotellet ligger en undergroundstation (Russel Square) og en rigtig fed engelsk pub. Morgenmaden er alt for dyr, men […] 150 meter nede ad gaden er der en morgenmadsrestaurant, hvor du for få pund kan spise så meget du ønsker. Læs mere

Hotellet er belggende ved en dejlig park. Det tager femten minutter at gå til Covent Garden. Undgå morgenmaden. Den er for dyr!

It was nice and the staff was very friendly but I was a little disappointed I had to pay for WiFi on top of the price of the room. I guess this is common in London though. Thank you for the nice stay.

2nd time I have stayed at this hotel and I would certainly recommend it to others. The rooms are comfortable and have all required amenities. This time round there was some confusion over my breakfast bill but this was rectified both quickly and smoothly.

Good hotel. Right at the Russell Square Tube stop from Heathrow Airport on the Piccadilly line.

Excellent location....very close to British Museum. The hotel is very nice with vast marble in the main stairway. Wifi is NOT included and cost me 15GBP a day. The room was nice but it was a corner room and the angle of the wall was a bit annoying as I had to duck often. The bed was the most comfortable I had in London or any UK hotel. It wasn't US […] / Canada comfortable, but it was UK nice. The Consieur was not very helpful at all until I was ready to leave and suddenly attentive. He called me a "car" to take me to the train station for 17GBP and he said they take Credit Card.... It was 12 GBP taxi but if they took Visa I said yes... the car got there and after we left the driver informed me that there is an additional fee for using a credit card and basically wanted me to leave an open credit card ticket so the office could calculate the fee. I told him "no" and that I would pay 17 and if that wasn't okay he could take it up with the hotel. Læs mere

I stayed at Hotel Russell whilst in London for Business. 2 night stay at the hotel including breakfast. I was not happy with my first room as it was near a ventilation unit and it was a bit noisy, I requested another room which was done instantly. Great service by the staff at the hotel and they are very helpful with any queries. I included breakfast […] in my stay, but would recommend that you allow plenty of time for breakfast. The restaurant gets quite busy and even at 8:15am there was a small queue. I was seated within 5 minutes and breakfast was great, plenty of choice - fry-up/cereals/fruit etc. My room was excellent, very comfortable, not noisy at all - could hear people walking to their rooms etc but nothing that would keep you awake at night. Bathroom was great, shower pressure was good although some of the water kept running out of the bath tap rather than the shower head. The hotel is a great location, only one stop away from Kings Cross, and literally around the corner from the Russell Square tube station. Læs mere

Just booked room only so can't comment on the food at all. Service very friendly, location good (one stop on the tube from Kings Cross and 20 min walk to Covent Garden) and bed extremely comfortable. Some of the bathroom fittings a bit tired but all very clean so no complaints. No problems looking after our luggage for us on the day we left while we […] did a bit more sightseeing before the train home. Læs mere

Hotel Russel london is overall good hotel. A little expensive but this probably what everyone pays for a stay close to the London centre. The Superior room was well designed and roomy. Our only complain about the room was the bed: matress is too soft, pillows are synthetic, the comforter is too warm. The bad was way worse than the firm one in Malmaison […] Oxford we stayed two nights before. Læs mere

This was our first trip to London, a good friend suggested we stay at Hotel Russell for the true flavor of London, He was exactly right... great hotel, great room and wonderful stay. We loved it.

We stayed at the Russel Hotel for a weekend. The hotel is housed in a magnificent late 19th century building, and the shared spaces and the rooms were impressive.This is a quite luxurious hotel, and everything works impeccably. A newspaper appeared by the door in the morning, which was nice. My only complaint is about the bar. They didn't have any ales […] available, so if you want that you'll need to find a pub. It could also be a bit bigger, it became very crowded. Of course that was Friday night, but still. Læs mere

Hotel Russell is a pleasant hotel with a friendly staff. I found it to be the perfect location for my purposes. 12 minute walk to Saint Pancras, 30 seconds from the under ground and bus lines, 20 minutes to Soho by foot. Clean and spacious and reasonably priced. My only complaint is when rebooking at the front desk they seemed to prefer that you did […] it online which was odd. Læs mere

From check in to check out and in between with the friendly service of the delightful and helpful concierge, our stay at Hotel Russell could not have been better. The rooms are a bit small (the hotel is over 100 years old), but everything has been updated to create a charming and modern hotel in a delightful and convenient part of London. Steps from […] the Underground and a short walk to St. Pancras Station where we caught the Eurostar to Paris, with Indian restaurants, pubs and shops,it was the perfect place for our holiday. I highly recommend the Alternative Tour of London's artsy East End as well. The creator and guide Gary was excellent. Læs mere

In a city where hotel prices at times seems ludicrous Russel Hotel offered us good value for money. The only "flaw" would be that the common areas showed clear signs of wear and tear and could do with a face-lift. Other than that it was all good. Room was nice and spacious, location is great with the Tube stopping (Piciadily line) just around the corner, […] the "minipark" in front of the hotel is a nice little "green lung", its walking distance frm Covent garden area as well as Oxford st. I wud have no problems recommending this hotel to anyone - be it for business or pleasure. Cheers Læs mere

Everything that you could need -- renovated rooms, all amenities, well maintained. And in a very convenient location.

Gorgeous exteriour and interior. Room was lovely, bathroom small but usable. I thought the breakfasts were over priced so we found places near by to eat. I would definitley stay here again. Concierge people were extremely nice and helpful

Horrible customer service! Took me forever to check in and no one was helpful. When i checked out i asked to be helped with my luggage and the responds was no because it was too heavy! I was also told that I needed to give my credit card information in advanced but the money would not be taken out of my account which lead to me having to pay my hotel […] bill and also have that same amount frozen on my account and i was told it might take a week for it to be back in my account. So I basically paid double the amount for a week. I spent about 1000 pounds on my 7 day stay and I have gotten better service from a 2 star hotel where I have only paid a fraction of this. Very unsatisfied! Læs mere

Hotel was undergoing renovation which meant the corridors on our floor had the smell of fresh paint (which isn't the worst smell in the world). Otherwise the hotel was well presented, well represented by the friendly staff and nicely positioned next to the tube station.

Stayed for a weekend FEB 10-12. Very much enjoyed my stay. The staff were very polite, we arrived late, which was no problem, the girl at check in even offered to let me use her Oyster card, as I had not purchased one yet! Amazing. Tesco 24hr shop around the corner for anything you need. Tube stop 100m away. One point to note: We slept too late (after […] a heavy night of partying) and missed check out on sunday by 4 hours. The hotel staff didnt call us or attempt to make us leave (which was nice of them) but there was a £10 per hour late checkout fee, but was worth it. Highly recommended, I will stay again. Læs mere

Stayed for 2 nights for a theatre trip, to begin on arrival offered a junior suite upgrade at a reasonable rate and a good discount on breakfast all good. Went out for dinner as there was a very noisy crowd in the main conference room, on the way out was greeted by 20 people standing on the hotel main entrance steps smoking, which was a particular feature […] of the hotel over the next 2 days. The room has no heating except for an air handling unit previously used as an engine on Concorde but rejected as it was too noisy, and a small towel rail to heat a vast bathroom without the benefit of double glazing. We went to bed as it was too cold to do anything else. At about 2.30am we were awoken by the very drunk and very loud, who decided outside our room was a good place to talk/ shout asked them to turn it down greeted with the usual drunk comments. Not to worry they soon went on their merry way. Bath / shower water temp never rose above warm in the 2 days we were there. 2nd night we had a female pop star who sang at the top of her voice for us for 35 mins at 2am the same song over and over again "she had the key" Breakfast was canteen style and was okay not 4 star but far from bad except for one crucial thing the tea was pre made and put out in little jugs and it was stewed to within an inch of its life, the coffee was no better, they make you cook your own toast but you cant make your own tea/ coffee. Good bits the staff were excellent and the concierge service brilliant. This is our 3rd stay but there are better cheaper hotels very close by and we will try our luck there next time. Læs mere

The room was old fashioned and falling apart. I was located beside some service room and the noise was very annoying. Small rooms big price. Won't be back.

I took my son to London for the first time. I have been many times but never stayed at this wondrous hotel. This is the BEST HOTEL in London and I will never stay anywhere else ever. THE STAFF IS POLITE and the decor is stunning. loved the old style but modern renovations. LOVE IT!!

One week stay during a business course. Meeting room very poor layout and major issues with internet connection. In summary very expensive, poor service and bad food.

Good hotel. Walking distance to Picadilly Square. On the subway line directly from Heathrow. Safe area to walk. Only downfall is no WiFi in the rooms. Had to sit in the lobby. Washroom was a bit tight but clean and good condition. Would definitely stay again.

The Hotel Russell in Russell Square was situated in an ideal location, underground, colleges, local amenities and some fabulous shops. Night life was hopping and a great energy about the place. Will defenitely stay again!!

Fantastic Hotel, Great location, Excellent staff, Beautiful room, Highly reccomend.

Everything was lovely but i did expect the room to be larger, Travel Lodge rooms are larger..Would definately book again though everything we needed on the doorstep..A very special stay on my partners 50th birthday and a fantasic local Indian restaurant, best madras curry ever.

The location is fantastic, only about fifteen minutes walk from the west end; perhaps five more down to Picadilly Circus. It's about the same distance up to Camden as well, if that is what you're looking for. The subway goes all the way from Heathrow to Russel Square -- basically you emerge from the building behind the hotel -- so you can get to and […] from the airport cheaply and relatively easy. We took a cab from the airport to the hotel and, perhaps also due to some roadworks, cost about £100 and took 35 minutes. The subway out took perhaps 55 minutes. Although we booked two Executive Single rooms, they were quite different. One had nice mood lighting, decorations and a large 42" TV, the other had pretty dull lighting, almost no decorations, small(er) TV but instead had a bathtub in its bathroom. In my room, the air conditioning was loud and pretty poor; however I've been at places with much louder AC, so it wasn't that bad. The breakfasts are nice but hugely expensive. You can get a full english (though not as a buffet, if that is important to you) around the corner for about 1/4 of the price. The continental breakfast is quite a bit cheaper and if that is what you want, you will have more trouble finding a comparable breakfast just outside the hotel. Læs mere

Great Hotel and very nice staff in Hotel Russell. Loved my stay over there and it is very central for everything in Central London. The only (small) downside is the fact that some guests should be a bit less noisy, wooden floors and running children is not nice in the middle of the night but this has nothing to do with the hotel but more with the parents […] not keeping their children quiet. Will certainly getting back to this hotel in the future Læs mere
