My partner and i stayed for 4 nights and we thought it was great. The room was very clean but small, the staff were helpful and polite. Breakfast was good and the waiters were very attentive. Nothing bad to say about our stay.Only thing i would suggest to future visitors is to ask for a fridge as there are none... More

For the centre of London this is an ideal hotel. Clean and easily accessible it is a reasonably priced hotel. Rooms are basic but clean and the reception area has an art deco theme which is actually quite nice. Staff are pleasant and helpful. I particularly enjoyed the staff at breakfast as they were quite short but really charactful and... More

I stayed for one night on 23rd May 2012. I stood for a while at Reception, and was not acknowledged for a few minutes. However, once I was acknowledged, the receptionist was very prompt with my check-in, and I was given a room on the 6th floor, The room and bathroom were very clean, but the room itself was quite...

I have just come from my second stay in the Tavistock Hotel and loved it again. My son and I had a twin room. The art deco style is charming and despite being busy, always felt relaxed, a real pleasure to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a while. The staff were ALWAYS friendly and helpful. I...

The location of the hotel is very convenient- 5min walk to Euston station, 12 mins walk to Kings Cross and various tourist sights such as the British Museum, Oxford Street and the Strand all walking distance. The hotel is on a fairly busy square with park in the middle with lots of traffic around it- my room was facing the... More

I have stayed at the Tavistock for many years, it provides good basis accommodation at a reasonable price in central London. After my last couple of visits I was becoming a little perturbed as the place was becoming quite shabby and tired looking. However, I have just spent 6 nights in one of the refurbished single rooms. The bed was... More

This Hotel was recommended by work collegues who use this place while in London, it is a few minutes walk to Russell Sq tube so handy for getting round London. The Hotel itself is a lovely old Art Deco building, the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was basic, but had all the usual amenities you need, just take... More

Have been staying here on off for over a year, mainly through work. Minor improvements have been made, e.g. satellite TV is now standard in all rooms, tho' not many channels, the 1970s curtains and bedclothes mostly appear to have gone. Locationwise good, the British museum is only 5 minutes away, Covent Garden about 10 minutes (on foot). A pretty... More

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel. Came this time in May for a long weekend. This hotel does not deserve the bad ratings given by so many people. It is fairly basic but we come to London to see the sites, not spend all day in our hotel room. We had a room on the... More

It's not the Hilton, but for a reasonable amount of money you get a nice room in a great location in Bloomsbury, right between the City and Westminster, a couple minutes' walk away from Russell Square Underground Station and within walking distance of Euston, St. Pancras (for Eurostar and First Capital Connect trains to Luton Airport), and King's Cross Railroad...
