Property is only 10 mins walk from Euston Station, check in very fast. We had a twin room which was clean and very comfortable beds, we were on the front of the building so was very noisy from traffic, London never seems to sleep. One thing i did not like was no air conditioning or fan in the room, was very hot and could not leave the window open all night as too noisy! Breakfast good

Very close or an easy tube ride to theatres, restaurants and shops. Beds were comfortable and clean and rooms were a bit nicer than I expected given the good price and location. The restaurants attached to the hotel were lovely, but the breakfast buffet was low key gross and overcrowded. If you’re travelling and love exploring good restaurants, I’d skip their breakfast buffet.

Loved staying at the Royal National Hotel. Room was nice and clean when we arrived and we were able to check in early. Room service was great as they cleaned our rooms when we were out for the day. Near LDN Kings Cross station and has loads of transport access nearby. Loads of shops, cafes, restaurants and more close by. Very close to loads of attractions, walkable distance to British museum, Soho and more! Thanks for a great stay :)

The rooms were boiling hot and full of old, yucky furniture and had no air-con. Felt like a youth hostel. Absolutely not worth the price. Do not go here.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This was more of a budget hotel with very few amenities, very spartan, two twin beds in a very small room. In the lobby they had no seating, chairs, or couches. Tiny bathroom with a sink so small that it was a joke. I know it's Central London, but this would have been a good hotel for $139 a night, not for $300 a night. I got misled by at least one online travel review site about the Royal National.
