Perfect for our needs. Room with 4 beds was perfect for teens. Super close to multiple breakfast spots and the underground as well as bus stops. Room was clean. Shower was excellent. Would have liked more space to store items and luggage. Also would have appreciated an ice machine, water fountain, air conditioning and American wash cloths. Staff was super attentive.

The staff are always helpful and polite. Communal areas are open and clean. Nice rooms and a great breakfast. Our only negative is the ease of storing or collecting bags. It's can become very congested at time and we've had to wait a long time

The property was convenient to the Russell Station tube which made it easy to get from Heathrow. Convenient to London's attractions. Only down side was the hotel is located close to a hospital, so we could hear sirens throughout the night, which was no fault of the hotel. Overall a wonderful experience.

Liked: Cleanliness
Check in was extremely busy, took around 40mins, more desks open would have been useful. A staff member was rude to my children for having a seat on the ground during this time, they were watching something on my phone, not bothering anyone. If they don’t want kids sitting around they should speed up their check in process… Also, bring earplugs, the windows of the rooms are single glazed in a very noisy area of central London. Despite this, we would stay again, the location and the room itself is ideal, modern and clean and good value for money.

This was our first time at the Royal National Hotel. It was clean and bright. Quiet at night. Check in was very busy but we were taken to another check in desk. Staff were pleasant and professional. The room was made up daily. The area outside felt safe and not overwhelming. Nearby places to eat. The Underground/tube was in walking distance. I would recommend and stay again if visiting London.
