Royal National Hotel, London

I booked the Royal National through BA Holidays, being that I am a student, I was looking for a good deal, and decided on the Royal National over a hostel since it was only a few dollars more expensive. However, I later read reviews that portrayed the hotel as being a dump. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. The hotel is very busy, but the room I was given was nice and clean and comfortable. I have no complaints about the room, in fact I was given two beds, when I only needed one, so that was nice. Free breakfast is given, it's simple, but it's nice to have it. The location of the hotel is a great plus, and considering how expensive London is, I was really happy to get my own hotel room for such a good price in such a great location. It's located only a few minutes from the Tube, and you can even walk to the Thames in 20 minutes.

Great location

I booked this Hotel via BA hotel offer. It is supposed to be one of BA's favorite choice. We stayed there last month (nov 2003) for a day and it was like a dump! this place need a renovation! Too Buzy at the lobby and noisy as well!! I just dont get it why BA chose this hotel atstheir fav?? And it's not cheap either 90 euro per room for double! It makes YMCA looks..err cheap! Suggestion: we prefer B&B London Hotel

can i consider sliding a key card to open teh door instead of using key unique??

A big and busy hotel with small rooms.

Very hot, as it was the summer with no air conditioning but that was okay. This is a step above a youth hostel. Very fun atmosphere for twenty-somethings on a budget. Great location near the British Museum. Had a fire drill at about 1am which I could have done without.

Good location, near Russell Square and the British Museum.

The food was so-so, but I'm not sure if that is just from being a picky American or what.The rooms were ok.Nothing special, but were fine.

Great location.

The hotel is really very basic. The room is very small, two twin beds and a TV on desk. That's almost every you will get for 85 pounds per day. For me I think it's a big price, but I'm not sure how it compares with other hotels in London. The building is huge!!! There are so many small rooms close next to each other, it makes me feel depressed walking there. When we checked in around 3pm, the hall is full of people, I have never seen any hotel like that before. They offer a free continental breakfast, however I think it's the worst breakfast I ever had.

The hotel is very convenient. It's walking distance to the British Museum. It's also close to the tube which direct comes from London Heathrow airport. Since it's in Zone 1, you may also buy a one day pass for Zone1 and Zone2 which costs 4.7 pounds and can lead you to most sightsees in London.

The hallways are dirty. Someone vomited in the hall on our floor and it was still there several days later when we left. We had to change our room 3 times. We had booked it through BA Holidays and I expected more considering the source. The location was good, very close to the Russell Square Underground station. The breakfast was simple, but not bad. The rooms were good size, but dirty. The shower head was at just right level, it you were 4 feet tall. This place should be avoided.

This place should be avoided! It's got a good location, near the tube, but it's too big and way too noisy! Small rooms, and when somebody walks by on the corridor, you can pretty much hear what they're saying, not even mentioning the paperthin walls between the rooms. If you're booked on the road side, good luck trying to sleep. As with all London hotels, grossly overpriced and not worth it at all! Avoid this if you can.
