    Tavistock Hotel front entrance

    I stayed here a number of years ago and it's still quite a popular hotel with tourists. Good prices, good location. I have stayed in this area of London a few times. Close to Euston Station, King's Cross/St. Pancras and Russell Square. The Tavistock is handy for Bloomsbury and the British Museum and not that far from the theatre district.

    All rooms en suite, some smaller than others, breakfast included may be continental or full English, depending on price.

    Overlooks a nice green leafy square. Two blocks' walk to Euston Station or Russell Square. Russell Square is on the Picadilly line to Heathrow airport.

    The Tavistock Hotel is emblematic of a problem that you will face when attempting to book a hotel room in London, that being that the hotels are grossly overpriced for what you get. The Tavistock is marketed as a budget hotel with prices starting at 61pounds! This makes the Tavistock one of the most overpriced hotels I have ever stayed at for the rooms here are small and from what I see from the photographs on the website, they have not been renovated since I stayed there in 1989. The walls are very thin and you can here what is going on in the next room. I had experience that would really gratify a voyeur.

    There are some pluses about the hotel. It had a good and friendly bar as advertised. The staff here was actually very friendly. Probably the best thing about the hotel is the neighborhood which is safe. The British Museum is nearby as are many good pubs.

    Stayed here once when on business travel. The room was 8 foot by 10 foot. There was one shared bathroom for 20 rooms. (I ended up taking showers at the gymnasium of the Harrow worksite.)

    This was no cheap hotel. It cost plenty to be close to the Euston Station but the room quality was not up to the price. Everything was clean but old. The staff was courteous but not especially friendly ("stiff upper lip and all that, old chap").

    Luckily it was business travel so i was able to get the cost back from a company voucher but I asked for another hotel the next time I was in London.

    • I stayed here one Friday night in January 2009 after getting stranded at Euston Station without any trains. The room was small but functionable with a decent shower. The price was Ł64 which included breakfast and I thought it was reasonable value for money. The lifts are quite small so it's an advantage if you are on one of the top floors, there were a couple of times when people calling a lift from lower floors couldn't get in and had to wait for the next one. Luckily I was on the eigth floor, with a good view over the park. The Tav Bar serves a good pint of Abbot Ale although the decor seems to be aiming for Art Deco but ends up looking more like 1970's Kitsch. Unless you can bag one of the sofas, the seating in the bar is a bit uncomfortable and annoyingly they wont let you take drinks into the more comfortable lobby area. Part of Imperial Hotels Group which has a number of hotels on the road between Euston and Holborn.

    Tavistock Hotel: Accessible but expensive old hotel    Check Rates

    • This is not a "value for your money hotel". It looks nice and cozy in the internet but at the price we paid, is not worth it. A similar 3 star rating hotel in Sweden is probably their 5 star suite accomodation. The service is good though. The amenities is very basic. I wouldn't recommend this hotel. Its old and not well maintained.

    The staff are courteous and friendly.

    We got this offer through "viajar.com": 3 night, continental breakfast, two persons, New Year's date --> 230€ (a bit less than 40€ p person & night, which I guess around 50 $).
    It is a huge hotel (around 400 rooms) in the same building of another hotel of the chain (Royal National). Located in a calm area, is easy to find, in front of Tavistock Square. Rooms are clean and spacious, we were in a non-smoking one; wc separated from the bathroom; tv; internet connection (paid apart). The breakfast restaurant quite big and the waiters attendant but looking tired of.... don't know. The breakfast isn't varied: toasts and rolls to smear with butter and jam, and tea or coffee. You can choose the English breakfast to change for a day, which is advisable.

    Having time, you can go to the gym just on the corner. Nice view of the square, specially if you don't go on winter, so ask for one room of these.
