It's accessible from Heathrow on both the Elizabeth line and Piccadilly line. But the fare on the Piccadilly line is less than half of the fare on the Elisabeth line. The ride is a few minutes longer that way but well worth the savings in my opinion. The hotel is about an 8 minute walk from the Russell Square station

Great place to stay for a solo overnight trip in the city.

I had a single room on ground floor looking out on the front.

Only complaint was that the hotel exit door was therefore on the same wall as my headboard.
That meant every time the door closed it slammed shut . I know this is part of the security lock but I wish it had a soft close function.

Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. I appreciate the room was warm but I like the fact AC hasn’t been installed ruining the features of the beautiful old house.

Shower was hot and with plenty of water pressure, no complaints.

Breakfast was continental style but plenty of options.

The area was ideal for solo travel and it was a pleasant walk to Covent Garden my first afternoon. I walked back around 6:30 pm and it was dark but never felt scared as lots of people around going home etc.

The next morning I walked to Oxford St and again after a long day out I headed back to the hotel in the evening.
Beautiful area full of lovely old charm.

Great hotel for the right people

Bloomsbury Palace was just what we were looking for. As first time visitors, we were out sight seeing all day. The location is excellent - a four minute walk to a useful stop and a 7 or 8 minute walk to the tube station for the Picadilly/airport line. The included breakfast was a big plus - we like to eat a good early meal so as to devote as much time as possible to see the city. The hotel is no frills. The climb to the 3rd floor (essentially 6 flights) was not enjoyable but this was a one time ordeal.

Room up multiple steps – not good for someone in their 70s. Breakfast sub tended – coffee hopeless (with no choices – just one jug, not even the most basic of coffee machines). Bathroom facilities very basic. Eventually moved to better room, but still nowhere near standard when would expect from even a modest central London hotel.

This is a hotel where solo female travellers are welcome and can feel safe. I was there from a Fri night to a Sat morning, so it might be a bit less quiet on a weekday morning than I experienced as it is on a main road. I booked a small double, as I found the single to be too small on a prior stay and it was well worth the small extra expense.The breakfast is more than adequate, though it is a buffet with no hot options. Lots of nut milks and vegan yogurts available though, which is a bonus. I will be back if I need to stay in the area again in the future.

Poor Hotel

Uneasy to check in, the system is asking for reservation number sent in email address, however, there's no reservation number instead an itinerary number. Therefore, I entered this number, however, it's not bring recognised by the system. On positive note, the staff is accommodating.

The room has no enough space to move around, although I booked for a room good for one, I was not expecting that the size of my room is like a prison.

The bedside table is not clean, very dusty. I believe they forgot to clean it. Or maybe, I'm expecting too much hence I checked in very late, before 12midnight.

The ceiling is not well managed.

The sink is too small where my hands are constantly touched the faucet when washing.

There's no enough space in between the toilet bowl and the sink, I must sit on the toilet slightly different.

The bed is not the usual single bed but the size is like a trolley in Emergency Room or Theatre where there's no space for you to move or reposition.

I'm too tired and I don't want to stress myself therefore, I didn't ask for a replacement of my room. My goal is just to sleep hence I need to wake up early to attend the conference, which is the reason I visited London.

Actually, my room looks bigger in person than on the photos and I have a small single room.
