The location is great. Places to eat and shop and excellent public transport options available nearby. Cleanliness of room and service provided by staff generally very good indeed. Excellent free Wi-Fi. One major problem for me: my room - 848 - had been recently partially refurbished, I think, which left it very cramped, with very little unoccupied floor space, so that it was difficult just to move about the room. The bathroom was nice and modern but the door only just made it past the wash basin and the space between the wash basin and the shower was very tight. In the bedroom there was an old drawer and desk unit, with a chair that couldn't be used to sit at the desk because there was inadequate room between the back of the chair and the foot of the lovely, very comfy bed. A stool would have worked better, allowing guest to sit and rest back against the foot of the bed. Not perfect but better than not being able to use the desk surface at all.

Good location, but we had minimal hot water. When we got a bit it was freezing cold after 2 minutes. Brought it up multiple times to the hotel staff; they told us someone was going to look at it, and that it was the first time they had ever heard of this issue (which was clearly a lie as it pops up on multiple reviews.

Excellent Staff #1 in hotel, housekeeping & restaurant. Room very clean. I don’t recall any amenities. Rooms are European small however hotel rooms are small in Tokyo too. designers of hotel room should have chosen beds that allow one to slide their suitcases or other baggage under the bed. The poor room design makes it difficult to maneuver. Also disappointed with Expedia. I had a terrible accident after 3 days of stay. I ended up in hospital ER, surgery & PT for 9 days. My partner stayed in the room and negotiated w staff more days and a room closer to elevator for my recovery days before flying home. Since I registered under Expedia the email only came to me once. In the midst of all my pain and PT in hospital I missed the email. I received no phone calls from Expedia to confirm my extension. Due to no confirmation/payment the hotel took all of our belongings & baggage out of the room I held in storage until my traveling partner arrived to pay via her credit card. Quite upsetting & caused a lot of unnecessary problems & waiting delay in getting our baggage. Regards, Ann

Great staff and a fantastic breakfast. I love the style of the hotel though it's prices right for what you get, with old rooms and, particularly, bathrooms that have seen better data and poor temperature control. I'd go back, I'd recommend it but be aware of it's limitations and make sure the price is right.

The room was fine but they neglect to tell you that you are staying over a bowling alley/club that stays open until 3am and then another hour when the people who had hired it were in the street waiting for their rides home. So great location but no good if you want any sleep.

Nice older hotel with an art deco vibe. Rooms on the smaller side, to be expected given this is a 'vintage' building , but perfectly comfortable and clean. Two restaurants and a bar, one serving Indian style food as well as typical British . At the price, this hotel ticks all the boxes, and the location is great, walkable to Soho, Bloomsbury , British Museum, theatres etc.

So many positive things to say about our stay at the Tavistock Hotel. The room was the perfect size, and upon arrival, not only were we greeted promptly, but able to check-in early, which was a massive plus after coming from an overnight flight. Staff was great, and the area around it is easy to navigate and felt safe the entire time. Having a restaurant attached and plenty of options near by made it a great plus as well. Within a 5-10 min walk to underground stations and about a 20 min walk from Soho.

We had a king-sized bed in a room overlooking Tavistock Square and it was great for all we needed. Walk-in shower and bathroom was ideal for us, and it was easy to get to and from the room. TV options were great - all the channels, plus catch up and YouTube. Perfect for a busy stay! Bed was big and comfortable and it was good to have a table and chairs by the window. Free wifi good. I've seen other reviews complain about noise from the 'park side' but it was fine for us - some sirens, some loud engines and a bit of shouting but nothing disruptive and part of what you'd get in the city. The hotel is a 20-minute walk to the West End, so handy for shows and if you want to go further afield Euston Station is very near and there are constant buses. Tube stations are a little further away. Lots of places to eat and shop near by. Great to have a radiator rather than noisy aircon or fans but couldn't adjust it, so room did get very hot at times, even in depth of winter. Parked underneath Royal National Hotel, which gave peace-of-mind but it's a bit of a labyrinth and a trek to walk in and out but driving in from M6 was simple. Be aware hotel locks doors at 11pm, although you can still get in. We did breakfast on final day and it was a decent spread but quite meat-based so vegetarians might be better finding a (cheaper) Wetherspoons a few blocks away.

The room Number 747 ! Is a triple room - right next door to the lift. This can be heard - up & down - it bangs quite loudly - up to midnight - then starts again - the earliest that awoke me was 5.40? I asked at reception - does anyone ever mention this constant noise? Yes she said - in fact ALL the triple rooms are right next to the lift - on each floor? We were on the 7th floor- which actually is right next door, to the lift. I think if it was just one night - you would be able to put up with this . We were staying 3 nights in London- so by the 3rd morning - We had not slept that well !

Room was tiny and nothing like the photos advertised of a double park room. The room was unbearably hot and as facing the street too loud to keep the windows open. The bathroom had black mould all over the tiles and only 2 options for water temperate in the shower scalding hot or ice cold. The housekeeping office was outside the room so could hear people talking/laughing/smashing around early till late. Decor very dated and really needs money and time spent on this hotel to make it remotely worth the hefty room fee.

This is the 4th or 5th time I've stayed here and won't stay anywhere else in London. It's perfectly located from Euston and walking distance to all the key tourist attractions. The rooms are cleaned regularly, the breakfast is spot on for setting up for the day. I'd say that my only gripe this time was the room was maybe a little small, as I banged my head on the wardrobe right next to my bed a couple of times, but this is just a niggle. I'm already looking at booking again for next November/December in the build up to my 40th.
