We arrived too early so our room was not ready. As we were soaked from the heavy rain, we opted to have lunch in the bar so we could dry out while waiting to check in. To assist the waiter gave us towels before taking our order and the food was good, as were the buffet breakfasts. Our room was clean and comfortable and all the staff very friendly. We did not pay for a premium room and were limited on space in the shower room and this is the only reason we have rated as good instead of excellent

Hotel was fine. Please read the t&c. You are not entitled to delay compensation.Left London 12.30 to reach Edinburgh 16.42 It should have taken us one train just over 4 hours to get to Edinburgh, this did not happen due to an electrical fault on an LNER train in front of us. (These things happen so not to bad).We sat just outside Darlington for over on 90 minutes freezing with no offers of tea/juice. We were eventually told that we had to get another two trains home. Stood for 4 hours on both trains we were told to take with other networks, this was outrageous getting pushed and shoved trying to get on the train with bickering, arguing people unable to get on the seriously overcrowded trains. The elderly having to sit on the floor for parts of the journey the train was so crowded you were unable to get to the toilets.Stood in the rain and cold in York and Leeds for over an hour waiting on trains being moved from platform to platform. We eventually reached Edinburgh at 20.55.

room was a bit small, the window was not draught free ,plus there was a lot of noise outside, i.e builders with a machine that kept bleeping, i`m aware that the builders was nothing to do with hotel, perhaps the hotel should of made customers aware of noise

"Great location "
Really close to Russell Square tube station, so great location. Easy check in. Separate lift for 7th floor rooms. Rooms very small but nicely decorated & bathroom looked new. Shower was terrible, definitely not a power shower & only drizzles out. Big problem with drains, room smell awful not arrival & had to leave windows open. Beds super comfy & pillows great too. No long mirror. Rooms serviced everyday along with towels.

"Close to all theatres."
Although the hotel was clean and presented well, the staff were all approachable and friendly/professional. The rooms had couple of drawbacks, namely no air conditioning rather a small fan and thermo was extremely hot, even with windows open. The bed in the room was also on the small side (queen size), even premier inn offers king-size beds, something that could elevate any stay. The last point is that the restaurant whilst serving some tasty fare, was very overpriced along with unavailability of some menu items

The room was too hot, and of course being London, having the window open was noisy, so it was slowly bake, or have a lot of noise. No one came to clean the room until around 5p.m. by which time we were back in the room getting ready to go out. Despite these minor issues, the hotel is comfortable, central and well priced, so I`d recommend
