We, a family of three, stayed at Royal National Hotel during the first week of November and it was a delightful experience overall. I loved the location, right next to Russel Square Subway(tube) station with very nice options for all kinds of food and shopping. The room I selected from the app was good but there was an issue with the bed and the issue was that the two double beds were placed side-by-side but not joined so they were coming apart at night and as a family with a small child we wanted to have one bed instead. I went to the customer service desk and the gentleman named Jannai was EXTREMELY helpful and generous to understand the problem and changed the room for us. Thank you Jannai! Overall, the room was spacious, clean and had all the amenities we wanted. The location, again, was fantastic and all the major attractions can easily be accessed via subway and the bus. If i visit London again, I would be happy to stay at this hotel.

We tried so many times to work with the property to change the dates related to our stay but they just wouldn't budge and had to pay an extra night. At the end, I don't think this hotel values customer service. From a room perspective, the first night (extra night we paid) the room was outdated and not too clean. They moved the family to a new room the next day which was better.

Disappointing
I don't think we'll be staying here again. Negatives: there were some issues with the bathroom – the hot tap in the sink had zero pressure so you had to turn the tap several times to get a weak stream of water. There was an unhygienic shower curtain in the bath which clung to you while you were trying to have a shower. I'm surprised they didn't think to install a shower screen. We could constantly hear the people next door or upstairs as the walls didn't seem very thick. On another note in the entire room there were only two power points, one of which was used by the kettle. This meant charging phones and laptops etc. was very difficult. Positives: the breakfast was quite good with a hot buffet selection and the usual pastries, toast and cheeses and ham.
