Happy Stay
There are over 400 rooms in the hotel and check-in took a bit of time was expected. The bathroom is very big and clean. The downside was room was not bright enough and the twin single beds were very narrow.

Queues long for check in. Maintenance man working in the room when we arrived, 10 minutes later get a phone call from reception saying we need to move room. Helped to the new room by staff but it was smaller than the one we’d first been given, not in as good condition either. Only one power point in the room at the side of the kettle, not ideal for two guests staying 3 days.

Great location - but bring your ear plugs!
Great location. Clean & friendly. The one thing that spoils this hotel is the lack of double glazing so you can hear SO much noise from outside - traffic, people talking in the street, tuk-tuk music. Ear plugs are essential!

Pleasant stay, basic for what you need. Rooms were a little dated and some places weren’t as clean as we would’ve expected but it was good for what we paid.

I struggle after back surgery. One of the concierge staff saw I was in pain whilst trying to get hold of a taxi for me. He went and found a chair for me and sorted the cab and then helped me in. Above and beyond service where all the staff are lovely

Reasonably priced, clean and comfortable. We had a triple room with 3 single beds, no put up beds. So much more comfortable for us. Happy to recommend.

Generally, it’s good, since I have a very nice sleep every day after a comfortable shower. The only thing which is not perfect is that my room is not very new this time. Anyways, it’s clean.

The staff on the reception desk were so helpful and friendly. I stayed with my Mum who has mobility issues and they couldn't have been more helpful. They changed our room without a fuss and found us somewhere more suitable. The room has everything we needed and tea making facilities too. Breakfast was great. Good selection of hot food and continental too. We used this hotel as we were seeing a show. So close to Russel Square underground station and bus routes.

The Royal National is conviently located near to Kings Cross and Euston and has parking at a sensible price for London, although spaces are limited and not reservable. The hotel itself is a large conference style hotel. The service on the front desk was good and staff were helpful. The standard room was compact and a little tired but the bed and pillows were really comfortable. The breakfast is self service and is good with many options. Overall our stay was good and the room rate sensible for London. I wouldn't hesitate in booking it again.

It was extremely noisy. Could hear the people on both sides and above our room and those walking down the hall from the elevator. The shower was not fully closed in so the entire bathroom floor had to be mopped up after showers. No fan or ventilation in the bathrooms either so room got very humid and stuffy.

All good bar the street noise
Overall most things about my stay were very good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The check-in and check-out process was swift and friendly. I really enjoyed the burger I had for dinner at the London Pub located in the same building. The breakfast was very decent and hearty with a varied choice for all tastes. The room had been recently renovated, and the bedding was comfy. The only gripe I have was that my room faced onto a main street. Normally not a problem. I found that the window was very poor at keeping out noise. The location seemed to have police cars / ambulances passing every few minutes at worst. And this went on through the evening and night. So, sleep was poor. Staying here again, I would insist on a room that was on the inner court yard if possible. Apart from that excellent value, great location and easily accessible to other areas of London.

There were no seats in the lobby for people to sit , if need be. There is no shop for gifts. There was no ice machine on my floor. There was no ice bucket or mini fridge in the room. All our food and drinks were left at room temperature. There was no microwave to heat up a small meal. The was wwwwaaaayyyy too expensive!!! If I park my car for 24hrs. I should be able to go in and out without being charged extra fees each time. The breakfast was very very disappointing! Everyone doesn't eat PORK! Its not fair to go so cheap that the customer feels lied to! I thought i was going to have at least 1 meat option to manage, but no. I only had bread and butter for breakfast my entire stay! But this was one of the reasons i chose this hotel and they seriously disappointed me and my 2 guests. Its not ok! PLEASE DO BETTER. Thanks alot!
