Stayed June 8th through June 14th - room 403 for three - small but comfortable and quiet. Daily breakfast was good - additional 10 pounds/person - a bargain. Hotel staff wonderful - front desk, bar and dining room staff - all were very helpful, very service oriented, friendly - really added to our stay. Do yourself a favor - stay... More

Very good hotel in central London. The single rooms have a bed too small for my taste. The double rooms are fine. The hotel is very clean and the staff is very friendly and attentive. I have not had breakfast or lunch at the hotel. I do not know about it. I recommend it.

The hotel is in great location, for whatever reason you're visiting London. Good hotel, clean room -although small one, sufficient bathroom, nice atmosphere, polite and helpful staff. For sure, I will choose it again next time in London.

Arrived in London a few hours before checkin and hotel allowed us to leave our luggage in reception - and again on Sunday after checkout. The room was very clean, bed was comfy and although the hotel was busy, it was quiet during the night. Would definitely stay there again. A great base for a London weekend. Only negative point...

Very happy with this hotel, although the room was small, and bathroom very small, the location, being a 15 minute brisk walk from St Pancras and Kings Cross, and a 15 minute walk from Shaftsebury Avenue was ideal. The helpful and friendliness of the staff was excellent. We didn't eat in the restaurant, but choose an Italian opposite the hotel,... More

I stayed here for one night on business. The hotel was very good, with friendly, efficient staff who really wanted to help. I had a single room, which was a great size, had excellent facilities and was clean and evidently very recently refurbished. It was very comfortable. I had a drink in the bar - nice atmosphere and good service... More

Easy to get to from London's St. Pancreas Railway station (20 minute walk). If taking the tube, Russell Square (4-5 min walk) is your closest stop. I booked well in advance and got a reasonable rate. Small room, as you would expect in London. The room and bathroom were very clean. Quality newspaper delivered in the morning. Good night's sleep... More

Euston Station, Holborn & Tottenham Court Rd tube stations, British museum, Soho are all within 10 min walking distance. The hotel is clean and comfortable. Good for solo travellers who are happy with a single bed. Single hotel room size is small but cosy. It may be worth asking if any a larger room is available, however in my experience... More

We came to London overnight and found the Mercure on LateRooms.com. It was in a good location for the things we were in London to do. The room was excellent - a good size, huge, comfortable bed and all the little luxuries that we weren't really expecting but which made our stay all the more pleasurable. The room was located...

The hotel has friendly staff and is at a good location. However, the rooms are very small, but adequately equipped. Rooms at the back are dark, at the front noisy (especially when windows are opened) and at the 7th floor very warm. Fortunately, the latter have airco.
