The best part of this hotel is the location. It's in central London and less than 5 min walk from Russell Square tube station. Rooms are very small (especially a room we had with an ensuite and a twin bed shared between 2 people) and the hotel is aged, but everything was very clean. If your focus is on sightseeing... More

Great location, near to everything, good cleaning, friendly staff, tasty and plenty breakfast. Only disturbances were scaffolding on the front of the buidling (April 2013) and noisy traffic in the street. I stayed on the first floor with windows facing the street and for those sensitive to noise I would definitely recommend asking for a room towards the garden. Would... More

We stayed here when we dropped off our daughter at Kings College. The hotel is near Russell Square station and you can get to the airport using the underground system cheaply if you don't mind lugging your suitcase over stairs. The rooms are very simple not at all fancy, but very clean and tidy. The common bathrooms are kept spotless,... More

It is behind Russell Square station, which is along the Piccadilly line (goes to Heathrow airport). There is a Tesco Express when you exit the station and The Brunswick is very... More

It's one of the cheapest places you'll find around Russell Square and it is actually very good. The rooms albeit small (they did go for the small option when booking; please note that the hotel actually offers a... More

Only downside was I was in a room with shared facilities and had a one flight journey to the Loo and a two flight trip for the shower. I will certainly use this... More

We spent one night at the Celtic and it is a great place to stay. The rooms are quite basic but the hotel is clean, the staff very friendly and the English breakfast excellent. Besides it is an ideal location. The rooms we had overlooked the back and they were really quiet.

The Celtic is a wonderful basic hotel that delivers just what it promises. The Celtic gets a 5 for location - which is always important to me. Just around the corner from the Russell Square stop on the Piccadilly Line it is one stop from St. Pancras/Eurostar and 3 stops to Leicester Square and the theatre district. It is also... More
