This is the first hotel I've stayed in and reviewed that I wouldn't recommend. The hotel is very expensive, and allegedly 4 star. It isn't. It's a four star building with 2* (or worse) service. OK, well, it wasn't all bad. The hotel is in a great location, and the building is lovely. The decor of the public rooms is brilliant and some people appeared to be having a very good wedding reception there when we arrived! The rooms are big, too. OK, the bad. The decor in the room was a bit shabby and the sink did not work properly in our room. The plug was jammed shut when we arrived. All of the courtyard facing rooms (on the sixth floor at least) have a lot of noise from some kind of machinery running in there The bar has typical London prices, but once when I was served the bar man told me the round of drinks would be one price, then came back and gave me hardly any change, saying the price had changed. He also opened the wrong bottle of beer for one of our party, and on giving us the correct bottle, put the top back on the incorrect one, and put it back in the fridge. Terrible behaviour. We had to queue for ten minutes for breakfast so the staff could individually try and make us pay extra for a full english breakfast. Obviously they can't do this at the table. We were not asked if we would like tea or coffee until we were nearly ready to leave. I would whole-heartedly not recommend staying at this hotel.

This is a lovely hotel, close, well within walking distance, to some wonderful London sites. The British Museum is just around the corner, and it isn't a stretch down to Waterloo Station. The tube is just around the corner and there is a lovely cafeteria in Russell Square, across the road. The staff were very friendly and the service in the bar, which has worn leather wing-backed chairs and a lovely ambience, was of the highest standard. The bar staff were very attentive, as was the staff on the reception desk. Be aware that if you don't like your room the staff can move you to a better room i.e. looking over the square or out at the tree tops, as they did in my case. This is quite different from an upgrade (which costs money). What could be improved... inclusive breakfast. But generally rustling around The Russell was a sensational experience and I'd highly recommend it if you're planning a jaunt to London. Julie from Armidale
