After seeing less than favourable reviews i was aprehensive, however I can tell you my experience was a good one! After arriving from Euston I was aware I could leave my luggage free of charrge at the hotel, I went to reception to see where i did this and i checked in - luckily my room was available and i was able to go straight to my room. The room was spotless and the bed was super comfortable. The lead in room is on the road side - the upgraded room type overlooks the quieter courtyard. I was on the 6th floor and the road noise really wasnt an issue - do take earplugs if you are a light sleeper as the double glazing isnt great. We went room only so cannot comment on the breakfast - didnt hear any complaints through. Check in and check out was easy and quick, i will be coming back the the Royal National as the location is spot on - 5 mins walk from Euston, 5 mins to the British Museum, 2 mins from Russell Square tube station, lots of places to eat on this road too. Overall a great stay!
