Stayed at Tavistock hotel over the August bank holiday. We had two rooms, both on the same booking but on different floors, which wasn't a problem, but seemed a little strange. The location is fantastic, 2 minute walk to Russell Sq tube. We found all the tube staff REALLY helpful. We found no problems with the breakfasts at all, it... more

For convenience's sake, I stayed at an Imperial London Hotel again, this time at Tavistock Hotel. I had booked a single with a park view, and that's what I almost got. Single turned out to be a twin on the top floor! Nice view, no noise from the corridor but absolutely no room to move around in the room. I... more

I've stayed here several times and it's a good choice for the area without spending too much money. The rooms aren't luxurious and sometimes the decoration is a bit worn, but most of them are fairly large and they have all the basics, including a bath which is a rarity in this price range (£64 for sole use of a... more

i went to London On business so my needs were very simple. i read the reviews posted on the site but i was still a little dissapointed with the room. The room was clean but the furniture was sparse and small. The bed was sooo little and the covers looked a bit tattered, did I mention that the two pillows... more

I stayed at the Tavistock twice in July. Both times I was assigned a small twin room for single occupancy. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. Plenty of hot water every time I turned on a tap. The carpets were newish and the furniture in good condition. The beds were OK, and the bedding clean and reasonably new. While breakfast... more

The bedrooms are awful. While sheets were clean, the carpets and other floorcovering were not. The furnishing was spartan and noise inside and outside made it impossible to sleep. The doors on the 'bathroom' would not open fully due to the lack of space. more

Well, everyone else is correct -- the Tavistock is cheap and conveniently located for tourists. But that's about all it has going for it. Substandard rooms, terrible beds and the worst breakfast I've ever had (how do you screw up scrambled eggs?). There are plenty of other hotels in the same area -- do a little more research and sleep... more

Cheap hotel with great location. The bathroom floor was stained and looked dirty, the room tea and coffee facilities were terrible. Some staff are rude, particularly the breakfast staff. The breakfast was terrible, the full English is served buffet style and is served cold. Even the toast was cold and rubbery. The tables are n't cleaned after someone else has... more

The hotel is clean, confortable and very very well located, nice neibourghood, close to the British Museum, Russel Square metro, St Pancras Station etc. The staff is very kind, except for the "maitre" of the breakfast room, who is always in a bad humour. more
