I have never before left a bad review of a hotel however, i feel i would have to warn anyone about staying here. Me and my work college were here for a business trip and needed to be located in the russell square area which was the main attraction of this hotel when booking. We did however, look at the... More

I rarely give bad reviews, however the Lonsdale is not a place I would recommend. The room we were to have was out of action, so we were shown to the basement which was exactly that; a basement with painted walls, a rag across the window and we refused to stay there. we were then shown another room, not yet...

My partner booked this hotel as a birthday treat for me. On arrival we were greeted by the rudest receptioist i have ever encountered, the reception stank and was so hot i had to wait outside. We were given room 8, when i entered i couldnt believe what i was seeing, there was damp all over the walls and the... More

Entered the reception, which was about 100 degrees and stank, so not a great start. Then on arrival told that there was a problem with my shower in my room so was not given another room but instead told we had another hotel arranged for the same price just down the road. The hotel down the road was the Gresham... More

This was the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in. The beds were crawling with bed bugs , the room was like a cell, not even a glass in the bathroom to get a drink... I slept in my clothes and left at 6.30 am just to out of there. It should be shut down.

This was probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Yes it was cheap and very well located - 5 minute walk from Russell Square but that is the only good thing I could say about it. It was quite an impressive building from the outside but obviously past its sell by date once you went in. We were... More

Let me start by saying, Me and my mate are two working class blokes who regulary stay in Premier Inn so I am not reviewing this from a top class hotel staying background. (Although I must say Premier Inn is really great!) Right on to the review. We actually got put in this hotel as The Gresham round the corner... More

We were prepared for something basic but this was beyond imagination for crapola. The room at £75.00 just for a double bed overnight was in a basement with 2 towels a small bar of soap - and that was it. No breakfast; a dirty shared shower with the loo in it. No lamps, only an overhead light. Paper thin walls.... More

Filthy hot and horrible , we passed on the shower in the morning, it would have done more harm than good. DO NOT STAY THERE !!
