This was ideally located for my business at London University and for central London sights. My single room was small, with too much furniture, so the chair had to be moved to access the wardrobe. It was clean, reasonably comfortable and all the necessities were provided. There was reasonable soundproofing with the secondary glazing. A few small niggles- e.g out... More

Needed just a one night stay in London and wanted to be near Euston Station and this came up on a search. I am always concerned when I haven't the time to check a property online before going but needn't have worried with this one. Aside from the perfect location, the receptionist was a genuinely lovely member of staff and... More

A small room on the third floor (no lift). Decent - clean and reasonably well-equipped but minute. Would have been OK but for the fact that it was impossible to take a shower (no bath) - the hot water was scalding and it was impossible to reduce the temperature. Called reception and the girl did offer to come up and... More

The Staunton is in the middle of Bloomsbury, few steps away from Russel Square and 5 minutes walk from Brithish Museum and Charing Cross/Oxford St. Hotel is OK however does not deserve 4+ for some reasons: no common areas (just a small reception), single rooms are tremendously small, bathroom accessoires are old and it takes time to select the desired...

Pleasant service, good English breakfast with options, decent sized rooms and bathrooms. Plenty of hot water and towels. Walk to British Museum and theatres. Downside: No lift and steep stairs. Not many restaurants in area.

This nice Hotel near the center, British Museum and Oxford Street are very near and the tube station Goodge Street at 3 minutes. People is very kind and the service very good. We will certainly go there next time we'll go to London City. The breakfast is excellent and we miss it :-)

We recently stayed at the Staunton Hotel and would not plan a return visit. The room was a good size, clean and the decor was pleasant but that was the only positive. The first night we had nothing but scalding hot water from our hand basin and shower and this problem returned intermittently throughout our three night stay. The shower... More

I felt it was a bit overpriced for value, however I don't stay in London often, so maybe was good value. Location was good: across the stree from British museum and within walking distance of theaters.
