The location of this hotel couldn't be better 10 min walking to Euston or King's Cross railway stations, 5 min away from Russell Square underground staion. There lots of museums, parks, cafes and restaurants around. And Oxford Street is near by. The hotel staff was wondeful. Especially many thanks to receptionist Wasib who was extremely kind and polite and accommodated us earlier in a quiet room as we requested. The room was clean, comfy and good-sized. We will definitely come back there. Thank you!

Clean room, pleasant staff. Only downside is that it took me ages to find my room even with the map! Quite a rabbit warren, and signage could be improved.

They were very accommodating when I needed to stay an extra night as well as having a room available so I can check in early. It’s very close to the tube and multiple bus stops. I never once felt unsafe. Would absolutely stay here again

Very clean and comfy - would happily stay again

I stayed in a twin room for three nights in September 2025. The room was very clean, which to me is the most important thing, and the bed was very comfy. We had everything we needed. We did actually swap rooms after the first night as the first room overlooked a large courtyard that was a bit noisy during the night, but the second room was quiet. My stay was for a hospital visit, and the hotel is very handy for UCL hospital. There are lots of nice places to eat at night within a short walk. I didn’t have breakfast in the hotel so can’t comment on the food. I had a bit of a problem getting the WiFi going initially as it would only allow me to connect one device (I needed to use my phone and my iPad). Apparently it should be possible to connect four (there were two of us staying in the room). The receptionist tried to help but wasn’t able to, but he referred me to his colleague who soon showed me a way round the problem. Thereafter I had no problem at all connecting with either device for the remaining three days. I’d very happily stay again as it was so clean, and I’d recommend it to others.

Nice place and convenient

The City Sleeper is one of the best value for the location in London. Very convenient to the transit system. Room very clean, staff friendly, and the buffet adequate.
