Park Inn London, Russell Square

I was booked into this hotel by my employer for 2 nights, having stayed there a few times before (but not for a couple of years). It was fine, but nothing really special. I was happy to stay there because it is well situated for where I need to be, and I have always felt safe staying there. I do think however that it has moved slightly downmarket in the changeover from the Bonnington to the Park Inn. It might just be me, but I think that first of all the new hotel sign (Park Inn) looks a bit cheap! And the old engraved Bonnington sign is still clearly visible. Check in was fine, but when I later went to reception to ask a question, they were a bit unhelpful and disinterested. My single room was OK, but the bed seemed very small. However it was clean and presentable and the bathroom was very nice. The bedroom was far too warm and I was glad to be in an inner room where I could leave the window open. I only ate breakfast in the restaurant. Again, it was fine, although it was difficult to attract attention to get coffee. That's the best word to describe the hotel now really - fine - nothing more, nothing less.

This hotel was booked for me as it was a business trip.

this hotel is very modern and most of it has now been refurbished. the carpet in reception however still has the 'B' for Bonnington which i found a little odd.

i stayed in a basic double room. i am only 5foot 4 but i did find the bed to be very short and my feet were almost hanging off the bottom. the speakers in the bathroom are fantastic and it was great to get ready in the morning listening to the news.

the room was well equipped with a hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities and free toiletries. there was a nice touch of hot choclate being available too.

the room was clean and very tidy.

My colleague and I walked to covent garden which is a bit of a trek but if you are relatively healthy you can make it.

i would recommend this hotel to anyone and i would definately stay there again

A first stay on a business trip, so perhaps why all 3 of us were given one of the newly refurbished rooms. Staff were quite friendly. The bar stayed open later than a lot of London hotel bars and the one bar staff working was pleasant. Although, a double room it was quite small and not enough space if a second person had been with me to comfortable get in and out of bed on one side as too close to wardrobe! Overlooking a courtyard, it was quiet. I did notice the length of the bed was smaller than normal but at 5ft 5 it was adequate for me. Bathroom and shower good with internal speaker system. Flat screen wall mounted TV with clear picture and pay to view film choices. Breakfast was self service with everything you would expect from fruit and cereal to full English and 3 different types of sausage. Will stay again.
