Great location in the heart of London. Hotel is very adequate in terms of amenities. Beds were comfortable and the room size and bathroom were perfect for 2 people. Very busy the time we were there and the hallways could get a bit nosy at night. But otherwise a very good bargain and spent 2 weeks. Will stay again.

City Sleeper that requires a charm makeover
Checking in was inefficient. Waited over 20 minutes and was then informed they had no record of my stay. Eventually they found it on their system but there was no apology forthcoming for the error. I think the staff need a charm offensive as they appear indifferent to their customers. However the room itself was good with a great bed, good shower facilities and clean

The bed was very comfortable & I have a bad back so that was really important for me. It’s walkable from Kings Cross. We were told we’d have a quiet room but our neighbours were noisy.

I was very pleased with this property. I stayed for just over a week and got very well-acquainted with the neighborhood, which was so conveniently close to the tube (Piccadilly Line) and bus. The staff was SUPER responsive anytime I had an issue, and they were friendly. You are in a busy area, so the street noise is a given, but I have a noise app on my phone to help block that out and it wasn’t a big deal for me. I loved it here and will try to stay here anytime I’m in London!!

The property looks good but the room i was in needed a deep carpet clean. No complimentary water bottles, no central heating/air conditioning, the walkway of other rooms looked really spiritually dispeleasing images of artwork not great but also the rooms are nice and spacious. I must say most staff of ethnic backgrounds (asian) not so welcoming to black people ( i would say kind of racist) dont acknowledge or even dont want to answer any questions you have please train them how to provide excellent customer service to all visitors. The young lady who checked me in and the older asian gentleman who worked after in the evening were wonderful. Please i know its a business but remember people always remember how you make them feel the experience is what brings repeat customers.

Surprisingly good for the location and price.
City Sleeper is the upgrade class of room at Royal National Hotel. The cleaners were great, and I appreciated that it was NOT one of those hotels that tries to persuade you to go without cleaning. THANKS! Also, the breakfast was excellent. The fried eggs were much appreciated. Great expresso machines.
