Room was okay, but it was dated and very creeky floor boards.
Room in good condition. Lighting awful. Bright lights only. Heating on all the time and unable to control it. It was very hot and uncomfortable all night even with window open in December. I noticed many people had their windows open. Shower awful. It was a pathetic trickle. Reception staff need a customer care course. Breakfast good and tables cleared very efficiently.

Good room everything worked.
I was fine for the one night stay
Very comfortable beds and the breakfast was amazing! The hotel has a great location (although park side was a bit loud - we arrived on a Sunday and it was quite lively with people and emergency vehicles). Would highly recommend!
Loved my stay at Tavistock, the location was awesome with lots within walking distance, including many bus stops, underground and train stations. The hotel was very clean, good water pressure in the shower and lovely hand, body and hair wash products provided. Bonus points for the pub and restaurant in the building meaning those really cold nights I didn't have to go outside after dinner.

Great location, but lack of air con means you get a lot of road noise
Hotel was great. We slept too late and missed breakfast. Only issue is our room, 119, was across from a staff access room and we heard the door banging all morning. Obviously wasn’t too disruptive as we slept until 11:30.
Good location. Staff were helpful in accommodating a later room stay.

We were able to check in as soon as we arrived at 11am and I thought this was fantastic. The staff were friendly and the hotel had everything we needed
Rooms are small but really all you need if you're going to be out and about all day long. Great location, close to multiple subway stops and about 20min walk to Soho area of London. Overall great.
