Functional

Room was small but functional. The double bed was a small double but it was absolutely fine for one person and one night. The room is a little dated with a 80's style carpet in the room and the bathroom was compact but again, very fine for one night & one person. The staff were lovely and the location is perfect and the room even came with a fan for warm nights so its a solid 3.5/5 in my book.

HOT rooms, but overall pretty good

Nice staff, good location, good breakfast...but the room was so HOT! No AC, and no ventilation, meant it was way too warm in our room, which made it hard to sleep.

Hotel too hot

This hotel needs air conditioning especially being located in central London which is warm. My room was impossibly warm and it was only about 22 degrees outside.during the day

In the heart of the Big Smoke

This location is wonderful between Tottenham Court Road, Euston, KingsX/St Pancras and the British Museum. Although a busy street during the day, super quiet at night, and my room overlooked the square. Modern updated bathrooms make up for the older building. Bed was comfy, and towels fluffy.

The Tavistock is a really well situated hotel, short walk from Russel street tube station and a 10-15 minute walk to Oxford Street. Room was lovely, well appointed and had plenty of shelf space in the bathroom - wasn't keen on the wardrobe space, but that was neither here nor there for a few nights. Doesn't have air conditioning, but there was a fan in the room which helped. Breakfast is really good, excellent selection. Can't fault the hotel for the price and location. Will definitely use again the next time I go to London!
