“Very pleased with this hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

2 blocks from the British Museum. Close to Holborn or Russell Sq tube station (Piccadilly line) so you can get to the other attractions quickly even by walking. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Bed is comfy and the room is clean and spacious compared to a more expansive hotel which I also stayed during this trip. If I MUST say 1 negative thing about the Buckingham Hotel, then I guess the constant pumping in the background might bother some. It's not that loud but at night you hear it. I am not a light sleeper so it did not bother me. I will MOST CERTAINLY stay at this hotel again and I recommend it to my friends and family.

“Nice boutique hotel, conveniently located”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011

Walking distance to Holborn tube station which connects to 3 major Underground lanes. A relatively quiet street close to two parks. Staff at the hotel is friendly. My room (202) was quite big for London. Would definitely stay here again.

“Room 301”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

Tiny room, small double bed against the wall, otherwise it would not have been possible to get the bed into the room, had to climb into bed from the otherside, just enough to put your feet dowm and shuffle off to the equally confined space of the tiny bathroom, the information/photographs provided for promotion by the Grange Group was the most misleading I have ever come across (special effects photography!!!).

Room Tip: Don't even bother, the room where they serve breakfast can only take aroud eight people at any...

“Good location, clean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011

We enjoyed our stay here. Staff friendly and looked after our cases. Only quibble was the 'public' toilet - it didn't flush properly. We had a basement room which was large. Just be aware you get the low level noise of the undersground. But the bed was comfy.

“Very nice hotel, reasonable price, excellent location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011

This small hotel located just one block away from the British Museum and Russell Square and a five minute walk to the Hobron "Tube" station proved to be an excellent choice for my wife and I. Our room was large, nicely decored, comfortable and with a large modern bathroom. The room also had a small refrigerator and micro wave oven, which we did not use. The only slight negative was that our assigned room (#1) was located on the ground floor street side. The street traffic noise was not a problem with the windows closed, but in summer months this may be a problem, as the hotel is not air conditioned. Also the night window curtains had to closed at all times for privacy and to shield this room from the hotel exterior illumination lighting. Thus a court side or upper room might be preferred. Our included continental breakfast was quite good. All in all, we very much liked this hotel and would recommend it to other London visitors.

Room Tip: See above comments above.
