Welcoming and perfectly placed.
The Tavistock is perfectly placed, a short walk from Euston Station and Russel Square for the tube. The room wasn't big and there was no provision of an easy chair in the room, but guests were obviously using the bar area as a lounge, which is a comfortable and welcoming space. The staff were all courteous, displaying personality and humour, which we feel is often lacking in some hotels. We will certainly seek out the Tavistock for our next short break in the city.

Hotel room smelled like cigarette smoke and was incredibly dirty to the point I did not feel comfortable walking around without my socks on. In the shower there was visible signs of mold

Friendly staff. Fantastic location. Close to many underground & Rail connections. Close to British Library. Thankfully there is a lift. Area around can be noisy at night. Why do ild fashioned tubs in bathrooms have such high walls that even a fit (though older) person like me is scared of tripping? Asked for a walk in shower but got a tub instead. Some sort of universal design updating is required for things like that.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The Tavistock was clean & comfortable. We had a king room with a park view, tree-level. Could look out the window and see squirrels climbing in the trees. The bed was super comfy. The room was clean. Loved all this. The room was small, and that wasn’t a problem. However, it wasn’t designed for people traveling. Here’s what we didn’t live: There was no luggage rack! Weird, right!? And not even close to enough towel racks. Since the hotel has small rooms, it would be SO much better if the rooms were designed and equipped better.

Good value for money, loved the Art Deco features
Convenient for the underground and for the theatre we were visiting. We booked well in advance and got a very competitive rate considering its proximity to Covent Garden etc. The foyer and bar area retains many of the original Art Deco features. The rooms we had were small but adequate and the room decor was a little tired, but overall well worth the money and would stay again if in the area. My score of 3* for eco friendliness was a neutral score because we weren’t there long enough to form an accurate opinion.
