My wife and I stayed there this week because it is in a very good location and was reasonably priced. It is within walking distance of about 6 train stations and also from the British Museum. …

My long-standing favourite, and has actually become better since last visit ca. 7 years ago. Staff not just professional but extremely friendly, location excellent, room 329 clean, breakfast very good. Only minus points: pricey, and rooms poorly insulated for sound. Bring earplugs and you're fine.

Lovely staff who are very helpful and care about their guests! The rooms are great for the price, very clean and room-service is great. The breakfast has plenty of choice, including English breakfast and the dining hall is very pleasant to have breakfast at. Only negative points I have is the bathroom, which is a bit outdated with the water temperature a bit hard to regulate, as well as the limit view for our room.But the positive experience and comfort is well worth a 5 stars.

Always a great stay at the Tavistock. The location is perfect for the Russell Square tube and for 3 major rail stations. I've stayed at this hotel since 1985 and always found the staff pleasant and helpful.  …

Lovely art deco hotel overlooking Tavistock Square gardens. Public areas have been beautifully restored in keeping with the period. Bedrooms need updating, as looking a little tired, but comfortable and clean. Good buffet breakfast.
