Judd Hotel

Super great value for staying so close to Bloomsbury and the Russell Square Tube station. Spouse was doing research at the British Library, which was a short walk from the hotel. Gracious, attentive front desk staff and nice breakfast. The room is on the smaller side, but that is to be expected for London. The room was refreshed every day we were there, which was much appreciated. Very pleased, would stay again!

I stayed here for two weeks so I got to know the hotel and staff well. This is a well-run hotel, with very helpful, friendly staff. The location cannot be better, as it is on a lovely crescent street abutting Cartwright Gardens. The British Museum and other fine museums are just a 10-to 14-minute walk away. The buffet breakfast is hearty and served until 10 am. Since I was there during a heatwave, I used the air conditioning (own thermostat controls) daily, no hassles. I was on the second floor, which meant stairs (there is no lift), so if that’s an issue for you, request a ground-floor room. I highly recommend.

Great staff and excellent customer service. A wonderfully clean hotel. Bathroom a little on the small side but not unexpected for the age of the property and number of rooms. Shower was powerful, and the toiletries were a nice touch. The whole space was really pleasant - and we were incredibly thankful for the aircon when the temperatures outside reached 36°c. Breakfast was a little different - I've never stayed anywhere that cooks toast and leaves it in a basket for guests to pick from on a buffet before - unfortunately led to some chewy cold toast! There were around 5 members of staff attending to breakfast and only space in the dining room for approx 24 guests, so easily could have been cooking to order - yet food was being cooked or prepared continuously whether needed or not with only 10 guests present. There are no refrigerated buffet units, so was put off of trying the yogurt / cheeses etc, and the fruit juices weren't cold. I don't think the buffet warmers for the beans etc were working either, those were cool. That being said, the quality of food I ate was good, all the food was flavourful - just unfortunately it was either overcooked under the heat lamps because it was cooked well before needed, else it was cold. Overall our stay was lovely, and I would happily consider staying at the hotel again in future, but would love to see the hotel restructure their breakfast arrangements to save waste and do justice to the quality of food they're serving.

I am not happy with the room cleaned properly.
