Best possible location, Russell Square underground station is a straight shot from Heathrow on the Piccadilly line, the hostel is also 2 blocks from Euston, a major train station. Shopping center half block away with 3 groceries including an awesome Asian one, restaurants everywhere in every direction. 2 block from the Nat’l library & its reading rooms if you need somewhere to sit quietly & relax, b/c that won’t be happening in the hostel which has no common areas except it’s restaurant/bar where you must buy something to hang out. British Museum less than 15 minutes by foot on the other side of Russell Square.
Cramped rooms, tiny showers, half the bathroom stall doors don’t lock, not enough electrical outlets, but with this location they really don’t have to make any apologies…
