Surprisingly good for the location and price.
City Sleeper is the upgrade class of room at Royal National Hotel. The cleaners were great, and I appreciated that it was NOT one of those hotels that tries to persuade you to go without cleaning. THANKS! Also, the breakfast was excellent. The fried eggs were much appreciated. Great expresso machines.

Location is convenient, the room was in acceptable condition and bathroom was clean. But the staff was unfriendly and quite off-putting in addition the room was cold with excessive draft from a bad window. The worst was the street noise which the window did not help with, it sounding like we were sleeping on the sidewalk.

Terrible
I had the hotel booked by a friend who’d mistakenly booked the wrong date a day after my arrival. We asked the hotel if they could consider moving the booked wrong date to a later date or same day if there was availability but they declined both options. I had to pay for an additional date and lost the booked amount which I think is absolutely unfair. £400+ gone with only half of that used.

Check in was smooth and staff very friendly. This hotel is actually 2 hotels with interlinking corridors. Trying to find your room is a nightmare as the numbering system is completely random it seems. Signage on the floors is poor too. There were staff around on my floor to guide you to correct room. May be that’s the same on other floors. Room was clean but compact as was the bathroom. There wasn’t a lot of space should you wish to work and no desk chair to use at the small portable table. Room was quite cold but there is a radiator although it wasn’t that great at putting out heat. Would I stay here again? For the price probably not but, as I said, it was pleasant enough.
