The staff were all vey polite, helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very good. The Jesmond has a lovely secluded small oasis of a garden which guests can use. For me, its location was perfect being close to Euston station and easy walking distance of Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square etc; and being close to several underground stations on various lines. Yes, the room was small but it had everything I needed and the stay was very pleasant and good value for money, especially for London.

Excellent stay
The hotel is conveniently located and is well maintained and very clean. The bed was comfortable and breakfast was excellent. I’d stay again. The only quibble is that there’s no lift but probably it would be difficult if not impossible to install one in a Georgian building of this type.

We didn’t really enjoy our stay here. The staff was very friendly, the breakfast was great, but the building needs some upkeep (especially new beds). Just a note for travellers, the bathrooms are shared and located outside the rooms.

Would stay there again.
The Jesmond is wonderful. I highly recommend it. Do be sure, however, to check which floor you are on. The top floor is 6 flights up and there is no elevator. Someone with limited mobility would not be able to stay on the top floor. That said, I loved my single room. It face the garden and was quiet at night. I was in London to do research at the British Library, which is a short walk (.6 miles).

Perfect location, reasonable price
I booked well in advance based on the locale (Bloomsbury), positive reviews, and bargain pricing compared to other area hotels. My room was a twin bed single + ensuite. Compact. No room for a desk, chair, wardrobe or such if that's what you need, but was fine with me. Bathroom is small but ok, but the shower leaves no elbow room (it has one of those rain heads, but there's no escaping it in this skinny phonebooth, so you have to turn it off to wash and shampoo, then back on again to rinse). Considering the location, it was quieter than I expected -- even with the windows open, as Gower St isn't a major thoroughfare and has no bus service. Buses are a couple short blocks away, as is the Goodge Tube Station (the Russell Square station and big Euston hub are each a half-mile away). The British Museum is just a 5-minute walk down the street, the Dickens' Museum twice that, while Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus, Soho, Carnaby St, Regents Park and more all within a 15-20 minute walk. A full English breakfast is included every morning, plus help yourself to a bowl of fresh fruit, cereals, coffee, tea, OJ, etc. That'll save you a good 15-20 quid or more per day otherwise. Wifi was fast, but there were a couple brief outages while I was there, probably their ISP to blame, so out of their hands. There is no elevator, but someone is available to lug your luggage up or down if need be. Also no A/C, although the house will provide a fan if needed. Stayed 5 nights, would so again.

The staff were friendly and made you feel part of their, the property, environment. A fact sheet in each room would be very appreciated....stating the breakfast hours and the hours that the garden was available to use. I was not aware of access to the garden till the day I left. You could also locate areas were restaurants are available close by. While most of us have smart phones not all of use use the location service of these attributes of smart phones. Thank you.

The 5 person room worked well for a family of 5. It is one large room with 5 beds. Tea service and coffee are provided in the room. The breakfast was wonderful as it allowed our family to fuel up and get some good recommendations from our host. Also, the hotel is willing to hold bags before check in / after check out. Vincent, our host, was delightful and full of great recommendations. Highly recommend.

Liked how close it was to theatres & tourist attractions whilst still being in a quiet, safe area. Single room is average size but very comfortable bed so slept well. Tea/ coffee provided in the room & full English breakfast was beautifully cooked. Staff are friendly & welcoming. There is a little garden at the back where you can sit out too. As it's an old building be prepared for lots of stairs to your room.

Amazing service
The manager, Vince, was absolutely amazing. He told me about the building and the area it is in, which is very historical. I have stayed in hundreds of hotels and he provided me with the most thorough orientation to my stay in the hotel. It made a great impression on me. The whole staff was very concerned with making my stay exceptional. I would also like to mention that the hotel is within easy walking distance of at least 3 tube stops. Very conveniently located.

Not really a hotel.
We were stunned to realise that there was not toilet and no shower!!! For the price we paid, it’s completely unacceptable. The location is great though with everything nearby. The room was clean as well but it is more a youth hotel rather than a proper hotel
