Hotels near Francis Crick Institute, London

Though the rooms were small and pretty basic it was exactly what we expected for the fantastic price paid. It couldn’t have been in a better location with an underground station right outside. The rooms were clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. You have to leave the keys with the staff when you leave and buzz to get let back into the hotel which I thought was handy as there was no chance of losing the keys this way! Staff were very quick to let us back in, even late at night so I had no complaints regards this.. and there is a McDonalds outside the hotel which is always a plus! I would definitely recommend this hotel if your looking for somewhere to base yourself on a busy trip in London.

What a great place to start your day off if your running into the City for a staycation. First, through Luggage Hero, you can drop your bags off here safe and secure and collect them later. On top of that, you can sample the delights of some superb food...my wife and I had breakfast. What a great place, it's around the corner from Euston Station, a short walk from Kings Cross and St Pancras and near all the London Underground connections you need. :)

I stated this hotel over 20 years ago and so I can see the difference now and hope was then and it's so much better and the room was was lovely and it had all the things that needed in it and the many offers of different types of restaurants and also the discount card making excellent and it's so central because it's white next to Tottenham court road so it's near Leicester Square and it is a great location. If you're looking for restaurants there are so many cafes and restaurants around you and also Sainsbury's boots and other retail stores that it makes it really a great vacation

The surrounding area is very messy, the entrance and exit of the parking lot is very narrow, and the large SUV must be carrying the road to get out. The Executive Lounge is not bad, the scenery is good, there are clear food and a variety of drinks and drinks at dinner. The breakfast is basically a full English breakfast except black pudding and tomatoes. Some food drinks can also be taken away.

I booked this prior to a departure from Euston, and it has been perfectly fine. The rooms are *small* -- my ”standard single” is at most about 12' x 12', but is designed very well, so that the space is quite comfortable. It features a single-wide bed (firm but comfortable), a small desk, a side table, and a tiny but serviceable toilet/shower. I was a bit shocked at how small it was when I arrived, but everything works. There's a large closet, full tea/coffee-making facilities, and the shower is a reasonable size and quite nice. Breakfast was merely OK, but an acceptable value at GBP 15. The check-in staff was pleasant. The asterisk* in the title has to do with Euston (and is totally out of the hotel's control) -- there's a new station and perhaps a big tower going up at Euston (Oct 2022), and because of this what would be a one-block walk becomes a 2-3 block walk (and a somewhat long 2-3 blocks at that) because of construction, and I imagine this will be true for several years given the size of the hole in the ground.

The location is very convenient in the center of London, 5 minutes from King's Cross on foot in the Bloomsbury district from where you can easily visit the city on foot or take the very convenient public transport. The room is small, but clean, very functional and not claustrophobic, on the contrary.. Also thanks to the small patio outside. Equipped with everything you need to have breakfast and also to eat something on the fly. Excellent value for money.

Breakfast is very rich, there are many tricks, but you can speak English, otherwise you can't point it. Now it's very good to make hot bacon omelet, but it is also rich in western food, enough calories, and it is full. The location is also superb, with easy access to a variety of attractions (Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Museum). As for the price/performance ratio, I think it is okay to see what I am pursuing. Equipment is not a hotel problem, it is an old house, and can't expect too much.

We stayed 3 nights here, first night the rooms were wrong, after going to reception the ignorant woman behind reception was no help. Her male colleague changed the rooms on day 2. All 4 rooms were dumps, not fit for 1 star. Our room in the basement was directly above the tube line, you could hear it travelling every few minutes. Health and safety doesn't exist here. Breakfast is basic, no hot food and the milk was sour and stored in a flask. Everywhere except reception is filthy. The bar was closed for 2 of the 3 days we spent here as the barman did not turn up for work and nobody else was authorised to open the bar including the manager. 10 pounds charge to store your luggage while you wait to get checked in!!! While passing through reception at various times we heard at least 6 people complaining about the rooms they had been allocated. Nothing matches the photos online. Windows unlockable, safes not working, corroded tap in the ”newly refurbished bathroom”, showers blocked. Well over priced for what it is. This place is not a hotel!! Unfortunately 0 stars is not an option.

First booking via trip.com . Very straightforward. The hotel was only a few minutes away from Euston. Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Beds are very comfy and the room was spacious enough for the 3 of us. Late check out was a bonus and we could even leave our luggage at reception which was very handy. Would recommend and will definitely go back. This is a very big hotel and I was worried about noise level but we had a peaceful time.

The morning after our first night my friend and I noticed a bug crawling on one of the beds, we continued our investigation and noticed DOZENS of those crawling all over the twin beds we just spent the night in. We were exhausted the night before after coming back to hotel late and after having shower just jumped straight into beds - who would have thought we weren’t they only ones spending night in those beds! Quick research after our findings and we realised that those were BEDBUGS! Never in my life had I come across anything like this before, not even after being a student and staying at questionable hostels! We reported this to the reception and were offered another room. We didn’t move immediately in the morning and made an agreement that we would move in the evening when we would be back to the hotel. Coming back in the evening and reporting to the reception for a new room, we found one of the evening staff being rude to us and questioning if the bedbugs were from their hotel (like what?!?!?!?). Simple, we said, because we had photo and video evidence of bedbugs crawling all over the beds, we said! This quickly ended her argument with us. We then moved to our new room, where there was no obvious evidence of bedbug infestation, however being a reportedly new room, we found hair all over the floor in the bathroom of that allegedly “cleaned” new room. Unfortunately, being an extremely sensitive to cleanness person and following the events of the previous night, I decided to leave early and not spent another night in this disgusting hotel. My friend, who had a flight early next morning however had no chance and spend a little longer and left at 04am. The evening I decided to leave I started coming out in rash, which had only been getting worse ever since. The intensity of the itch is like nothing I’d ever experienced before - it stops me from sleeping, it drives me absolutely mad, no matter how much I try, one can’t look professional when they have bite marks all over their body, including the face, ears, neck, fingers, hands, forearms - ie areas one can’t cover up - and needing to constantly scratch herself! This obviously has affected my work! And the itch is no better even 6 days later!! In fact, the bite marks are now swollen, causing swelling of my fingers, the scratch marks are now bleeding and I am the most irritated I’ve ever been! Let me emphasise, this is six days later and I genuinely don’t know how much longer I’m yet to suffer! I have obviously filed a complaint and have been contacted by the hotel - they are “kindly” offering to compensate the cost of my medication (as I am now on antihistamines - which don’t work really, as I can’t take the stronger type due to its sedating effect, as I have to continue working and driving; as well as steroid cream) and the cost of my dry cleaning. HOWEVER, despite multiple email exchanges and telephone consultations, they are not planning to refund a 100% of our payment, the argument being
