“The Tavistock Hotel benefits greatly from its Bloomsbury address, putting guests within easy reach of the British Museum and Covent Garden. I noted that some rooms can be small and vary in quality, though many are clean and comfortable, equipped with modern amenities like smart TVs. Its proximity to Russell Square underground station and King's Cross St Pancras is a real asset for exploring London and beyond.”
