Tavistock Hotel

Tavistock Hotel Overview

First Impressions

The Tavistock Hotel sits right on Tavistock Square in Camden, and honestly, the Georgian facade gives you that classic London feeling before you even step inside. It’s a three-star property, so you know what you’re getting — solid, comfortable, without any pretense of being something it’s not. The lobby has that traditional British hotel vibe, nothing flashy, but there’s something reassuring about the straightforward approach they take here.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about staying in London — location can make or break your trip, and this place absolutely nails it. You’re a five-minute walk from Russell Square tube station, which puts you on the Piccadilly line straight to Heathrow or into the heart of the West End. The British Museum is literally around the corner, and I mean that — it’s maybe a three-minute stroll. Couples seem to get this particularly well, rating the location 9.2, and I can see why. You’ve got that lovely square right outside with its garden, plus you’re close enough to everything without being stuck in the tourist chaos of Covent Garden.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was what you’d expect from a well-maintained London hotel — not huge, but thoughtfully laid out. The beds are comfortable enough, and the windows actually open (which isn’t always a given in London hotels). You know what I appreciated? The tea and coffee setup was properly stocked, and the shower had decent pressure. It’s those small things that matter when you’re dealing with jet lag or coming back after a long day of walking around the city.

Breakfast Worth Getting Up For

The breakfast situation here is actually pretty impressive for a three-star place. They do a proper full English alongside continental options and it’s set up buffet-style, so you can take your time. The bacon was crispy, the eggs weren’t overcooked, and they had decent coffee — honestly, that’s more than I can say for some pricier places I’ve stayed. The dining room gets busy around 8:30, so if you’re not a morning person, either get there early or wait until after 9:30.

Why Guests Love It

What really works about the Tavistock Hotel is that it delivers exactly what it promises without any surprises. You’re paying for a solid London base with an unbeatable location, and that’s precisely what you get. The staff knows the area well — they gave me walking directions that actually made sense, and pointed me toward a great pub nearby that I never would have found otherwise. For the price point and that location score of 9.3, it’s hard to argue with the value. You’re getting everything you need to enjoy London properly, and sometimes that’s exactly what matters most.
