Morton Hotel

Morton Hotel Overview

So I’ve stayed at the Morton Hotel a handful of times now, and honestly? It’s become my go-to spot when I need to be in central London but don’t want to deal with the chaos of staying right in the thick of things. The location on Woburn Place is actually pretty perfect – you’re literally a two-minute walk from Russell Square tube station, which means you can get anywhere in London without much fuss, but the street itself has this quieter, more residential feel that I really appreciate.

The building itself has that classic London townhouse vibe – you know, the kind with the Georgian facade that makes you feel like you’re in a period drama. But here’s what I love about it: they’ve managed to update everything inside without losing that character. The rooms are actually a decent size by London standards (which, let’s be honest, isn’t saying much, but still), and the beds are genuinely comfortable. I mean, I’m pretty picky about mattresses, and I’ve never had trouble sleeping here. The bathrooms are modern and well-designed, though if you’re tall you might find yourself ducking slightly in the shower – it’s an old building, after all.

What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff and the little details. Check-in is always smooth, and the front desk people actually seem to know the neighborhood well – they’ve given me solid restaurant recommendations that weren’t just the obvious tourist spots. Speaking of food, you’re walking distance from some really great places on Lamb’s Conduit Street, which is this charming little strip that feels more like a village high street than central London. The hotel’s breakfast is solid too, nothing fancy but proper English breakfast done right, and the coffee is better than you’d expect. One thing to note – if you’re a light sleeper, ask for a room facing the back. Woburn Place can get a bit noisy with the buses, especially in the morning rush. But honestly, for a 4-star place with an 8.3 rating, the Morton delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense or over-the-top amenities you don’t really need.
