Smart Russel Square is clean and safe. Free wifi. Left early so didn't have breakfast. Nothing to complain about. A very sound option.

Lovely, clean and friendly place to stay. Easy to find and nice rooms. Would definitely book Smart Russell Square again

The Smart Russell Square was acceptable for its price. I did have some problems such as, the key to my locker stopped working twice, the breakfast did not have much to choose from, the bathrooms were not very clean, and the WiFi was not working my first night of staying there. I also did not realize prior to booking that the lockers were not included in the original price. However, the staff was very friendly and helpful. I also liked having a security person on duty at the front door.

This is a great modern hostel, with a friendly atmosphere, located perfectly in central London for easy access to anywhere in the city.

Smart Russell Sqaure is in a great location one block from a tube station and a mall. The employees were always helpful and polite. The cleaning staff was on the move constantly doing a good job in an older building which is typical in London. They had several security cameras and in the evening a staff member at the door checking valid entry. Breakfast was like one big family with all ages. I was lucky to have found Smart Russell

The hostel was wonderful. Before leaving for London I had read several reviews, almost all of them very, very negative, and all I can say is: ignore those. Indeed, there are no towels, nor dish cloths, but hey, what do you expect for the money? I slept in a fifteen bed room which was awesome. I met a lot of interesting people from all over the world, from a Japanese woman on a trip around the world (who gave us very, very delicious chocolate) to a French guy who pointed out that there was a very cool exposition in the neighbourhood by Mr. Brainwash that turned out to be the coolest thing I have visited in London. The beds are kind of small, but I can strongly recommend the place. It's very close to a tube station and in a very homely, very beautiful part of London. The staff was really helpful and made sure we (as a group of five) could stay together throughout the week in terms of bedrooms. As long as you are open to others and don't mind meeting people, you can have a wonderful stay. Just ask people where they're from, and before you know it, you have a cool conversation going. I'm rating five stars, just to say, those very bad ratings, they're wrong. As long as you don't expect too much, you won't be disappointed

Smart Russell Square was well situated, friendly and efficient staff, beds are comfortable enough. Breakfast was really basic, but OK

Smart Russell Square was alright. Compact bed's though, almost sleeping on top of each other. Hot un-ventilated rooms. Cheap price though so can't complain. Friendly staff too

Smart Russell Square is in a very nice location, easy to find. The curtains on your bed is a nice touch for the privacy. Had a great stay, lot's of nice people except for the crew at the desk they're kinda rude sometimes could be more welcoming. Security is done well and they are all very nice and helpful

It was my first time in a London hostel with 24 people in 1 room it was ok. Really warm though but what can you expect, showers where clean, people where nice, no curfue so you can go out and come back whenever you want all and all good experience. Lockers are nice and big (big backpack will fit) only thing I would change is air con in a few more rooms
