Location near Bloomsbury

The St Athans Hotel is in Bloomsbury, central London. It is a 5-minute walk from Russell Square and a 10-minute walk from London Euston. The University College Hospital (with Accident & Emergency) is a 15-minute walk. Several bus routes, 4 tube stations, and 3 mainline stations are within walking distance. There are many places for Harry Potter fans to visit within walking distance.

Transportation Information

The hotel is 20 km from London City Airport. To get to the London Stadium, take a train from St Pancras to Stratford International. The Gatwick Express goes to Victoria Station, where the Victoria Line provides direct service to Euston. Parking is free on side streets near the hotel on weekdays between 18:00 and 08:30 and from 13:30 on Saturdays until 08:30 on Mondays.

“St Athans has a genuinely friendly atmosphere, as I've gathered, and the owners clearly care about the place; it's also in a prime spot near Euston, making it easy to get around. Climbing those stairs to the top floor might test your agility, but the payoff is a quiet night's sleep, and the shared bathrooms are surprisingly well-kept. For a London stay that balances cost and convenient location, it's a solid choice, in my opinion.”

convenient locationtidy common areacomplimentary beveragessmall roomno elevatorstreet noise
i stayed for a few nights. the location was convenient to several tube stations. staff kept the common areas clean and tidy (i did notice this daily). the complimentary tea and coffee in the lounge was a welcome touch.
my single room was quite small (smaller than i expected). the lack of an elevator made it difficult with my luggage. street noise was noticeable at night and disrupted my sleep.
