Friendly staff. Clean and good facilities. The breakfast was good. Overall though it needs refreshing. Our room had broken window window blinds, and the furniture was a bit shabby. Very comfortable bed and linen. Be prepared for a very noisy stay however, due to traffic and the general public.

Stayed for one night at a weekend as I was down in London for a concert. I was pleasantly surprised, definitely one of the best hotels at a very reasonable price that I've stayed at in London. Would go back.

Wonderful stay at this hotel. Peaceful and quiet. Rooms are small and cosy yet with a modern touch. Very conveniently located. Only missing factor is the lack in providing toiletries such as toothpaste and toothbrush sets.

Disappointing, except for the service which was helpful and polite and the location. The room, typically small for London. Relatively clean but feeling a bit worn out and dated. Some sloppy finishes make it feel a bit shabby. Had the misfortune of a room above or below construction and loud banging during the late morning. A problematic lack of storage in the bathroom. One hook for a towel and a sink barely large enough to rest a tube of toothpaste. The shower is an open design with no edge to keep the water from spilling over the entire bathroom. Overall disappointing, yet acceptable in a pinch if you set expectations accordingly.

The hotel is quiet and well located. The premises are ok, although there were cracks and dust in places in the room. Where the stay is spoiled considerably, it is about the service. No staff speak French, no one makes the effort to understand what my mother (who does not know English) tries to explain, and I have to be a translator. No effort therefore, and especially a desire to cash at all costs money from your credit card, then nothing. Hyper disappointed with this hotel that has good on the internet but is not at all up to these expectations. Impression of being "scammed", in any case to disturb.

Absolute tack. Got afternoon tea here reheated stale scones, margarine on sandwiches instead of butter and hard cakes. The stand was thrown at us and we ordered more tea and were hit with an extra 9 pounds for extra tea without warning or mention. I have afternoon tea weekly and never have been billed for extra tea. Tacky and unpleasant food

I stayed in the ambassadors for work, the staff couldn't have been more helpful. A friend who I was meeting asked if they could stay the night before. One quick phonecall got the room changed from a double to a twin and another breakfast was comped on the day. The location is fantastic for Euston and the hotel was all that is expected having stayed at several Bloomsbury hotels before. Nice comfortable rooms with a good level of amenities. The only criticism is that of location which can be leveled at all city centre hotels the view isn't great as you're surrounded by tall buildings and while the soundproofing is excellent, opening a window for "fresh" air also lets in a fair bit of the noise that is ever present in such a busy part of London.

Lobby area looks lovely but rooms very basic abd with limited space. We booked a superior room and half of the amenities we booked weren't provided. Breakfast was okay, average. Sausages nice but juice awful.

This review is for the restaurant only not the hotel. We were greeted by a friendly experienced waitress but she must of finished her shift. The girls who were left ignored us and didn t thank us for our visit or payment. Not worth mentioning the food.

Excellent situation right opposite Euston station and very close to the British Museum and British Library. Rooms are clean and well appointed, but ours had noise from the air conditioning pipes outside. The bed was too firm for me, might suit some. Friendly service. Good breakfast.

Brilliant hotel with very lovely staff. The bedroom was spacious and well kitted out - although could have done with a few more tea bags and bigger mugs. Overall a very enjoyable stay in a fantastic location!

A budget hotel in the heart of London. It is clean and the facilities are not bad, but it is small and there is no refrigerator in the common room. Only basic facilities are available for restrooms. It is small but the bathroom door is made of opaque glass, but it is family or very close person or privacy .. It is close to Ustaun station and bus right in front of hotel and it is 10 times passing through the city .. Not so bad,

It is very close and convenient to Euston Station and walkable - 25 minutes - to West End and Covent Garden.

Staff are friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable.

The rooms and bathrooms are small but manageable - it's London though and you get what you pay for. Overall I thought it was fine. Free Internet but was very slow - upgrade options for a fee.

Amazing hotel, ideal location, beautiful room , clean and comfy bed, staff very friendly and especially bar staff who made us welcome. Breakfast was plentiful and well presented. Definitely will come back.

Lovely hotel in a great location. Only a short walk from the British museum and library if you want something cultural and vibrant Soho, Oxford Circus and regent Street if your more into shopping or looking for places to eat and drink. The rooms are of a good size and well decorated. Staff are friendly and the afternoon tea is delicious.

narrow. But the location is good. Breakfast varies by price, but you can't eat sausages or bacon if you've got a cheap gel (basic). You can eat processed meats and fruit cereal cheese. The shower is fixed to the wall so you can refer to it. The location is good, but there is a fire station nearby, and the sirens are very loud. The price is a bit vague

Rooms are ok if not a little small and basic. I can't believe they are charging for wifi faster than an extremely slow e-mail only download speed. On site restaurant is ridiculously expensive for what's on offer.

London often has very worn hotels but this is an exception.
The hotel is fresh and the rooms very clean. Like most hotels in London, the beds are very small, as is this hotel. However, the breakfast at the hotel is very expensive and I recommend buying breakfast outside. Much cheaper and tastier.

A very special weekend in London - attending a Maths Emporium, but had a great time at the Ambassador. Great location - within walking distance of all the special London attractions. Worth the visit.

If I could, I would give this 0 stars. I visited the hotel to attend a comedy performance that they were hosting, by The London Comedy Club. I was thoroughly disappointed with the fact the hotel would platform this kind of event. Unfortunately, the comedy night, if you could call it comedy, was dominated by racist, xenophobic and sexist "jokes". To give examples, there were jokes regarding people with mental disabilities and trivialising sexual assaults. This was the overwhelming impression the night left, the jokes lacked intelligence and were grossly outdated. I hope that in future the hotel would screen the events that they allow to perform on the premises.

Rooms small but clean. We didn t really like the frosted glass door on the bathroom which faced the bed though. Restaurant meal was very good. Ideal for the railway as just 7 minutes stroll to Kings Cross.

Our whole experience was totally positive. Fourteen participants of our cultural tour stayed at Ambassadors for a week last summer. The staff worked with me tirelessly for months before the visit to be sure that all the arrangements were perfect. They promised that we would have the best experience, and they totally delivered! They were friendly and genuinely caring; food, and all services were excellent! We will be certainly stay again!

My stay has mixed reviews. Firstly, the staff are helpful and it was easy to check in/out & the bed was quite comfortable. However, my room was disappointing. The room was tiny, and needs a real face lift. No mirror above the (worlds smallest) dressing table and the bathroom didn't feel particularly clean. I couldn't sleep due to the noise outside as I was above a pub & sirens going off all night.

Two stars because of awesome location. The hotel itself was not good. Really really bad complementary wifi, hard beds, very small rooms, no breakfast included, bathroom was a glass box with a swinging shower door as the bathroom door, elevator was out of service when we arrived, there was someone s belongings that had been left behind still on the floor in our room!! Costumer service was 2stars ...but there was complementary coffee in the room. There s an amazing homemade pizza joint around the corner called Pizza Sophia which is an absolute MUST!

We went for a long weekend over a bank holiday. The hotel itself was very clean and welcoming and the staff were absolutely lovely. The rooms were small but that's what you would expect in the city centre. The breakfast itself was amazing, it sets you up tight for the day.

Nice decor and great location. The room was nicely done, it was small but functional. Nice ensure, again small but functional. Nice touches on the room. However was the 1st floor and at the front of the building. So really noisy. Slept with earplugs and still noisy. Shame there is not secondary glazing. Breakfast was excellent. Staff ask really pleasant.

Our stay was quite pleasant although we where disappointed by the check in. It took over an hour because they managed to give us the wrong type of room. The room had a disappointing view and we would probably not stay here again.

The single room was claustrophobically small and I requested to switch to the double room (twice as big, still not great). The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately, the room felt very old, not super clean, wifi was sloooow, couldn't figure out how to switch off one of the lights so had to sleep with a flight blindfold.
Overall I wouldn't come back here and would not recommend...
