Happy to have been there.
Good location and plenty of food choices around. North of the city center, but still easy to get to all the sites and tours. Get a room on the north or east side, as there is a party place with a lot of noise, sometimes, on the west.

Location beats all
The location is spectacular. There's no doubt it is an old hotel. I believe they are renovating it, slowly. Housecleaning was spotty (clean towels, made bed, but no surfaces wiped down...)

In the heart of the Big Smoke
This location is wonderful between Tottenham Court Road, Euston, KingsX/St Pancras and the British Museum. Although a busy street during the day, super quiet at night, and my room overlooked the square. Modern updated bathrooms make up for the older building. Bed was comfy, and towels fluffy.

The Tavistock provided us with a clean, comfortable room in a convenient part of the city. The staff was outstanding and does a great job. The only negative was that the hotel is located at a very busy intersection with a lot of road noise. Although the weather was good while we were in London we could not keep the window open at night due to the traffic noise.

HOT rooms, but overall pretty good
Nice staff, good location, good breakfast...but the room was so HOT! No AC, and no ventilation, meant it was way too warm in our room, which made it hard to sleep.

Functional
Room was small but functional. The double bed was a small double but it was absolutely fine for one person and one night. The room is a little dated with a 80's style carpet in the room and the bathroom was compact but again, very fine for one night & one person. The staff were lovely and the location is perfect and the room even came with a fan for warm nights so its a solid 3.5/5 in my book.

Lovely and good location.
We had a lovely experience at this hotel. It's conveniently located to Euston station and getting a direct bus to Camden and a lovely 20 min walk to Oxford street, with a lovely park right outside so not as noisy as some parts of central london. Rooms are small but nice enough and clean. No air con though, but there was a fan!
