3* not 4* It will take more than a room upgrade to bring this hotel to four star quality

"Great Hotel, Great Location" I stayed 2 nights at this hotel on 9th & 10th October and loved it. I splashed out and booked an Executive room through lastminute and it was worth it. I arrived at about 1pm and my room was ready - the Executive rooms are in their own wing, my room had a huge king size bed, music system, tea and coffee facilities and a fridge which was great for storing milk - I drink a lot of tea! There was also complimentary water. The room was exceptionally clean with a duvet on the bed, much nicer than blankets. The bathroom was very clean, good water pressure in the shower, Gilchrist & Soames toileteries. There was no view from the window, I over looked other buildings but I certainly didn't come to London to look out of my window. There was no outside noise and it was lovely and quiet. The room had its own air conditioning unit which was useful - I found the hotel very warm (as was London) and it was great to put the air con on and keep it on low all night. Being in the Executive wing I had a turn down service at night with chocolates on the bed! I had breakfast at the hotel which was great. Tea, coffee and toast were served at the table by the staff but everything else was buffet and there was a very good selection. The location of the hotel is excellent - in between Holborn and Russell Square tube stations and within walking distance of Kings Cross and St Pancras. I spent a lot of time walking from the hotel - Covent Garden, Charing Cross, Leicester Square etc. In the evening i went to the theatre to see Evita (excellent!) which was in the Strand and it took me less than 10 minutes to walk back to the hotel - and I felt quite safe walking back on my own. There are lots of restaurants and food shops in the area - can recommend Il Fornello - out of the hotel and turn right and it's less than a one minute walk. I would recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again.

"Excellent Stay at a Great Hotel" I stayed at the Bonington for 6 nights in October. The room was a single standard, yes it was small, but it was very comfy, the bathroom was squeaky clean and modern and the room service was excellent and very welcome on the evening I used it. I found the room on Expedia, but booked through my local travel agent. Full breakfast was included and had everything you could possibly want, all fresh and served buffet style in their dining room. Convenient to two tube stations and buses right outside the door. I will definitely stay here again, and I enjoyed a room that faced the front. A few minutes walk to the front door of the British Museum. Concierge service was excellent, as were the early morning transfers they arranged for me to and from the airport...a little expensive but so worth it! I paid £89 per night and have no complaints. Also loved the Starbucks and the two pubs practically right next door :-))
