Situated within 700 metres of British Museum and 1.1 km of Euston Station in the centre of London, Cleveland Residences Russell Square features accommodation with free WiFi and a kitchenette. The property is set 1.3 km from Royal Opera House, 1.6 km from Arts Theatre and 1.3 km from King's Cross Station. The accommodation offers a lift, full-day security and luggage storage for guests.

The location is superb! Just around the corner from Russell Square underground station. Super easy to find in an amazing neighborhood. We were happily and warmly greeted by John who showed us around the property. The room was perfect! Warm and cozy. Little fridge, stove, microwave and everything you need to prepare your own meals! There's a laundry room where all you need to have is detergent/pods and you are good to go! Everything was brand new and it looked like the the whole place had recently been remodeled. I believe we could not have asked for more!
