Enjoyed 2 nights. Staff very friendly and attentive. Was given an excellent room with huge bed. Everything clean and pleasant. The public rooms are minimal with bar adjoining small restaurant / breakfast area but this is excellent as a good tourist hotel, reasonably priced. Would stay again. Close to Russell Square tube but also an easy walk to British Museum... More

I think its important to note first that this is a three star hotel and was fairly serviced for that level. However, this means, single glazed wooden windows facing a busy and noisy road and pub, and a lack of air conditioning meaning you cant keep the windows closed AND be cool. Grumpily I trudged downstrairs for breakfast and was... More

My daughter and I have just returned from a mini-break in London. We chose the Thistle Bloosmbury Park hotel as a result of other tripadvisor comments and we weren't disappointed. The Bloomsbury lived up to our expectations, we had a lovely quiet room, with bay window looking out on to the busy Southampton Row, which is just a short walk... More

I had booked an overnight stay in Early May 2013, on arrival we were offered a twin room instead of a double at the back of the hotel where it would be quieter, we accepted that with alacrity and had a good nights sleep. The room was not large and I don't think we would want to stay for more... More

We stayed here for only one night and although the room was adequate for this this length of time, would have been problematic if booked for longer. The room and bathroom were clean - although required a refurbishment. The real problem was the traffic noise - very difficult to sleep. Bed was also, as advertised, a standard double - so... More

I was booked here thru my travel agent and felt very comfortable even though I was travelling alone. Th rooms were clean the staff friendly, and the breakfast more than adequate.
