I quite liked the location of this hotel, the room was really nice and the reception and concierge were very good. However this hotel is really let down by the restaurant. I ate there for 5 breakfasts and two dinners and other than the pleasant Philippino waiter the rest of the staff were either rude or incompetent or both and... More

The Bloomsbury Hotel met my expectations for a central London 4 star Hotel. Check in was fast and easy, had some issue with the cleaning of the room ( they forgot to do it) and even though I called to remind them when I was back from my day of walking the room was the same. Gym and facilities were... More

Stayed here for 4 nights. As a third guest in the room, they assured me on the phone that my bed would be big enough, but instead it ended up being a pretty tiny one with no room for my feet, so I had quite uncomfortable sleeps. I Was offered a separate room but with a surcharge, so I declined.... More

Excellent service from arrival to departure. The staff were attentive throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a very comfortable double room with all the amenities required for a short stay. The food was excellent. The breakfast on offer was a fantastic variety to suit all tastes. There was even fresh papaya. I recommend this hotel as... More

Despite being only a 100 metres from Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street this hotel is a quiet haven away from the hustle and bustle. From the moment you walk into the candlelit reception you feel relaxed. Staff are friendly and check in is efficient. Rooms are a good size and the bar and restaurant are never busy or loud.... More

This hotel excels itself in every way. Amazing service from the moment we entered the doors, concierge was just what you'd expect. We didn't have chance to try any of the dinner service but breakfast was adequate, full English or continental available. The room was clean, maybe a little small but it was big enough for what we needed. Bathroom... More
