I enjoyed my stay at The Bedford. The staff was excellent. The breakfast offered a variety of options. The room and common areas were clean. There are some restaurants and stores nearby. I appreciated the water refill option. A small gym would make it even better.

Wonderful hotel, clean, staff could not do enought. Reasonably priced food and drinks for centeral London. Easy to walk to main attractions. Beautiful out door soace with pond and fountain. Due to a abnormal heat wave in London the rooms were extremely hot, dispite being provided with a fan, the heat disrupted my sleep, but not the hotels fault.

Portable fan in the room was a necessity for June hot weather. Street facing room had windows that only slightly opened. Otherwise a lovely hotel with comfortable beds, clean bathroom, lovely lobby, easy and secure luggage dropoff and a beautiful restaurant with a garden.

Good clean hotel. However staff lacked attention to detail. Left only 1 (quarter sized) chocolate in room with 2 people staying. Had to ask for facecloths daily. Was there for 7 nights and thought they would have figured that out by the second night. Reception was helpful but couldn’t make a decision or in some cases wasn’t informed or empowered, as questions always had to refer to someone else.
