I can’t believe how wonderful our stay at The Bloomsbury was. The location is perfect, just a 3 minute walk to at least 2 tube stations and near shopping, pubs and attractions. The staff were incredible especially Andrew and Ivan, the 2 bars were fantastic. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful, charming stay in London

Gorgeous Hotel, Small Rooms, Isolated Front Entry

The hotel is gorgeous. The most basic room is quite small with little space to walk around the double bed. Also, the front of the hotel is set back from the street. When walking back alone at night, you can feel quite isolated approaching the main entrance from the street. Staff very accommodating and friendly.

excellent hotel, I would definitely return. Excellent location, luxurious rooms, the bathroom is a bit narrow and too small for me. I need to add money for a king bed . very expensive breakfast. We asked for a late check-out the management asked for 150 pounds for 4 hours. Excessive in my opinion

The Heart of London.

The Bloomsbury is absolutely beautiful. London grace and luxury without being stuffy. The bed was a bit soft for our taste though, but the turndown service etc. is wonderful.

All the staff was courteous, friendly and extremely helpful. The front desk personnel and the concierge went above and beyond to arrange excursions, transportation and give directions. The doormen were always cheerful and there to assist. The breakfast staff made the mornings a joy. I would not stay anywhere else in London.

Beautiful cosy hotel

Beautifully decorated hotels. The 'cosy' rooms are quite dark and small so please reset your expectations. Nevertheless, the common area eg reception and bars were a highlight - luxurious yet cosy and the small touches eg mulled wine, jazz nights made up for the small rooms. The quality of the breakfast could be better, but I guess acceptable for London standard.
