I love this hotel. It has a perfect location, in Bloomsbury, near the British Museum and a block from the subway/ tube (on the Piccadilly line, which goes to Heathrow airport). The staff is friendly and the rooms are pretty (though, as in many London hotels, there’s no air conditioning). If you don’t feel like paying for breakfast, there’s a Pret on the corner. Plus apparently the Beatles liked to stay here; you can’t get better than that.

Not coming back

Room was clean and tidy if smaller than led to believe from the pictures, the queen size bed would be sold as a single in most new hotels now, no air conditioning in hot London summer meant a very bad night's sleep, small fan did little to help, Housekeeping letting themselves in at 6am before quickly leaving was unwelcome to say the least. Overall acceptable but will not be coming back.

Noises, stuffy and rip off bar price

Hotel was nice but our room was at the rear of the hotel, no air conditioning so had to have the windows out as it was very warm and stuffy. The hotel’s extractor was on the whole night and was extremely noisy causing a lack of sleep due to noise and heat, be aware the drinks in the bar are extremely expensive and a surcharge is added without telling you, these were the most expensive 2 drinks in the whole London visit at nearly £18 for a single rum and coke and a pint of beer.

We had a room at the hotel rear, constant noise from kitchen fans? Also major reconstruction of hotel next door, so extremely noisy & dusty from early. Dust even set off smoke alarms so hotel was evacuated!

I failed to notice the hotel rooms are not air conditioned. This is completely my fault. Unfortunately we didn’t notice this until checking in and the hotel let us cancel and only charged us one night stay. My frustration is with two points around this issue (1) any hotel in a major city in 2025 that does not feature air conditioned rooms should include a banner or reminder in the booking sequence to confirm with customers, and (2) during the check in process on a very hot day after flying in from New York the guest services agent asked if we needed anything to make our stay enjoyable and (as she worked on our check in), and my answer was as long as the AC has the room ice cold and its quiet we’ll be fine as we didnt sleep on a red-eye flight and were hot and tired…. She kind of had a panicked look and the girl she was training couldn’t hold back an uncomfortable chuckle. I didn’t think anything of it until I walked into the room… No AC, open window facing out to the neighboring buildings construction site. Again. Completely on me for selecting a place that does not include AC. But there’s got to be a better way.

I had a course at the 'de vere grande', a 10 minute walk from the president. The location is good. Lots of restaurants in the area. The room has no air conditioning and no refrigerator, and it was a very hot week. There is a fan available in the room which made it bearable. Part of the problem was the traffic outside that caused a lot of racket, so the windows had to be closed in order to sleep. The room was clean and cleaned daily, the bed was a bit small but good.

The hotel was located close to the Tube and had quick access to lots of options for dining and a Tesco Express around the corner. The problem was that there is major construction happening which causes a lot of noise and there is also no air conditioning which has made the summer heat unbearable when trying to sleep at night. I would not stay here during the summer heat.

The hotel was nice but pretty uncomfortable with no AC in the room. We were told upon check-in that we could get an additional fan for the room but then when we requested one we were told that they only provided one per room. They offered to come and fully open the window at about 3PM but then didn't show up to open it until 9:45PM. There is also construction going on behind the building that was pretty loud during the day.
