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.
