    More variety at breakfast. Majority of dishes on offer were egg based. As a non egg eater, had to eat breakfast at local cafes etc.

    We loved the place: the staff is friendly and helpful, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was well stocked and pamepring. We really appreciated the bottles of milk for the coffee - such an upgrade! Many wrote here before me about the location, and it is indeed fantastic: so central and yet in a quiet alley, no noise from the street, plenty of restaurants around, easy access to transportation... Perfect!

    Fabulous location and comfy bed in the middle of the city

    The location is excellent! You're in the middle of the city walking distance to Convent Garden, Picadilly, Regent Street etc. But the hotel itself is quiet and cozy. Speaking of cozy I did book the cozy room for myself which was absolutely fab. And I guess for London standards it was quite big. Would be a bit too cozy for my taste to share with someone. The breakfast was delicious and the staff very kind, friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again!

    The breakfast service was not good at all. The table we were shown to was not fully laid and we were left waiting a long time before being asked for our order. The eggs and toast were very overcooked and the bacon undercooked and very fatty.

    The location and the comfort.

    Nothing

    I’ve stayed here several times and love the hotel and especially the staff. Comfortable and spacious rooms, a variety of eating spots (breakfast room, outdoor dining at Mrs. Dalloway, the stunning bar The Coral Room, and the cozy basement bar which features live music), the kindest staff imaginable and the central location. Two minutes from Tottenham Court tube station and Oxford Street. Ten minutes from Covent Garden and the West End. Rooms are stocked with kettle, nespresso coffee machine, a selection of coffee and teas, and a mini bar. Also, there are bathrobes and slippers.

    The Bloomsbury Hotel emphasized great service and style. The room was clean and nice. The Coral Room, Dalloway Terrace, the jazz bar downstairs, and the lovely green sitting room were all quite lovely. The art and ambiance are quite special. The location is in walking distance to quite a bit. The hotel food is very good. The staff were exceptionally friendly, always offering assistance.

    No complaints at all

    Location was great for what we wanted - short walk from theatre land and 2 mins from nearest tube station. We didn't eat there but that's a personal choice we always prefer to go out for dinner and breakfast. The staff were excellent from the moment we arrived until we left. Always on hand and very friendly and accommodating.

    The inconsistency niggles. We booked a deluxe double only to be told there technically is no deluxe double. Only king or queen. The room was tiny. Really only suitable for single occupancy in terms of room to get dressed, sit and eat etc. the last time this happened we were upgraded for free. This time we were upgraded ( although arguably “upgrade” is incorrect as we were just given the room we originally expected and have had when booking the same standard of room in the past) and my understanding from the final bill is this was more expensive. Which is absolutely fine. I would ultimately rather have a nice room. But this price difference was not explicitly outlined to us when we moved rooms. I’m sure for some guests this would make quite a difference and should probably be discussed. Also on our last visit the taps were plumbed incorrectly- scalding hot water from the cold tap. I made the hotel aware of this and they said on our next visit we would be given 2 complimentary cocktails. We were not. We were given 2 vouchers for sparkling wine because of the room mix up. But neither of us drink wine and so we didn’t use them. We had delicious cocktails in The Coral Room as planned anyway, and it’s not a huge thing so I didn’t want to mention it as I’d already complained about the room! But it’s just the instances of inconsistency. Ultimately I just wish that the rooms shown on booking.com reliably showed the standard and size of room. As over the years booking a “deluxe double” has provided varying standards of actual room. Which is frustrating. Maybe this is a booking.com issue. Overall though despite this looong ramble…. The staff are just wonderful and helpful and treat guests as though they are the most special things to walk through the door! Which everyone loves to feel! Food and cocktails are superb. It really is our favourite London hotel.

    We love this hotel for its location, decor, friendly staff. We will continue to visit this hotel despite having family we can stay with in London.
