had a truly wonderful stay at The Bloomsbury Hotel. The room was absolutely beautiful—elegantly designed and incredibly comfortable, Every detail felt thoughtful and luxurious. What really made the stay unforgettable, though, was the customer service. Every member of staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, going out of their way to make me feel welcome and looked after.

Staff from the restaurant/bar felt the need to loudly tip out all the glass several times through the night. Very poor night sleep as a result. They could have just done it once or saved it until morning. Very inconsiderate.

The property and staff were warm and inviting. The restaurants and lounges felt comfotrtable and gorgeous. Our room was not as pictured and felt more like a chain hotel without any charm - dissapointing for the price.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We’ve stayed here twice and enjoyed the stay both times. The common areas—the lounge, the Corral Room, and the speakeasy—are all great. The service is very friendly and fantastic. The hotel is centrally located for doing a lot in London & you can walk to many destinations. The rooms both times were small. Our only really complaint is that the bathrooms were too small and there was very limited counter space. This made getting ready in the morning more challenging than it should be.
