I stayed here because of the location (close to the office for my business trip), but I have to say that I would gladly come back on vacation any time! The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming. My room was not big by any standards, but was beautifully decorated - the modern decor somehow works with the historical atmosphere, the... More

The Bloomsbury is a lovely hotel very near the British Museum. The staff is polite and helpful--more than willing to go the extra mile to accommodate requests. The lobby is fitted out attractively with comfortable chairs and couches; it readily attracts guests, who read their papers, have a cup of tea or a glass of wine or just chat. The... More

I enjoyed my stay at The Bloomsbury Hotel. The location is excellent: within walking distance of Soho and Covent Garden, and close to cultural attractions such as the British Museum. My room wasn't huge, but was a good size for London; the bed was comfortable, with nice linens. Staff were pleasant and eager to please.

Beautiful hotel owned by the Doyle's. Fast check in, the staff was attentive and pleasant. The room was nicely appointed with a large marble bath. The breakfast buffet and menu on the ground floor was ample and delicious, especially the omelet and waffles! Also, great location close to the British museum.
