The staff were all exceptional. Our only complaint is the floors in our room were LOUD. The wood under the carpet creaked loudly with every single step which would wake anyone trying to sleep.

I think the location lets this hotel down. The entrance is behind the dominion theatre and so you effectively enter via a side street. I think it is over priced for the location and experience.

This is a beautiful hotel located steps from the British Museum. The staff are all incredibly polite and welcoming. It’s off the main road so a much quieter atmosphere

The hotel was in a central location, and we felt very welcome. The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. We enjoyed reading by the fireplace on the first floor. It was in a great location and public transport very closeby.

Incredible location, wonderful staff—every single employee we encountered seemed to love his/her job and seemed genuinely interested in making our stay as perfect as possible. One suggestion: get an a la carte menu for the breakfast, not everyone wants the complete meal and shouldn’t have to pay for it.

This was our second stay at The Bloomsbury. It was AMAZING, again! The staff was friendly and helpful, and even gave us complimentary drink coupons to the Bloomsbury Club, which was relaxing! The room was comfortable and very clean! Breakfast was amazing as usual! We love the freshly pressed apple juice, and freshly squeezed orange and grapefruit juices! Twice, we've ended our UK/European trip this way, and we'll continue to do so! Five stars!
