The Staff were very professional, friendly and warm and we felt really welcomed. The location is very central and yet surprisingly quiet. It was very cold weather for our trip but the room was extremely cosy, inviting, well equipped and warm. The food and the cocktails were great. We would definitely stay at The Bloomsbury again.

Incredible Hotel & Outstanding Staff

Among the hotels that I never want to check out of, this one is numero uno! I left a non refundable stay at another area hotel to move to Bloomsbury, and then convinced the rest of my traveling party to move as well, all this after experiencing only 5 mins at Bloomsbury. The reception blew me away, the bell team, Shannon, Bella, and Sushaina were the kindest people I’ve encountered recently in my hotel stays. The rooms were immaculate and comfortable. The bars and restaurants were amazing as well.

I really like how everyone called me by my name. Also the mule wine was complimentary by the lounge next to the fireplace was very nice to enjoy as a guest. I also loved the turn down at night. It was so nice to have everything ready for me before bed time. I will be back.

I liked the hotel. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The food was good, as well. The problem I had is that Citi Bank told me that Bloomsbury was a "Red-Alert" Hotel, and they warned me about fraudulent practices, so it left me feeling uncertain the entire stay.
