The hotel was moderately priced and situated in an excellent area near Russell Square with easy access to the British Museum and many parts of the University of London. It was very well maintained. I stayed in a single room that was extremely well equipped with plenty of storage although a rather tiny bathroom.

Brilliant.

Stayed here due to going to a concert. Had a lovely stay, breakfast was amazing. Everyone was so polite and friendly. Exceptionally clean. Had to wait a little while for our room to be ready but I didn’t mind that so much. Walk to Euston station wasn’t that bad - due to Russell Square being closed temporarily. Only thing I would have to complain about is no air conditioning or fans available but this is a personal thing due to me love sleeping in the cold.

Have stayed in the Bedford many times. All staff courteous and friendly, very helpful. Hotel looking rather tired and worn compared to others in the area. Stayed in Rm 433 this time nd was rather disappointed with the en-suite though it was very clean and tidy the bath and shower were not really up to the standard I have come to expect from The Bedford.
