Good for an inexpensive short stay. The single room was small, but that's fine. It was a little worn but clean and comfortable, and quiet. The breakfast was good, and the breakfast staff were friendly and helpful. Very good value for money.

The Hotel was overall very good, Cleanliness and Service was excellent, breakfast was first class, it is an older building therefore some of the decor and structure was dated, but for us it did not detract from our stay. Booking was easy and cost was reasonable.

The house, staff, and area were great! But the bed was super uncomfortable and room very cramped. There is a metal door stop in the middle of the room and I tripped and stubbed my toes multiple times. It should be covered or tv moved something! The breakfast in the morning was delicious and we had good service. Just a few things that could be improved.

Telling it like it is!

Arrived just after 2:15 and the room was not ready. No where to wait so had to go off for coffee. Staff were very polite, nice and V hard working. Room was at the top of the building. Room was reasonable size but the bathroom very small but this is the nature of an old building conversion. Breakfast was great, good thick bacon, nice cook on the eggs. Dining room is not big, tables small and people have to wait at times. But, for the price this was very good value and well located for access to the city. We would stay again.

This hotel is about 15 minutes flat walk from The Palace Theatre, Soho. We stayed for one night after seeing Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Check-in was staffed by a friendly chap, and we were able to leave our case as we arrived early but wanted to get some lunch before part 1 started at 2pm. We had an ‘executive room’ (#7) on the lower level, which overlooked a small inner courtyard, but didn’t have direct access to the outside space. There were two single and a double bed, a small wardrobe, fridge freezer and microwave and just enough space to move around. The ensuite shower room was small but functional. The beds were fairly comfortable and the room was reasonably clean (just a few cobwebs had been missed). It was surprisingly quiet and we all slept fairly well. The room was showing it’s age. Number 7 is next to the small breakfast room. As vegetarians, we had a reasonable selection and the food was fine. However, service was fairly chaotic. My husband received the wrong cereal, although both dairy and non-dairy milks were available, which was welcome. The main issue was that our hot dishes were brought out well before we’d finished our cereal. As the tables are very small, there was no room for anything else. My husband held my hot dish while I hurriedly ate my cereal, as the server wasn’t going to take the hot dishes back. Not a relaxed start to Sunday. Good location & reception, but the hotel needs a refresh & better management at breakfast.

I checked out after one night due to many issues with the room. I was very disappointed to find a hair on the toilet seat and hair in the shower when I arrived. There was also a blood or feces stain on one of the towels. The toilet only occasionally flushed. The shower continuously dripped so the floor was constantly wet. There were stains on the walls by the bed and the room smelled like urine. I woke up the next morning with many bites on my body. I found a bug in the bed. Upon looking at google reviews it seems that the hotel has had an ongoing bed bug infestation. I did not feel safe staying at the hotel so I booked somewhere else. I sent messages to the property manager that were ignored so I went back to the property to speak to reception. They said the manager would get back to me. I got a message saying they didn’t find any evidence of any of the issues mentioned and wouldn’t issue a refund even though I didn’t stay at the property. Thank goodness I took pictures and videos to prove what they denied. Expedia was able to review and issue a refund. Beware of booking this property!!! I stayed somewhere else that was close in price but exponentially better. Regency house was about $100 per night and the Bedford hotel was $140. Well worth $120 to stay somewhere safe and so much better for the rest of my trip!
