Super Impressed

Honestly, was taken back by just how attentive the staff where. It stood out so much, we spoke about it alot. Coming from `Dubai, were service level is high, its normally hard to feel it matched. But every member of staff here honestly were amazing. I wouldn't even say they went above and beyond, because that sounds like effort, although they did, it all seemed natural and unforced. They would greet us, no matter what time of the day, if they saw us around the hotel, asking how we were. They helped me sort things for my wife's birthday, and didnt't just have a porter knock and drop things off, staff turned up with a huge smile on their face and a proper conversation, wishing her a happy birthday. Honestly, every little bit was just more than we would expect. The cocktail bar was lovely, the rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable The staff who would greet you at the front, where there most down to earth, and helpful guys. From luggage sorting, greeting, to taxi sorting. I honestly could go on and on- but we have been super super impressed, would highly recommend, and the location is bang on the main high street to access anything you may also need.

My stay in May was my third time at The Bloomsbury. It's a lovely, comfortable hotel in a great location. But the best part is the staff, who are all helpful, friendly, and very accessible. I have to give special call-out to the staff in the breakfast room. They are, to a person, terrific! And, the coffee served is the best. It's a great way to start your day in London!

If I ever return to London I will stay at the Bloomsbury. The location is excellent, the restaurant was very convenient, the porters and room staff are very helpful. The room was comfortable (we were upgraded when we checked in!). I don't have a photo of the hotel itself but it is very close to a nice shopping area and the British Museum.
