The staff simply couldn't do enough to help us; they were pleasant, kind, helpful and well presented. A staff member in the Coral Room took us downstairs to the Bloomsbury Bar to see if she could get us a table. All the front of house staff were excellent. It made the entire stay one of the best hotel experiences we've ever had, literally anywhere in the world. The room itself we stayed in on the second floor was a delight. In the evening we even obtained resupplies from the room night service. We slept like a dream during the one night of our stay as the noise from outside the hotel is almost none existent, surprising considering you are sixty Street.seconds walk from Tottenham Court Road and Oxford. All in all this is an outstanding hotel, with superb staff that comes highly recommended.

had a truly wonderful stay at The Bloomsbury Hotel. The room was absolutely beautiful—elegantly designed and incredibly comfortable, Every detail felt thoughtful and luxurious. What really made the stay unforgettable, though, was the customer service. Every member of staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, going out of their way to make me feel welcome and looked after.

Staff from the restaurant/bar felt the need to loudly tip out all the glass several times through the night. Very poor night sleep as a result. They could have just done it once or saved it until morning. Very inconsiderate.

We’ve stayed here twice and enjoyed the stay both times. The common areas—the lounge, the Corral Room, and the speakeasy—are all great. The service is very friendly and fantastic. The hotel is centrally located for doing a lot in London & you can walk to many destinations. The rooms both times were small. Our only really complaint is that the bathrooms were too small and there was very limited counter space. This made getting ready in the morning more challenging than it should be.
