Top Bloomsbury Hotel Reviews

Alhambra Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location by St Pancras, British Library, etc. We old people were given a ground floor rather than third floor room without asking. The room was beautifully cleaned and refreshed on the second day. Staff are all brilliant. A reasonable cost for the room. The area is vibrant but not noisy. We highly recommend this hotel. A little jewel in the crown that is London."

President Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, nice twin room with a third bed for 2 adults and a young child. Fantastic breakfast. Very friendly staff, particularly the guy at the luggage room. One minor annoyance at check-in was the person requesting to see my passport because we are from Northern Ireland. I happen to have one with my but he didn't seem to be able to grasp that (whether you agree with it or not) Northern Ireland is part of the UK and you should treat those guests the same way you do guests from Scotland, England and Wales."

Tavistock Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent place to land in London after a redeye flight. Easy to get to from Heathrow. Very comfortable king bed, good shower, and if you get a park-view room up high, the branches of great trees wave at you from right across the street. The park itself is wonderfully walkable, as is the neighborhood which offers excellent Indian food and access to the British Library and more. And the hotel has an elevator to help you get there! The toiletries had a pleasant scent (this is super rare in our experience) and the optional breakfast buffet was excellent. Finally, the staff could not be more kind and helpful. The only funny bit was the bathroom sink faucet: it didn't quite reach the basin, so water flowed over onto the floor every time we tried to use it. So while the hotel could use a bit of updating, still highly recommended and we'd love to come again."

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

8/10 Good

"My first two nights I was in an older room. There wasn’t even a coffee pot that was a bit of a bummer. Lots of noise and construction going on all night long the rooms without air-conditioning. You have to open up the window so it’s very noisy. Cute little bar and café on site. I moved to another room for two more nights, and that was a much better room higher up with air-conditioning bigger and worth the extra cost. With all that being said, it’s all about location, location, location, and this one has it. There’s a Mark and Spencer‘s right across the street shopping pharmacy and all the food restaurants, pubs, music, plays and comedy clubs all a 10 minute walk."

Gresham Hotel Bloomsbury

8/10 Good

"Context matters a great deal. A positive review of the Gresham does not mean this is the accommodation for everyone. This is not a fancy hotel. This is not a particularly comfortable hotel. This a definitely not an hotel for anyone with mobility issues or someone who thinks sharing a bathroom with other guests is a non-starter. But the Gresham worked for my needs. I simply needed a place to sleep for one night during a quick trip to London. I arrived late and left early. The reception was friendly. The room had a shiny new floor. The in-room sink was clean. The staff thoughtfully put us on a floor with no other guests, so I didn't really have to share the bathroom with anyone. I also liked the charming Bloomsbury Street location. So this hotel is fine for someone who thinks of their accommodation a simple, clean place to sleep. On that level, the Gresham staff exceeds fully."
