"Great location, small hotel feel about the place. Friendly and helpful staff, "

A one nigtht stay in a standard double room we did not eat at the hotel. A comfortable double room with a high ceiling made the room airy and light. Very clean and well presented but in need of some TLC re decor. I would stay there again as great location for sightseeing and it had a warm and friendly atmosphere.

"Nice clean hotel"

I stayed at the Bloomsbury Park just for the one night, I found the hotel very noisy with the traffic outside even though my room was actually down the side of the hotel & not on the main road. We asked the hotel to arrange for a taxi to take us out for the evening which turned out to be the most expensive taxi ride just to take us a mile down the road so I would recommend to get your own. The room was clean & tidy and ticked all the boxes, breakfast was exceptionally good. I would recommend this hotel however it wasn`t cheap!

"A pleasant stay for a Saturday nights"

We were able to store our luggage with the bell captain in a secured room while we went to our shows during the day. The reception was friendly, easily found our reservation, and though could not check us in as it was too early, was friendly and professional. On our return, the evening receptionist was just as friendly and professional, and promptly gave us our key cards, and even offered to help us with our luggage. Our room was just as we wished, a double bed, and quiet corner. The street noises were minimal, even for the second floor. Earplugs also helped. Though buffet breakfast was offered at the restaurant below, we did not take up the offer GRB10 pre-reserved, or GRB15 for adults without reservations. It looked like a rather extensive spread. We would stay again, however, with more advance booking, as our rates were about double what is normal due to the soccer tournament with Barcelona vs UK.

"good location near tube station"

Nice welcome from receptionist and was helpful with tube and street maps. Room was a little bit small as was the bed. Bathroom clean and tidy. But it was what i expected for the price. No more than five minutes walk from tube station.

"Rooms not well tended staff rude rooms small and dull."

Well placed hotel the room was clean but very small and dull. Tea and coffee not topped up. Kettle not working. Lift out of order no member of staff offered to take bags to the room. 1 member of reception staff was rude to my partner calling him foreign when in fact he was from abroad himself. Would not recommed or stay again myself. Disappointing for a special weekend away.

"Clean, comfortable and affordable"

This was the first time we had stayed at the hotel, and were a little anxious to see why it was so much cheaper than other nearby hotels. We were very plesantly suprised when we arrived, the reception staff were friendly, our room was spacious clean and comfortable with a nice bathroom and large TV! The hotel was located close to both Russel Square and Holgate tube stations and in easy walking distance of covent garden and Leicester square. When we checked out, the hotel was happy to hang onto our bags for us until our train time at no extra charge. We would efinitely stay here again

"Pleased we choose Bloomesbury Park"

Comfortable and clean also very well placed for the Covant Garden area. Very good value for the online price. Would be happy to stop agian. As is our usual practice we didn`t have the very expensive breakfast, especially as there was a nearby cafe at 1/3rd the price!

"Excellent location, average rooms"

The staff were friendly at check in. the room was what you`d expect from a london hotel that`s not breaking the bank to stay at. The hotel is in a good position for sight seeing with plenty of accesible attractions in walking distance. a bit noisy but anywhere in london would be.

"Very nice hotel great spot for sight seeing"

Reception and public areas of the hotel were lovely. Room 503 and bed linen smelled of stale cigarettes. Room was a good size and comfortable but very bland in decor. Needs the shower cubicle sorting out. The shower curtain was way too short about 6 inches too high. All the water overflowed onto the bathroom floor. Very nice staff.
