The Bloomsbury
4.5/5102 Reviews

The Bloomsbury

Bloomsbury London|0.17km from Architectural Association
This was my first time in London. I stayed at the Bloomsbury Hotel and I cannot say enough good things about The Bloomsbury. The hotel was luxurious, my room was immaculate and well appointed. But the best part of the Bloomsbury was the staff, everyone was polite and welcoming and always willing to help. I would be remiss not to give a shout out to Nayeema and Suhaina, the two girls working the front desk who spent an enormous amount of time with me helping to get me checked into my flight back to Arizona, both of them literally walked the extra mile to ensure I was checked in properly. The premium lodgings, plus high-quality staff members e.g. Nayeema and Suhaina insure all of my future business when I visit London. David
Small Luxury Hotels of the World - the Academy
4.1/5110 Reviews

Small Luxury Hotels of the World - the Academy

Bloomsbury London|0.26km from Architectural Association
The photos and website information about The Academy are incredibly deceptive about this boutique hotel. Sounded and looked lovely online and with a middling price of £188.00 per night B&B sounded a good choice for a solo mini trip to London. The reality was incredibly different. The hotel is scruffy and shabby and the loos smell of fish. Sadly, the service was non-existent and not at the level I would expect of a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. I had a single room (which I chose as it was just me) on the ground floor overlooking the courtyard. It as very basic, but adequate and unlike the other reviews, it was quiet (except from the noisy air-con system). The en-suite was tiny, but the shower was reasonably powerful. As many have already mentioned, the room was stiflingly hot, with a small and inadequate air-con unit which struggled with the heat. I can only imagine what it would have been like when we had the 40C heatwave. I struggled to use the remote control device to work the air con and so, at 12.30am in my dressing gown, I went in search of someone to help me. Daniel came into my room and helped me to get the aircon working and it tried its best to cool the room down. By the next day, and with it on 24/7 the room did finally cool down. As someone else has also mentioned the lights from the aircon system lit up the whole room like a disco! The lights outside the room in the corridor also didn't turn off at night and so the room was bathed in a bright white light from outside and red, green and yellow lights from various fuse things in the room. So, once the air-con was working as best as it could, my attention then turned to the lights! I propped open the en-suite door to block out the light from the corridor, and then managed to pin and stuff towels and a spare pillow case over the disco lights to dim the bright glare. As you can imagine, the first night was a bit of a nightmare with not much sleep. Breakfast the next day was good and the staff in The Refectory were the first to greet me with a welcoming smile and were so helpful and attentive. The breakfast (and staff in the Refectory) have saved this review from being the lowest rating of Terrible. I am incredibly disappointed with my two night stay at The Academy and regret staying there. To finish on a positive note, the location was great and easy to walk to all the places that I wanted to walk to. So great location for Soho, Piccadilly, Covent Garden etc, but poor service and a tired and tatty hotel. So, Bloomsbury is super, just choose an alternative hotel.

Chateau Denmark
4.4/543 Reviews

Chateau Denmark

Theatreland London|0.31km from Architectural Association
Quirky, boutique style Hotel in a great location for shopping, theatres etc.. but our experience meant no sleep at all! Unfortunately our room (115, first floor) had a balcony/window which opened right onto an events/club (HERE at Outernet) which has day & night events so non stop continuous noise & queues right outside. Night events going on after 4am so be prepared for no sleep. Not just noisy from the music but from queues of screaming/shouting people right outside. We were assured on arrival that we wouldn't hear anything from our room and it was quiet but sadly this was the complete opposite. We did raise the issue after our first night and considered checking out but again we were reassured there wouldn't be noise as there wasn't an event on that evening. I suppose we shouldn't have trusted it but we did and yet again another sleepless night as there was a night event that hadn't been advertised! It was a rare birthday treat (escaping 2 children) which sadly left us both exhausted but mainly frustrated that staff weren't truthful or overly bothered with helping us. We also had cigarette smoke coming through our Bathroom Saturday morning apparently from a guest smoking in their room! I had to follow up on this issue as again no-one seemed too bothered about it. Im still waiting for a reply from the manager! Couple of other things to note the extra service charge is true - you'll be charged unbeknown from the deposit, no kettle/water/milk in rooms. but these are minor issues compared to getting no sleep which in my opinion is one of the main objectives of a good hotel....
The Mandrake
4.4/578 Reviews

The Mandrake

London|0.34km from Architectural Association
Unusual hotel, the design is very unique and a bit pleasant. The breakfast was very good, although not a buffet, but the quality was very high, better than a five-star hotel. The room is not very big, but the decoration is very beautiful and very comfortable
The London Edition
4.4/575 Reviews

The London Edition

London|0.41km from Architectural Association
The Edison is as good as ever and of such quality. Hotels in London are too expensive, so I booked the cheapest room type. On the downside, there is no view from the window. This hotel has a great feeling, the entrance is very beautiful, but there are many bars around at night, it would be scary to walk on foot. The toiletries are still specially customized by le labo. In the morning, the downstairs smells like coffee, and when you come back at night, it smells like le labo the noir, which is very comfortable. The room is fully equipped, the toilet is fully surrounded by rain, and there is mineral water. The light switch is also very delicate.

Strolling through London in the rain, Piccadilly circus tube station is just a few minutes' walk away, and Chinatown is just a few hundred meters away.
The Dilly
4.3/544 Reviews

The Dilly

Mayfair London|1.05km from Architectural Association
The Dilly was probably amazing in the 1980's and 1990's but not much has been updated since then! We stayed in a Dilly Classic room which was perfectly fine, a good size, clean with strong Wifi. The shower was powerful and there was plenty of hot water. I know some people on this site weren't impressed by the breakfast but I thought it was great. Obviously, the location is fabulous. However, I didn't feel the room was up to five-star standard. The coffee was instant and the milk small UHT cartons. There was no fridge or mini-bar (though we were in the 'cheapest' room so may be different elsewhere). The toiletries were cheap and basic (so bring your own), there was no plug by the bed to charge devices overnight and no Blu-tooth speaker which seems to be a given now in higher-end hotels. The style of the room itself was quite dated including the landline next to the toilet which I'm sure was incredibly cool in 1986 :) Overall, if this was a three-or-four-star hotel I'd give it full marks, but as it's a five-star, (and more importantly charging five-star prices), it's lacking in some areas. I believe the hotel is currently 'between owners' which makes sense, as I guess the current owners don't want to invest and are ticking along until the new ones take over. It's not dreadful by any means, but they charge a lot for what you get.
The Grand at Trafalgar Square
4.1/5105 Reviews

The Grand at Trafalgar Square

London|1.3km from Architectural Association
Good location, right next to Trafalgar Square, next to Tesco express and Macdonald. The hotel room is also large. Friendly service, you can order Chinese food with just eat. The room has a microwave. Hygiene is average, seems gray, and the bathroom has a slight odor. There is no own parking lot. There is a cooperative parking lot on the other side of the square. You can park temporarily at the door and drop your luggage before going to the parking lot. Parking is 44 pounds a day and about 37 pounds with a hotel coupon. There are actually two hotels here, one is grand and the other is cq. I booked grand but lived in Cq. I do n’t know how to arrange it. When the hotel is not busy, it is sold at 7-800, and the price is good. After all, it is close to the Thames and other attractions.

The Ritz London
4.5/564 Reviews

The Ritz London

St James London|1.45km from Architectural Association
Truly an experience. My wife and I brought my mom to London for her 80th birthday, as afternoon tea at The Ritz was still on her bucket list. She had no idea I booked our stay there as well, and the Rolls Royce pickup from the airport. The hotel itself is what you expect, the Luis XVI style common areas and rooms are beautiful, but what really makes the place memorable, are the people. From our first contact with Johan, and our check in with Giacomo, Gavin, Roberto everyone was fantastic throughout our stay. The amount of time that the folks at reception are willing to spend just chatting and sharing stories with you is something you just don't find elsewhere. Many thoughtful interactions with my mom as the whole place seemed to know her big birthday was coming up. It was the experience of a lifetime. Thank you everyone at the Ritz for making it happen.
Club Quarters Hotel St Paul's, London
4.1/5122 Reviews

Club Quarters Hotel St Paul's, London

Bank London|2.1km from Architectural Association
W/End away in London. We were looking for a hotel close to the river Thames & St. Catherine’s Docks inc. Tower Bridge & St. Paul’s Cathedral. Eventually we found the Clubquaters Hotel in St. Paul’s. which was was spot on for location. The hotel was superb, great facilities, inc. a gym. the room was lovely, Reception staff were very helpful. Just off the Reception is a direct link door to the superb Cotes Restaurant, so we could start our day off with a great Full English Breakfast. Yum…Yum it was spot on! The location of the hotel is superb….St. Paul’s Cathedral right next door…a Bell Ring away….the River Thames including the famous Millennium Bridge, a short walk away. Close to St. Paul’s Underground along with city bus stops and numerous extremely convenient shops., couldn’t fault it. Spot on!

Latest booking 21 hrs ago

Staff were very helpful and friendly. I got upgraded free to the refurbished room from the classic room I booked. Small room and bathroom but with great facilities, a window that works and blinds plus curtains that block out the light. A little noisy because of the street down below but not bad. The room had a nice new AC unit and the shower pressure was very strong, maybe a little too strong with no clear way to reduce the pressure (it's either on or off).
Bedford Corner Hotel

Bedford Corner Hotel

Bloomsbury London|0.1km from Architectural Association
Code given to access lift and my room not working, staff had to follow me to my room to let me in. I asked if I can have a new code just in case I need to go out or I get locked out. He said he will get back to me but never. I went downstairs to collect my food delivery after 30mins and bumped into that same staff, he walked past me without even saying sorry or hi. Have to asked the front desk to give me a new code. Lift was a bit glitchy, no free coffee or milk or anything. Everything in the room costs money. Ridiculous
Cheshire Hotel Central London

Cheshire Hotel Central London

Bloomsbury London|0.12km from Architectural Association
Prime location just off Oxford Street, close to theatre, tubes. Clean bedding, hot water, tv, hairdryer, clean fresh towels - yes rooms are a little small but when all you need is a bed for the night after sightseeing all day absolutely perfect. All staff were more than welcoming and helpful, we arrived at 12.00 to leave bags and were straight away shown to our room. It is undergoing an upgrade after chatting to the lovely guy on reception, and they are doing it very tastefully. Felt very safe there ( I stayed with my 16 year old daughter) slept well and there was absolutely no rush to be checked out, very casual and accommodating - really cannot faut this little gem for anyone waning a cheap, budget break - highly recommend - thank you to all of the team at the Cheshire for having us, we will be back:)
Radisson Blu Edwardian Kenilworth Hotel, London

Radisson Blu Edwardian Kenilworth Hotel, London

Bloomsbury London|0.18km from Architectural Association
The decoration and content of the hotel will not go into details, it is not advanced. But I have booked here for the last three days because of the good location. Oxford Street bears the brunt of gift shopping, the British Museum is within easy reach, and Trafalgar Square is not far away. Of course, if you must define gift-giving gifts in the category of Harold, well, it's a little far away. In addition, the breakfast is average and the service is very good. I said I was too tired, so I found a relatively large room not facing the street if I wanted to be quiet. There is a line of Korean dishes around the hotel. I don’t know why they line up. There is also a restaurant with three Uyghur Chinese characters written on it. The owner is probably a Central Asian who can’t speak Chinese, but the dishes are enough to relieve the pain of homesickness. Lamb is real! Shaxian snacks are also two minutes' walk away.

Staunton Hotel - B&B

Bloomsbury London|0.22km from Architectural Association
Would be a easy five star with an elevator: nice people, immaculate, great location. But there was some rough edges: * For the first few days we were there they seemed to be having staffing problems: clearing tables, making up rooms. But after a while everything settled down and it was great. * There were plenty of outlets around the bed, but only one at the desk which was used by the lamp. No USB outlets. If you go make sure your USB supply had a mains feed-thru so you can still use the lamps. * Mini-refrigerator freezer was a block of ice. Inefficient, but it did keep our drinks and meds cool.

Gresham Hotel Bloomsbury

2.5/551 Reviews
Bloomsbury
Worst hotel ever. No effort made to clean the place, never mind that no one has attended to the interior since 1970. Gloss paint should have been retouched in 1980s, dust mites should have been hoovered yesterday, plug socket should have been Installed beside bed 1990’s and mould all around bathroom, ceiling and walls should have been cleaned this morning. The wash hand basin sits on your stomach as you sit on the toilet. You can’t move in the shower in case you fall on to the toilet. You need to see this place to believe it. But, don’t bother. I’ve stayed with many places on this street and I never bother to review, but this place makes the exception. Look somewhere else folks. Can’t believe how much I parted for it Go somewhere else.
