Keep an eye on this hotel - the breakfast room has been refurbished, as has the lift and the reception area was receiving some (much needed) TLC during my one night stay. Its an old building with some interesting features (including some fantastic stained glass), but some cheap and cheerful modifications in the past hasn't done it any favours. Let's... More

Stayed here for a couple of nights after my regular hotel down the road was full. Room, bed, etc simple but fine for the price. Good location, helpful reception staff. Lots of shops, restaurants, pubs etc nearby. Very convenient. More

Since taxis can't stop in front of the hotel, we were dropped off a bit down the street for our two night stay in a twin room. Unfortunately the lift was under refurbishment and our rooms were on the second floor. Although the staff brought up the luggage, the stairs were hard on arthritic knees. The hotel lobby and downstairs... More

A group of us stayed here for a weekend, the rooms having been booked directly online over 2 months before our stay, but when we arrived we were told some of the rooms we'd booked were not available and were offered rooms in another hotel. We refused and magically rooms were then found. The same thing happened on the 2nd... More

Would definitely stay again. Very good value for money considering the excellent location- a few minutes to the British Museum and also near to theatres. Room was very clean, beds were comfortable and you could change pillows if you didn't like the ones you were given. Shower room was compact. Very friendly staff - reception and restaurant. Good value breakfast... More

A good hotel. Clean room and bathroom. Great location for theatre land and covent garden, etc. downside was that the lift was being updated and felt we should have been told on booking especially as we had a room on the 7th floor. Would stay again and would recommend to others. More

After reading poor reviews we were so pleasantly surprised when Bloomsbury Park Hotel was very clean and nice decor. We stayed in a lovely large room on the 6th floor (as for the lift not working they told us that and offered low level floor - it didn't cause us a problem). The buffet breakfast was one of the best... More

stayed at the this hotel over the easter weekend. Great location 5 minutes walk from Holborn underground station, 15 minutes walk from covent garden, 20 minutes from leicester square. The room itself was a good size and the hotel well presented. Bed very comfortable. The only downside was that the lift was not working though we were offered a choice... More
