This hotel was cheap at £87 for bed and breakfast in central london so I checked in with trepidation about what standard I would find. What a pleasant surprise! The bedroom was newly painted and very tidy. It was quite small but I wasn't paying a lot. The window was double glazed so the sound of the London traffic wasn't... More

perfectly okay. Had actually booked a room at the Tavistock but they moved me to the Bedford (at no extra charge). Room clean and does the job. Great location, could walk to the west end or euston in minutes. only grip was the over zealousness of the housekeeping staff - knocking on the door at very regular intervals from 9.00... More

A good, reasonably priced hotel convenient to Covent Garden takes research, and sometimes the choices are quite limited. It would not be my first option, but the Bedford makes a good fallback. The rooms are newly renovated and clean, but very simple. In the twin room I had, there was a television, a tea kettle and an iron - that... More

My family, four adult, stayed in two twin rooms for five nights last month. We booked the room directly from the hotel.
