The Bloomsbury Hotel, London

16-22 Great Russell St, Bloomsbury, London WC1B 3NN, United Kingdom (show on map)

Expert reviews

CN Traveler review:

“The Bloomsbury is bringing the Grand Dame back to London. Even if you are not staying there, you have to make time for a cocktail or two at its fabulously designed Coral Room. But the location, in central-west London, walking distance to major sites and train lines that can get you anywhere in town, is unbeatable in this city.”

Beautiful hotel, fabulous staff and the most wonderful food ♥️

Beautiful hotel, amazing staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Chloe and Shannon on reception were so lovely and made us feel at home immediately. The room was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The in-room dining was fabulous - amazing steaks and the best espresso martinis we’ve ever had! Would absolutely book again and recommend to everyone.

Gorgeous property, fabulous location & close to everything. All staff were amazing, friendly & super attentive! Rooms were very clean and beautifully presented. Facilities, restaurant & food were great.

I was on level two and there was noise for a few hours each late afternoon on 2 days during my stay, to middle of the eve from above floor and near lift. Furniture being dragged across floor etc, loud voices.

Exceptional treat that will live long in the memory.

What’s not to love. Beautiful room with loads of space, plenty of sockets, high-end coffee machine and amazingly comfortable bed. Everything absolutely spotless. Decor consistent with the era of the Bloomsbury set. The location was perfect. Easy to get to from Euston (3 tube stops) and next door to Do inion theatre where we were visiting. Easy walking access to Covent Garden and the West End as well the extensive tube network. Staff were so friendly and the service was exceptional. We had drinks in the Coral Room and experienced the late night music at the Bloomsbury club. Look here, it’s not cheap but if you can afford it, it’s understated luxury delivered in a friendly fashion. Worth saving up for.

Having to leave!

A lovely stay in Bloomsbury

The quiet and relaxed location of the Bloomsbury Hotel was perfect - the tube and buses a few minutes walk away couldn’t be better. The British Museum was a five minute walk away. We thoroughly enjoyed two dinners at the main restaurant, the Coral Room had a fantastic ambiance for drinks and breakfast was delicious being buffet and a la carte. Our room was lovely and the hotel is definitely one that we’d like to return to.

A quintessentially London hotel

Nice central location in a historic building. The staff were courteous and accommodating, even offering us some sparkling wine whilst waiting to be tended to by the concierge. Ground floor interior design was impeccable

Rooms weren’t quite as aesthetically bold as the ground floor, but still well thought out and clean.

Nice interior Room very nice and clean Good facilities Wonderful staff Great location Quiet Good communication before and during the stay and any requests were happily attended to.

There was nothing i didn’t like Room did overlook another bedroom directly opposite and was a little close but we were in one of the cheaper rooms and it’s central London so it didn’t surprise me. It didn’t ruin the stay in any way though.

One of London’s finest hotels with amazing staff

We’ve had such a wonderful stay at this gorgeous hotel, amazing and superfriendly staff, ideal location nearby Tottenham court station. Great rooms, exceptionally clean and lovely, perfect beds and the interior of the hotel is like a dream ❤️ and on top of all this, we were very lucky to be upgraded to their gorgeous studio suite!

We liked everything!

Lovely hotel, breakfast is too expensive I don’t know how it can cost £32.

The curtains blocked out the light which is a big bonus for me in terms of sleep. Although we didn’t use the bar it looked beautiful and the guys at the entrance really give a good first impression of the hotel. The turn down service is a lovely touch.

The room was a little small but we had booked the cheapest room. Showers over the bath are no good when you are older. If I didn’t have my husband with me to help me in and out of the bath I wouldn’t have been able to have a shower. The service charge was ridiculous and we had it taken off. I think hotels have forgotten that you tip for good service which is what we did with the lady who kept our room immaculate.

Our go to hotel for trips to central London

It was so great, we stayed an extra night. I think the staff in and around reception, doormen and restaurants staff, (Maria and Tania especially) really make the place feel special

I would have liked more power points in common areas, but this is a tiny tiny need as someone who was working while on leisure time

Second stay with them. Friendly staff at the desk and in the restaurant. Also, the guys at front were always sociable and welcoming. Nice to see familiar faces a 15 months later. Room was impeccably clean and well-serviced. Breakfast was excellent. Love the location with easy access to Elizabeth line and theater district.

Very pleasant experience in a good location.

Everything was lovely, great staff and good food. We got an upgrade so that was a pleasant surprise.

15% discretionary charge was added to our two rooms for the two nights. I had not been notified in advance but luckily saw it before paying the bill . Both myself and my friend had already tipped staff for service. The only other downside was a lot of noise in the middle of the night from works at the Dominion Theatre, which backs onto the hotel.

Elegant comfort in a warm environment

The room was lovely - very comfortable. The staff were amazing - warm, competent, everyone knew our names. Breakfasts were excellent and staff were wonderful. Historic building with modern touches. Hotel is elegant but not stuffy.

Next time, we might choose a quieter area of London. Hotel itself is quiet and on a side street but area around is very busy. It is convenient though to Chinatown, Covent Garden, Soho and the West End.
