I had an average stay at this hotel. The location was fantastic, being just a short walk from the Tube, making it easy to get around London. However, the experience was marred by a few cleanliness issues and the breakfast was less than appetizing. The value for money didn’t quite meet my expectations, especially given the condition of the room.

I stayed at this hotel recently and found it to be centrally located, making it easy to explore nearby attractions like the British Museum. My room was clean, comfortable, and decently priced. However, I was disappointed with the breakfast service which could use some improvements. Overall, it's a reasonable choice for the price, but some quirks need addressing.

The room I stayed in was clean and comfortable, with a safe for my valuables. However, I noticed that it could get quite hot and the noise levels varied, especially when overlooking the busy street.

While the reception staff was polite, they didn't go above and beyond to make me feel welcomed. The breakfast staff, on the other hand, were somewhat lacking in customer service.

I found the breakfast options to be disappointing. While there was a substantial cold selection, the hot dishes were often served tepid. I felt that more could have been done to ensure the food was served hot.

I recently stayed at Bloomsbury Park, and while the location is unbeatable with easy access to major attractions, the overall experience was quite disappointing. The room was clean, but it felt cramped and overheated, making for an unpleasant stay. The service was lacking with limited interactions that didn’t quite meet my expectations. For the price I paid, I really hoped for a more comfortable and well-maintained environment.

My stay at Bloomsbury Park was rather disappointing. While the reception and dining areas were pleasant, the rooms themselves were in dire need of renovation, making it hard to relax. The pricing felt exorbitant for the conditions I encountered, especially considering the lack of air conditioning and noise levels. However, the location is quite central, which is a plus.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While the location is unbeatable, in close proximity to key London attractions, the experience inside was lacking. The room was overly hot and noisy, making it hard to relax, and customer service fell short, especially during breakfast. There were a few redeeming qualities, but overall I felt the hotel didn't deliver value for the money I spent.

Rooms

The room was small and hot, with single glazing that let in a lot of noise. Despite being moved to a slightly better room, the lack of amenities and basic facilities like more outlets made it less than comfortable.
