My stay in May was my third time at The Bloomsbury. It's a lovely, comfortable hotel in a great location. But the best part is the staff, who are all helpful, friendly, and very accessible. I have to give special call-out to the staff in the breakfast room. They are, to a person, terrific! And, the coffee served is the best. It's a great way to start your day in London!

If I ever return to London I will stay at the Bloomsbury. The location is excellent, the restaurant was very convenient, the porters and room staff are very helpful. The room was comfortable (we were upgraded when we checked in!). I don't have a photo of the hotel itself but it is very close to a nice shopping area and the British Museum.

Lovely hotel in great location.

The Bloomsbury is a good hotel located close to the British Museum and within walking distance of the National Gallery and other cultural attractions. It’s also close to theatres and the shops of Oxford Street. It has recently been renovated and is in excellent condition. Very friendly and helpful staff. I only stayed for one night but would be concerned about noise from neighbouring rooms if I was staying longer and had noisy neighbours.
