I spent four peaceful nights at the Bedford; my single room, which overlooked the garden, was a delightful respite to full days of walking around London. The location is convenient to nearby parks, restaurants, tube stops, museums, and amenities. The desk staff is very welcoming, friendly, and efficient; my one breakfast and dinner were each fresh, fulsome, and very well presented. Would return!

Room was very small but clean. En-suite so small - barely useable and looking tired. Hotel bar, food and amenities were good, staff helpful.

This hotel ‘does the job’, I had a single room facing the garden. Fairly quiet. Comfortable bed. Small room. But for a single traveler only looking to get some sleep at night it was all good and again, did the job:)

Central hotel with a garden where I ate breakfast and dinner. There was live music in the garden on one of the nights of my stay.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed there several times, love the breakfast and friendly staffs. Location is great, walking distance to the British Museum, tube stations, bus stops, and many convenience stores. The hotel doesn't have AC, so if you are there during summer, they only have a fan for each room. Facing street is a bit noisy, we hear ambulance sirens almost every night. Overall ratings are good for the price. Will definitely come back again.

I stayed there with my grandson and I was happy to find a room with 2 twin beds. One problem-We had to move a bed and turn it around so my cpap cord would reach an outlet.

The location of this hotel is fabulous. I liked the effort they have made to be eco friendly, and the option of getting a room with a single bed is very helpful for solo travelers.

Staff was welcoming, room was clean, lovely atmosphere. This was my second time staying there and both times had a great experience. I had put in a request to have a fridge, and when it wasn’t there on arrival i just went down to ask the receptionist, and they quickly had someone bring it up. Very likely to stay there in the future!

The hotel was suitable for our needs. There was no air conditioning available but the hotel provided a fan. It was always very hot in the room. The room was a little small. The faucet in the bathroom sink was not placed well and it was difficult to use. The breakfast was very good and the staff were very helpful and had a room ready for us early before the check in time. The area was convenient for walking and public transportation. I would recommend this hotel.
