The staff are great!
The staff make this hotel, very efficient and personable which you don’t get in many hotels. The rooms don’t have air con so can be very hot (although fans are provided) Rooms on the main road can be very noisy if you have the window open (needed if hot). Generally though a very nice stay and nice bar/ restaurant area.

Lovely garden, friendly, clean hotel Bloomsbury
The garden is lovely, a real bonus for a city hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful. Good choice at breakfast. The single room was very small but had a nice window and was very clean with nice sheets and the much appreciated bath.

Great hotel
Excellent stay, very good breakfast. Terrific location between Russell Square and Holborn tube stations and across from a bus stop for going south and a block from another for going north. All I’d change is the music at breakfast. Such a nice restaurant should play either good music or none.
