Great location, a minute away from the metro, Russell Square, and 15min walking distance to Oxford Street. The hotel is very clean and the staff is beyond nice. Breakfast is delicious. Thank you for the stay, we’ll definitely come back to visit you again.

Their staff are friendly and professional, especially Alexandra, she is very nice and helpful。The room is small and can not control the heat in room. They put the heat and hot water in high temperature, it is a little bit too hot for me. The location is convenient, train is nearby, buses are crossed street. And on Christmas Day, there is no public transportation, we still can walk to many attractions. Highly recommended when stay at London.

Staff on reception very friendly and helpful. Room was a little tired but it’s an old hotel but everything you need. We had a room facing the street but the noise was cut down by good insulation.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was great, perfect size for a single. The staff were also fantastic - accommodating and friendly. I loved how close everything was and the convenient location in downtown London. The only minor complaint I had was regulating temperature in the room. The rad had a temperature control, but it was inconsistent. I imagine this is similar to other hotels in the area given the older buildings. I would definitely recommend staying at the Bedford.
