Lovely hotel

Very nice hotel in a nice part of London. Very central and easy access to transport options. We knew the rooms had no air conditioning but didn’t mind that and they all had fans in any case.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Bedford is pretty much my go-to choice when staying in London. It’s walking distance from two underground stations which gives you quick access to most of the city. It’s surrounded by dining options ranging from budget fast food to bougie restaurants. The British Museum is a brief stroll away, and despite all that, it’s quiet. (I’ve only visited as a solo traveller, but it’s perfect for solo travellers.)

It is a very clean and comfortable hotel. The staff on the desk are very friendly and welcoming. All the other staff are pleasant and polite. Our only problem was that the customer lifts were very small, making it very difficult for my husband and i to fit in with his disabikity walker

great location. Comfortable. Great staff

the room was very comfortable, if not large (this is central London, after all). Service was great, staff was friendly and the location was really great with three underground stops nearby. There were good restaurants nearby. While not particularly cheap, it wasn't outrageously priced, especially for that part of London.

The Bedford Hotel rooms did not have air conditioning. Only the lobby was air conditioned. While it's the norm in the UK not to have a/c, in this era of climate change and intense summer heatwaves, customers should be able to choose properties that are air conditioned. The website should state if a/c is available or not.

From the moment we stepped in the door, the staff were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were much larger than any other London accommodation I've stayed in and the location was awesome.
