Second time staying here. This time in a garden view single. It was actually a bit louder on the garden view side as I could hear a rumbling sound on and off. Maybe the tube? I got used to it fine. If I stay again I will ask for a room facing the Main Street and on the 6th floor again. Staff and lovely. Rooms are clean. The safe is so helpful. Breakfast buffet is great with lots of selection. Staff in the restaurant are very professional and make you feel welcome. Love the location and felt very safe as a solo female traveler.

So impressed with this hotel! Location was excellent steps from the British Museum, tube stations, a lovely park, and dining options. I was in a single room and the bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and very quiet at night. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I felt so welcome. The breakfast was way more than I expected and the breakfast area is charming with a lovely view over a garden courtyard. No suggested improvements!

Stayed in April 2026. Dated 60's hotel Clean and tidy but 60's size small rooms and old fixtures. No room air conditioning so you need to keep the windows open to keep the temperature down. We had a Garden view room and it is fairly noisy with music, outdoor conversations, and a constant sound of running water 24/7 from the two fountains below. Rooms x33 and x01 are next to the elevators. They are noisy with alot of clanking until after midnight. No bathroom fan so again open windows. Strange toilet flush but eventually works. Breakfast buffet is good with a full English breakfast. Service is lacking. Will opt for a more modern location next time.

I loved everything about the property, including my room. Staff were very attentive and polite. I had the breakfast option, but personally found it too bright and loud so I didn’t stay long for breakfast. I travelled solo, so I felt like a stuck out amongst the other guests. Otherwise, I would absolutely stay again! Will be recommending to others!

Overall the hotel was great. The staff were friendly, the room was clean, and it’s in a fantastic location. However, there are few things to be aware of. If your room faces the main road, it will be very loud and bright until at least midnight (later on weekends). The blackout curtains do a great job at blocking the light from the street, but this causes the room to become stuffy very quickly since the windows are the only form of ventilation. It was not a surprise to me that there was no air conditioning in our room so my expectations were set, but it was a major issue for my travel partner. Additionally, the only water refill station is in the lobby and no carafe is provided in the room. Because of this, it was much more convenient to buy a pack of water bottles for the room which unfortunately created more waste. And lastly, I found it odd that our beds were on wheels. This may not be the case for all rooms, but if you stay here and have a bed on wheels - be prepared to stub your toe multiple times daily. It definitely isn’t a deal breaker, but was incredibly annoying. Despite the things mentioned above, I would 100% consider staying at the Bedford Hotel again and would recommend it to anyone I know traveling to London.
