I'll be back... Why is this hotel a 3-star? I was very delighted, impressed and happy with my stay. I highly recomendate this hotel, is a cozy english cottage type of hotel...staff people was so kind and friendly, they offered even the smallest details you wouldnt expect: basket w/ fruits, all type of snacks, charming service. Whenever is possible I will visit them again.

A great find They have a limited number of mews garage spaces, worth booking in advance if you are driving into London, good value at £20 for 24 hours. The hotel is a 10-15 minute walk to Covent Garden & its tube station.

We thoroughly enjoyed it. It would have been nice to have an Internet picture of the various room types available so we could have an idea of what was on offer before arriving at the reception counter.

Very nice - but the floors creak I enjoyed my stay at the Bloomsbury Academy Hotel. It’s an old row house on a quite and well located street. My room was spotless, spacious, and nicely decorated. The only drawback was that the floors creak something awful! I spent a lot of time listening to the guests upstairs walking around.

Good but pricey Great location for the West End being only a few minites walk from the top of Oxford Street. The room was very clean and comfortable but I was irritated by the fact the the bathroom door lock didn't work and nor did the air conditioning. Overall, I didn't think the hotel was good value for money especially as breakfast wasn't even included. The price you pay for a hotel on New Years eve I suppose.

clean and conveniently located The hotel was very clean and very conveniently located. It’s not a place that you would want to book for a very long time as the room sizes are very small however if you’re more into exploring the city and making sure you’re not cooped up in a hotel, then this is an affordable, quaint option. Traveler's tip for business travelers Centrally located this hotel allowed that I avoid public transport and simply walk to my meetings in Soho and Tottenham area.

Great Hotel British Museum just around the corner. An immense visit and the building itself is just beautiful.

The only thing to spoil my stay was my breakfast!I had asked recetion about 'breakfast in bed' facility, was told to complete an order card and hang on my door.The card wasn't collected, my breakfast was therefore 45 minutes later than ordered and my croissant was STONE cold.my 'treat' was ruined and as a diabetic it was a little dodgy too!
