In the beating heart of London, close to Theatreland, The British Museum and Covent Garden, The Bloomsbury, a magnificent Edwin Lutyens’ Grade II-listed, neo-Georgian building sits amid the historic 18th century neighbourhood of the same name; a literary heartland filled with galleries, bookshops and a wealth of cultural heritage. Following a multimillion pound refurbishment, the final chapter in The Bloomsbury’s redevelopment includes beautifully designed Luxury Studio Suites, Sitting Room and grand salon bar - The Coral Room. The Coral Room, designed in collaboration with internationally-acclaimed, Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, features 36 original pieces of art commissioned with illustrator Luke Edward Hall and inspired by the surrounding Bloomsbury area. The restoration of The Bloomsbury also includes Dalloway Terrace, a charming indoor and outdoor restaurant and The Bloomsbury Club Bar which takes inspiration from the Bloomsbury Set, evoking the glamour of a bygone era.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Lovely hotel close to British Museum. Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere make this hotel a convenient stay in central London where most of the theatres and many good restaurants are within walking distance. Breakfast really good with Maria and Mohamed giving us a delicious start to the day.

Hotel's Favourite
I stayed here few months ago and it was lovely. But this time was special due to my birthday celebration, and a weekend out in London, which all The Bloomsbury team made it perfect. We were welcomed and greeted by Alejandra at Reception who was very informative and chatty with us. Once we checked-in in the room I found a prosecco bottle and lovely card wishing me a happy birthday, which was a very nice touch. We opted to go for a drink to the glamorous Coral Room, the Spanish guy from Valencia welcome us, and Jonathan made the Danny Ocean's cocktail for us.... And it was amazing! All staff was very attentive and cheerful, but they went an extra mile when Alejandro, brought us a happy birthday plate with macarons and two glasses of Champagne! Wow! Our first day couldn't start better! Room was lovely, very well equipped, very comfortable king size bed and nice to have shower and bath in the room. Housekeeping team refresh the room and brought some tasty chocolates in the afternoon, the room attendant who I didn't catch her name, was friendly and very smile! We were checked out by Alejandra again and she kindly kept our luggage. The very polite concierge Kem escort us to the the exit and wished us a nice journey back home. Thanks again to all The Bloomsbury team for such an amazing stay, we will definitely come back. Special attention to Marta who did the reservation for us and made sure all our stay went perfect!

Nice stay and nice hotel, breakfast was very good and room nice but small. Staff very helpful and polite. Out main issue was two nights of poor sleep due to a very loud function on the first night till 12am where noise was unbearable and the third night with a DJ playing dance music till 12am. Our room on level 3 was basically like being in the function room itself. Probably wouldn't have stayed here if knew these were going to be on two nights out of 4.

Arriving late on Saturday evening, we were greeted very warmly by the night manager, Gregory. Our room was comfortable, nicely furnished, and sparkling - the housekeeping standards here are high. There are two comfortable bars and a delightful restaurant, plus you're in the heart of London - walking distance from the British Museum, Soho, and so much more. Maria presides over the charming breakfast room and Brian, the concierge, is quick to recommend a great restaurant and gives excellent directions. I would happily stay here again.
