We have just returned from a 2 night stay at the Bedford Hotel, as it was our Wedding Anniversary. All of the staff are very pleasant & helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The bedrooms are very well furnished & have recently been refurbished. At this time of year it was nice to have the central heating on all of... More

My wife and I stayed at the Bedford this weekend. I find the negative comments on here hard to compehend - we had 2 nights in a spacious, clean room. All the staff we came across were highly efficient and friendly. Breakfasts were excellent and our evening meal lovely. Well done - we will be back.

Lived in London for the first 40 years of my life. Now live in Scotland. 8 years ago took my then 7 year old grandaughter to London, chose the Bedford for its location, we had a great time, nice room at the back overlooking the garden. And how nice to have a central London hotel with a pleasant garden. In... More

Stayed one night in March 2013. Overall, my stay was a pleasant surprise; given that hotels in central London are either ludicrously expensive or plainly uninhabitable, the single room for £80 including "continental" breakfast represents very good value. The Bedford is one of those reasonably large if aging hotels in the Russell Square area. From what I could see, it... More

Bedford Hotel is in good location for those who are visiting London for the touristic purpose very near to Russel square and Holborn Tube station. Price wise it is worth. They serve good British and continental breakfast though it is same through out the week.

We recently stayed at the Bedford Hotel as we were attending a wedding nearby. The hotel was very pleasant and surpassed our expectations. The room was a good size, very clean, had tea and coffee making facilities and a flat screen tv. We were pleased. I had emailed the hotel prior to our arrival requesting a quiet room at the... More

This is the third time we have stayed at this hotel and we are very pleased with it. The staff are very helpful and the rooms adequate and clean it is only rated 3* so for London that's good. It's well situated for Oxford St and Tottenham Court Road. We used the buses to get around and they were terrific... More

We have stayed in this hotel many times and we have always had a pleasant stay. Rooms are a reasonable size and always spotless. Hotel is in easy walking distance to underground at both Russel Square and Holborn. There's plenty of good places to eat in the area for lunch or for an evening meal

The hotel itself wasn't bad- at least for this price in London I was expecting worse. Rooms were clean and decent sized, I don't know London well but there seemed to be plenty if stuff to do nearby, and the price seemed fine. Based on this, someone could very well have a perfectly fine stay. The first problem I had... More
