Nice rooms, terrible acoustics!
Rooms were nice, but the noise from downstairs did not stop until 2am and kept us up all night. The person welcoming us in the morning could have been a bit more friendlier and welcoming.

4/10 Fair

We were given a room with an accessible bathroom so it looked nothing like the pictures on the website. Asked to change rooms but was told they were fully booked. Our room also hadn’t been cleaned properly. Hair and mould in the bathroom, half drunk drinks in the fridge and dirty glasses. Carpet in the lift looked like it hadn’t been hovered for months.

This is a pub/hotel. It is a pub with a small number of boutique rooms. If you want a templated hotel with all rooms identical then stay at a Premier Inn, Travelodge or Holiday Inn Express. It has character. We had a fantastic bathroom, very comfortable bed and great food in the pub. A twenty minute underground trip into the West End made an ideal location.

Not worth the money
Noise from the pub and function room was very loud. The lady on the service desk wasn't informative I was stood outside a lift for a good while not knowing I had to put a code in first to operate it. The downstairs toilets smell really bad. Room was decorated well but I wouldn't stay there again for that price.

The Bedford is a pub with a small number of boutique rooms. The room I stayed in was comfortable and clean, however the air-conditioning wasn't very effective and the sink was blocked. We knew that there would be some noise in the rooms but I must warn you that they are incredibly loud! Earplugs are provided but on the Saturday night the club night below went on until 2am. The Sunday, however, was much quieter and very pleasant. Overall we would stay here again, although perhaps not on a Saturday night!

Such a great hotel, we were only staying one night while visiting London for an event in nearby Brixton, but will definitely be back. It was easily walkable and plenty of transport links nearby if needed. Room was beautiful, very comfy, and we had a gorgeous bathroom. And having a coffee machine in the room is always an added bonus! The Bedford itself is fascinating with lots of event space and full of character. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Will hopefully have more time next time to make use of the cracking freestanding bath!
