6/10 Good

I needed a quick and cheap overnight stay before a running event in London. The Bedford hotel, although not the cheapest, was very conveniently located. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from Russell Square tube station and is surrounded by restaurants, cafes and shops. I had a single room and although small (most London rooms are!), was clean and modern and everything worked fine. The check in staff were super friendly and helpful and all in all my stay was a pleasant one. Recommended.

Great location, reasonably priced
I had a lovely stay at the Bedford. I requested a quiet room (having read other reviews), and was given a room on the back of the hotel, overlooking the garden. I slept really well. Room was quite comfortable, very clean, staff was lovely, and the location, just down from Russel Square, was great. They’ll also allow you to drop your luggage if you arrive early.

Bedford Hotel was great!
Great value for a business trip. Convenient location. Booked a room with a small bed and it was comfortable. I liked the desk and internet service was decently fast. Very nice staff, no problems from other guests. I did not book the breakfast with my stay and there were plenty of options for that on the block or close by. Easy to get to tube/bus. Will definitely book there again.

Nice hotel, great location, and terrific staff
This is a very nice hotel in what was for us a perfect location. Our stay was made all the more enjoyable by the friendly and helpful staff, both at the reception desk and at the bar. One word of caution to light sleepers. It’s an old hotel with thin walls. We had the misfortune one night of having a man with a very loud voice talking on the phone until after 1:00 a.m. We stayed at the Bedford a second time at the end of our two weeks in England and had no such problems the second time.

Mr. Tarvo, excellency in service
I had a technical problem with processing an email that I needed help with, and it was nighttime. 3 of the female staff basically ignored me, it was thanks to Mr. Tarvo, who was very professional and spent an hour trying and finally succeeding at solving my problem, all while 2 of the female staff spent the same hour complaining about their job, mind you in front of me, a guest. I commend Mr. Tarvo for his commitment to his guests and above and beyond customer service. Thumbs down to the rest of the reception staff that night
