Nice and cozy

Television did not work for the whole of my stay - no Wimbledon or football- despite my asking several times.
No offer of recompense for the lack of this amenity.

Nettes kleines Hotel in zentraler Lage.
Pros:

Schöne eingerichtetes Zimmer, das Zusatzbett war jedoch nicht so komfortabel. Sehr gute, und dennoch ruhige Lage mit mehreren U-Bahn Stationen in max. 10 Minuten Entfernung. Vielfältiges Frühstück mit Müsli, Croissants, etc

Cons:

Da gerade eine Hitzewelle in London war, wäre es perfekt wenn das Hotel vollständig mit einer Klimaanlage ausgestattet wäre. Vorsicht es gibt keinen Lift, die Stiegen sind steil, also nicht perfekt für großes schweres Gepäck.

Great stay at Bloomsbury Palace
Pros:

The staff, especially Adam, were very polite and helpful. The room for 3 was a good size and the hotel felt homely. The breakfast was a great way to start your day and the garden was lovely for a coffee. The location is great, on a quiet street just behind Tottenham Court Rd. Facility to drop off/leave luggage. A great stay, enjoyed by a group of 6 in 2 rooms

Cons:

Our room had air con which was really good as it was hot but other rooms didn't,

Hôtel correct
Pros:

Bien situé pour notre programme de visites. (à deux pas du British Museum et très proche d'une station de métro)
Accueil aimable.
Propreté de la chambre.

Cons:

Notre séjour s'est déroulé lors de la canicule de juin 2026.
Hélas, ce n'est que l'avant-veille de notre arrivée, que nous avons été informées de l'inexistence de système de climatisation.
Cependant, il y avait bien un ventilateur dans la chambre, ce qui nous a sauvé de la liquéfaction...

Nous avons également reçu une petite mise en garde pour le petit-déjeuner, nous expliquant que la salle n'étant pas très grande, il valait mieux arriver de bonne heure pour avoir une place et ne pas faire la file ...
Finalement, tout s'est bien passé pour les petits-déjeuners.

Le mot "Palace" dans l'intitulé de l'hôtel est peut-être un peu trompeur... :)

Cons:

-No air con rooms too hot. fans not good enough on very hot days

-Only choice food was halal, so not giving choice or being inclusive. The daughter loves chicken but was halal, so only had a choice of cheese with the continental breakfast.

-Need to cater on a multicultural level.

Rooms are too small

Lots of traffic noise outside, no soundproofing

Good location with passable accommodation, but very small room for the price.
Pros:

The breakfast was good. The room was clean.

Cons:

Rooms very tiny, and although it was extremely hot weather there was no way to cool the rooms. Only BBC TV channels seemed to actually work. Others were pixelated.
