When my 5 year old grand- daughter was suddenly rushed to GOSH in Dec., we needed somewhere close to stay to support her and the provision for only 1 adult to stay with her. The Bedford is less than 5 mins. walk away and has provided us with our requirements for the past 6 weeks, as we live 120 miles... More

A very good hotel for the price .Good location and most buses at the door.Friendly staff and the place is clean. Ask for a back room if you can overlooking the garden but the front rooms are fine. Great cafes meters away and essential shops. Stayed 6 nights and could not fault it. More

I have stayed at this hotel several times with friends and family. The breakfasts are excellent and now that the rooms have been refurbished it is a very pleasant place to stay and near all the tourist places. Everyone i have recommended it to has been as pleased as me. More

stayed here for a long weekend and it is well situated for central London attractions, staff generally very helpful although the breakfast staff did try and sit us at occupied tables each time as they didn't know who they had sat where but easily solved. 50p per item bag storage on the last day is great value. Room was OK... More

My wife and I originally booked their sister hotel President after a personal recommendation, however we got 'upgraded' to the Bedford 24 hrs before arrival. (I'm still waiting to hear why this happened). We were spending a rare night out away from our young family and was especially looking foward to a rare Sunday morning lie-in. The hotel, the rooms...

I've been, recently, in this hotel. I've booked my room using one of the popular web sites to book hotels and I've got the price 20% reduced. Nevertheless, the official price is quite an honest one for London! And you get an English breakfast included. Looking at reviews, I've noticed that several costumers were complaining about rooms. I'd say, room... More

We booked to stay at the Bedford with a couple of our friends for New Years Eve. Although we had read a few reviews we were pleasantly surprised by what we found. We drove to the hotel and used the parking beneath the hotel (approx. £14 for 24 hours). The reception staff were very friendly and welcoming and within a... More
