Toilets didn’t work well, have to wait 10-15 minutes between flushes. Mattresses probably need to be replaced, feel they are at the end of their life, quite uncomfortable. No top sheet only comforter, which was too warm. Some staff very knowledgeable, others didn’t seem to know.

We had a lovely stay at the Bedford Hotel. Close to transportation and has great staff Breakfast was consistently delcious and fresh. The only improvement I could suggest is installing Air Conditioning in the rooms. The room was a bit stuffy unless we opened the window. However, with the window open it was hard to sleep from the street noise. There was a plug in fan in the room that was very helpful in keeping the room more comfortable. Overall a good stay in a great location.

There is a serious problem with the way the shower hose is arranged in the bathroom. Its current placement makes showering very difficult, and it must be fixed.

Celebrating Graduation!

My son and I visited London to celebrate his graduation from the University. The Bedford Hotel could not have been more centralized to where we wanted to be. Easy trip on the Elizabeth line from Heathrow Airport to nearby station. Walking distance to St Pancras station where we took a trip to Nottingham from. All shops, including Denmark St as I play guitar, were nearby. Staff were great, beds clean and comfortable. Overall great experience.

Stafe was friendly and accommodating. The hotel restaurant's breakfast was nice. Good amount of dinning options nearby. The British Museum is only a 5 minute walk. My only negative comment is that the hotel rooms do not have air-conditioning.
