Good stay
Excellent situation near Russell Square. The staff were helpful and friendly. We chose a room facing the garden. It was quiet and spotlessly clean. The complimentary tea bags were weak. We had to buy some. We had breakfast at café Tropea in Russell Sqare. Worth a visit. The food was amazingly good.

Comfortable Hotel in Central London
Enjoyed our stay at the Bedford Hotel. Excellent location very close to Russell Square Tube station. Our room was very comfortable, overlooking the gardens in the rear of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, a lot choice, with cold and hot options. Very good coffee and delicious croissants. The only issue we encountered was controlling the hot water in the shower, it tended to get very hot and needed to be mixed with a lot of cold water. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends and family.

Wonderful stay!
Amazing stay at the Bedford. The staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. We got upgraded on arrival and offered late check out as we’re celebrating a special occasion, and also found goodies in the bedroom. Very nice touch! Room was large and comfortable, bathroom clean and modern. Breakfast was delicious and the location of the hotel was perfect! So close to everything but nice and quiet.
