Myhotel Bloomsbury

My fiancé and I recently took a trip to London and stayed at My Hotel Bloomsbury. Because I am a deal searcher, I can sometimes end up with a less than ideal hotel but this was not the case on this trip! From the very beginning the staff made check in easy and even sent someone up when we couldn’t figure out the flush (note to others, push hard). The room was a fair size and had everything one needs including tea, a mini bar and comfortable bed.
I also want to note what a great location this hotel has. It is close to multiple Tube stations, tons of quick eat restaurants and sit down, and the British Museum is one block away. Note to others, most museums in London are free, so pop in at your leisure.

I haven’t been outside yet for location as my luggage hasn’t arrived yet so I’m sitting in my skivvies writing on Unilocal.
Shower — good, took my American an ass to figure it out but good. It’s the tub/​shower combo and isn’t huge but good pressure and hot water.
Toilet — hard to flush no matter what I tried.
Wifi– free but connection is spotty. Viber calls keep cutting and my laptop takes forever to load a page.
Room — very small but it’s London so I was expecting it. I reserved a single and that’s what I got. Perfect for a single girl or guy that isn’t too big. I’m 5’6″.
Front desk — nice and helpful!
Power — Lots of plugs!!! Had to remember to turn them on. Again, American learning curve.
View — small window but view of street and houses, not roof or something so thumb up.
There isn’t any water in the room, even to purchase so when you show up late that’s kind of a bummer.
Overall, I like it. Not a new hotel so it has character and I’d stay again but would probably look for something else just for variety based on price and location to office.
I’m giving 3 stars simply because of wifi, toilet, and lack of water. I may update after I get out as have stayed longer than one night.

Room #412 was so small there was no where to put my bag other than on the bed. Unless you are skinny you will not be able to pull the chair out far enough to sit at the desk and the only way to look out the window is to stand on the bed.
The hotel has a great breakfast and nice old school charm complete with creaky wooden stairs.
Location is great as you can walk to a lot of restaurants and bars.
It’s nicely designed and they do try to make the most of the space but wouldn’t recommend the smallest rooms for more than a single night.
Early check in not honored and Internet does not work. At all.

Un petit hôtel boutique dans le quartier très bien situé de Bloomsbury, à cinq minute de marche de Soho et d’Oxford st. j’ai habiter ici à de multiples occasion étant donné la proximité du bureau de Current TV UK que je visitais régulièrement.
Les chambres sont de tailles variable mais toujours très confortable. L’hôtel est situé dans la «congestion zone» du centre de Londres (ce qui veut dire que vous devez payer le jour pour approcher de l’hôtel) donc venir ici en voiture est vraiment une très très mauvaise idée. Par contre, utiliser le «tube» est une excellente idée puisque la station «Tottenham Court Road» est juste à côté. Bloomsbury est un excellent quartier pour les restaurant et les choix abondent sur Charlotte st juste à côté.
Le «British Museum» est également à côté pour ceux qui veulent y faire une visite!
C’est cher, mais c’est Londres!

I haven’t stayed here in a bit but this is decent, clean and fairly well situated. Faux sushi downstairs is odd but when you’re hungry and stand another pret-​a-​manger sandwich this is actually much more brilliant.
Near the original Wagamama, tons of Bus lines, Tubes and shopping; walk to everything and near the I-​D Building.
I see everyone talking about closet sized rooms which I haven’t experienced although… our room was large, the large bed felt to take up most of the interior space but that’s most of what you get in central London.
I think the fact that it is newer than most (think horrible shabby, chintzy, brown colored interiored hotels that most of London has, with the up and down steps within the hallways and corridors of a floor. ;-o –so of course this is way better! Kinda like Vegas, the newer the Hotel, the less Funky and depressing.
For the price I think it’s right. Otherwise you’re in another bracket of Hotels and price per night!

On a recent whirlwind trip to the UK, I stayed in four different hotels in nine nights. MyHotel Bloomsbury is the only one I would return to in a heartbeat.
I paid an arm and a leg to stay here, but it was mostly worth it. Yes, the hotel room was approximately the size of my walk-​in closet. But you know what? It’s Central London. You have to expect that you’re not going to find a palatial room in a location as good as this one. And it really was a great location — just a couple of minutes’ walk from Tottenham Court Road tube station, and an easy jaunt to Soho, Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Oxford Circus, etc.
The hotel itself was chic, but still warm and inviting. Everyone at reception was helpful and friendly. The breakfast (included in my room rate) was available for a generous length of time in the mornings (there’s nothing I hate more than having to miss breakfast because it’s only available for an hour). My room was tiny, of course, but it had high ceilings, funky décor, a huge window that opened for fresh air, a lovely tea service, and fun amenities like a sampling of magazines on my desk. The free WiFi was fast and reliable. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and of course I loved the Aveda bath products.
Most of all, I really appreciated how the room design took advantage of every available space — a big, full-​length mirror on the back of the door; the electric kettle and stereo on a built-​in wall ledge next to the bed; a rolling bureau which could be moved around the room however I saw fit. After wandering around London, it was really a pleasure to return to this comfortable, stylish hotel at night!
So why no fifth star? Well, the room rate really was exorbitant. Don’t get me wrong, it was a fantastic hotel, but I sure paid for it. Would I stay here again? Most definitely. I just might have to save up for awhile first.

WORST PLACE TO STAY!!! This is my 2^nd day here and I can’t wait to leave!!!
They made a mistake on my reservation and charged me twice then insisted that I made two reservations at their «early bird (non-​refundable) rate» and couldn’t get my money back. I had to go through my bank to demonstrate that they swiped the payment twice (less than one minute apart from one another) and they undid one of the charges.
Once I arrived they ask for a c. c to hold for my room and, being skeptical from the booking issues, I requested that they remove the minibar from my room instead. The manager would not allow it and I had to give them my card. (I wonder if it will be an issue getting my money reversed as I only have a debit card).
The room is the size of a closet and everything (except the tub) is run down and second rate. The staff is not knowledgeable and so they cannot be much of any help. I am SO disappointed by the room, the hotel chain, and the staff. Not worth the price or the hassle.

Probably THE WORST hotel I’ve ever stayed in London. In fact, it’s a candidate for the worst ever.
You book a superior double, they put you in a standard room, you ask «THIS is a superior?» They respond «oh of course sir».
The reason you ask is:
— the windows don’t open, (there’s only one and it’s only 2′ square)
— the ac doesn’t work
— you can touch both sides of the room with your fingers.
— there’s cigarette butts on the window sill.
So, I complain and the next day they put in what they claim is another similar «superior double», which magically is twice the size of the first one.
Catch the modus operandi here? You don’t get the room you pay for.
Elevator was broken for 3 days, I was on the 4^th floor.
They charge you a service fee (on top on the mandatory 12% gratuity) just to sit and have a drink in their bar.
Rooms are tiny and run down.
I could go on but hopefully you all get the picture.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

I have not yet completed my 8 day long stay (only into the 2^nd day, in fact), but I feel compelled to voice my displeasure regarding what I consider to be false advertisement. Struggling with my fight against jet lag, I decided that a quick workout might do the trick. A brochure in my room talks of the «fitness zone» on the basement level. Additionally, signage for the aforementioned fitness zone is displayed in the lobby. After changing into workout gear and heading downstairs, I am dismayed to learn that this gym has yet to be completed. Clearly the hotel was a bit too hasty advertising something that to not yet exist.
The hotel itself is OK, it’s saving grace is close proximity to work. I could complain about it being outrageously expensive, but this is London and everything here costs more than back in the US, even NYC.

Oh what a difference a room makes!
When you’re put next to the elevator (such that you hear it vividly every single time it’s called) and given a room so small you cannot properly expand your suitcase, your experience changes dramatically.
Here I thought my former closet-​less single room had been small but it was positively palatial compared to this most recent one. Still, myhotel Bloomsbury staff is very attentive and the library downstairs is a savior if, say, you need a bunch of documents printed out so you can open your first British bank account.
I’d still recommend myhotel Bloomsbury, I’d just make very sure to get a room situated away from the elevator and hopefully at least one level up from the very smallest available.

i stayed here for two weeks during a business trip in london. the location is great. right in the middle of central london and a block from my office which i can’t complain about that.
things i liked:
–the staff was all very friendly and all my needs were taken care of
–the place has an ultra modern feel to it.
–they have a full dinner menu which i think you could get 24 hours. the food was pretty good but expensive.
–liked the bar area although there were rarely very many people in it.
things i didn’t love:
–single bedroom was tiny so i upped myself to a double. i guess that’s standard for London though
–continental breakfast was 14gbp which comes out to be $ 22…i mean… that’s kind of a lot. although the spread was quite good. they had smoked salmon which i love.
all in all i had a pretty good two weeks there.

MyHotel ist ein kleines Designhotel in der Nähe unseres Büros. Es ist sehr sauber und überwiegend organic. Man bekommt organic Duschgel und
orgnaic Essen. Die Geräte in dem kleinen Fitnessstudio sind wirklich empfehlenswert. Mein Zimmer ist in lila gehalten und das Bett ist außerordentlich gemütlich. Die Servicekräfte sind ebenfalls durchweg nett und machen fast alles möglich.

i’ve stayed here a few times over the years when my job required me to travel to the UK (i miss those days!). this hotel is a very cool little boutique hotel. standard rooms can be a little small, but once they upgraded me to a suite and of course that was big. the hotel has an overall good vibe to it and staff are very friendly. if you’re a «rockstar» f#cker, then you might want to stay here, as i’ve seen a few musicians staying here while i was here and the door man told me some stories.
oh yeah, and you know what made my stay here even better? my employer picked up the bill everytime! not sure i could afford staying here if i was paying for it — so unless i have to go back to London on business again, i probably won’t be staying here again anytime soon.

MyHotel Bloomsbury is a wonderful boutique hotel located in the heart of London. It has a Feng Shui theme throughout which means that it is great to escape to from the hustle and bustle of the city — think candles, exotic scents and soft furnishings. When you walk in you immediately feel calm and tranquil and the reception staff are lovely and always friendly. The conference rooms often hold Reiki and alternative therapy events and the rooms are very minimal but decorated in a wonderful way, continuing the feng shui theme with high ceilings and east meets west style décor. The gym is also called the Energy room which somehow makes it seem more appealing and less of an endurance! Yo Sushi is located next door as part of the hotel plus the bar which serves a delicious range of coffee and pastries in the morning, homemade sweets and herbal teas after lunch and a more main meals for dinner. The bar is actually always buzzing on a night but doesn’t detract from the general calming theme. A lovely place to relax for the night!
