Hotels near Dr. Johnsons' House

"Overall the hotel was great. The staff were friendly, the room was clean, and it’s in a fantastic location. However, there are few things to be aware of. If your room faces the main road, it will be very loud and bright until at least midnight (later on weekends). The blackout curtains do a great job at blocking the light from the street, but this causes the room to become stuffy very quickly since the windows are the only form of ventilation. It was not a surprise to me that there was no air conditioning in our room so my expectations were set, but it was a major issue for my travel partner. Additionally, the only water refill station is in the lobby and no carafe is provided in the room. Because of this, it was much more convenient to buy a pack of water bottles for the room which unfortunately created more waste. And lastly, I found it odd that our beds were on wheels. This may not be the case for all rooms, but if you stay here and have a bed on wheels - be prepared to stub your toe multiple times daily. It definitely isn’t a deal breaker, but was incredibly annoying. Despite the things mentioned above, I would 100% consider staying at the Bedford Hotel again and would recommend it to anyone I know traveling to London."

"Great location, great staff, clean rooms. I really enjoyed my stay. The only caveat is that most of the rooms have windows facing an internal courtyard and are relatively close to opposing room windows which are less than 20 feet away. You can clearly look into other rooms and vice versa. They have curtains of course but having these drawn all the time can be a tad depressing. I said to hell with privacy and left them open all the time (apologies to anyone looking into my room's window at any particularly delicate moment). :-o"

"Everthing was very good , breakfast was very good the only thing I would change and this is from my point of view was that the toilet were to low which when getting on in years can be a bit of a problem. The hotel is located in just the right area."

"The location of this hotel is great - we walked from King's Cross. it is reasonably priced. Bed was comfortable and shower is a step in (good for older people like us). We needed more electrical outlets than we got (we both use CPAP machines) but with an extension cord we made it work. Staff are very friendly and professional. Many restaurants within a short walk. Lobby has a nice atmosphere."

"Music playing from 2.45am in my room. Complained to front desk - didn’t care at all. Paid for somewhere to sleep and didn’t skeep"
