I had a wonderful 3 night stay at Bedford Hotel. The staff were very welcoming, helpful, and happy. As a solo traveler, I booked a single room and was assigned room 101 upon arrival. The room was ready when I arrived at 9am which I greatly appreciated!! It was small but exactly as pictured on Hotels.com, so there were no surprises. My only complaint is that the walls were thin enough to hear conversations in the hallway and the room next door. Didn’t bother me as I packed my ear plugs! Overall a very good stay.

Room was clean and the staff were polite and helpful. Great location with tube stations and bus stops nearby. One complaint is the hotel's thin walls. I could hear everything in the next room (for example, the fact that Andy's companions were upset with him for peeing on the toilet seat).

Complete noise fest from start to finish…paper thin walls and fellow guests with a distinct lack of regard for others not to mention noise pollution from the main road and the quintessential cast iron man hole cover clunking all night every time a vehicle went over it…avoid like the plague…

Absolutely loved this hotel. It's so close to so many things! It felt like we were off the beaten path but within a half an hour's walk of any major attraction. Easy access to Metro. Lots of convenience stores, restaurants and shops right out the front door. Not to mention the British museum just a block away. The room was clean efficient and had a good view of the garden which I liked. Ken, along with all the reception staff were outstanding. They were always willing to help with anything we needed and greeted us when we came in and when we left the property for our daily adventure. They were so professional and polite. I hate to say it but I just wasn't used to that level of service ...and I've been to all the MGM properties in Las Vegas including Bellagio, NoMad, Cosmo, etc. These guys are great!
