The Bedford Hotel rooms did not have air conditioning. Only the lobby was air conditioned. While it's the norm in the UK not to have a/c, in this era of climate change and intense summer heatwaves, customers should be able to choose properties that are air conditioned. The website should state if a/c is available or not.
