First time stay at the Bedford and will be returning in future -- clean bright room (facing garden so quieter). Conveniently located between two tube stops (Russell Square & Holborn) and easy walking to St. Pancras & King's Cross. Helpful and gracious staff both at reception and at breakfast. Breakfast buffet was generous and above the usual mid-range hotel standard.

Except for the thin walls where I could hear loud neighbor voices, and no AC during the allergy season, everything is great.
