The Bloomsbury Palace tries hard and is successful at many levels. I was able to walk directly to the hotel from Warren Station. It is located about 5 minutes away from Tottenham Court Road which has great shops, restaurants, coffee bars, and food outlets. Goodge Station was also nearby and I used it regularly. The breakfast is well presented. The staff at the front desk are helpful and very kind. The hotel is suited to able-bodied travelers since it has no lift and several flights of stairs. The key word is bijou. I was in a single room and had to get on my knees to plug in a greatly appreciated kettle. To access the safe I had to lie down on the floor. As advertised, the hotel had no air conditioning and the summer heat never left the room. It is the perfect hotel for some, and it is well-priced. I would recommend this hotel to anyone good on their feet. It is not suited for people with ambulatory disabilities. While there are ground-floor rooms, breakfast is served on the lower level. The hotel is run honestly, with integrity, and does not pretend to be anything other than what it is and for that, I am most grateful. Again, the staff are kind, and friendly, and do their best to accommodate guests.
