Rooms
Room types run from singles, doubles and twins to triples and family rooms, with Standard Plus versions offering more space. A buffet breakfast is served every morning. Early check-in and late check-out can be arranged if available, sometimes at a charge. It is one of Bloomsbury's bigger hotels, so it handles school and tour groups well.
Eating and drinking
Blooms Coffee & Pizza covers coffee, pastries, sandwiches, salads and stone-baked pizza, while The London Pub serves craft beer and ales, British sharing plates and live sport. There is also a self-service shop for snacks. The pub makes a convenient spot to catch a match without heading out. Conference rooms, luggage storage and a laundry service make it practical for longer stays and group trips. The 24-hour reception helps with late arrivals off Eurostar.
