This is one of my favorite hotels and I plan to come back again. Great location and wonderful staff, I felt safe walking in the area, and public transportation was very convenient. I really appreciated that if I didn't want to go out to eat, I could go downstairs and have a delicious casual meal in the bar or a more formal one in the restaurant. Can't recommend it enough.

Perfect base for a London excursion. Spotless rooms and common areas, comfortable bed, professional staff and in the heart of Bloomsbury district. Get the breakfast included with your stay (a great value), and enjoy a pint in the bar and some Indian delicacies at lunch or in the evening.

Upper floor garden view rooms are the best but other rooms work too! Excellent breakfast buffet, perfect location for accessing the West End Theatre, the British Museum, local buses to EVERYWHERE in London, etc. Reasonable, fair pricing. Nearby restaurants (Italian just across the street is low priced award-winning fare). Away from the crowds and noise but walkable to Leceister Square and Euston, with tubes and buses nearby for easy access! 5th time staying there, feels like a "home neighborhood" at this point.

This is where I always stay when visiting or working in London. Near Russell Square station, a few minutes walk from the British Museum. Also close to Euston and Kings Cross stations. You can walk to Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Oxford Street and the theatres in the west end. Bloomsbury is a quieter area, just out of the noise and crowds. Clean rooms and helpful staff. Great value. Their rooms have multiple pricing options and discounts for longer stays, so be sure to check those options out when you book a room.

This was my second stay at Tavistock Hotel. Both times I stayed for about 7 nights. The double rooms are a good size, the bed is medium-firm and comfortable, and everything is very clean. The hotel is older and rooms can smell musty. But I was happy with my stay overall. Staff are very kind with early check-in. It's also convenient to stay in the area. If I am back in London again, I would easily choose Tavistock again! A comfortable mattress is not always a given with affordable London hotels!
