myhotel Bloomsbury

Estuvimos alojados en el hotel del 17 al 20 de agosto, éste hotel es muy cómodo por su situación, el desayuno continental es muy bueno, y además tiene acceso a internet con wifi y ordenadores en la planta sótano.

Las habitaciones son pequeñas, pero como en la mayoría de los hoteles de London,

nuestra habitación estaba limpia y el personal era muy correcto en el trato.

Arrived at the hotel on a very wet Sunday afternoon we choose the hotel as my Husband was attending a business meeting on the Monday, and the hotel is situated in a good central location, we got a taxi from Euston and arrived at the hotel within 10 min.

On arrival the receptionist greeted us very well and booked us in very swiftly, we had folllowing other TA reviews of this hotel decided to upgrade to a suite room, the room was of a good size on the side of the hotel, the room was described as minimal but for our taste this bordered on stark, but it was clean and the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was of a decent size and as other people have commented there were some nice bathroom products.

We quickly unpacked as we were only staying for one night, and went down to the bar for a quick drink as we had booked to have lunch elsewhere and wait for a taxi the staff were extreamly nice and friendly.

The public areas of the hotel are also very minimal in decor, downstairs they have a small library type room but we did not have the opportunity to use this.

The hotel is in a good central location however for speed we only used taxis to get around this did prove costly because the traffic especially on Monday was very busy and the taxi meters keep running even when you are not moving.

As we had booked lunch on both Sunday and Monday in other restaurants we did not use the hotel restaurant but on Sunday it was very quiet but on Monday it was packed so I assume the food was good.

Breakfast according to my Husband as I did not eat it was very basic.

All in all a decent hotel with helpful and friendly staff OK for an overnight business trip.

Overall this is a great hotel, good location, friendly staff and nice clean, well appointed rooms.

My only word of warning would be, be wary of booking their extended packages like their "Romance Package", which boosts of;

• Myromance is for those who simply want to share their inclusive box of chocolates with a loved one

• A deliciously chilled bottle of Laurent-Perrier Champagne served in the bedroom.

• With a candle to create just the right atmosphere

• Aromatherapy massage oil.

• Beautiful soft ostrich feather.

• In the morning, a room service continental breakfast ensures the bedroom is the only place to be.

However when we got there we had to explain what the package was to the reception staff and when we got to our room there was nothing in it. I had to call down and ask for the package to be put in (romantic surprise!), and we went out for the evening. When we returned there was a bottle of champagne plonked on the dresser.

That was it! For the extra £50 that was all they could be bothered to do.

It's a reflection of the times, people are excellent at marketing, great at developing ideas and up-selling experiences, slick and adept at taking our money, but lazy and reticent when it actually comes to the physicality of doing anything.

We were offered the package contents in the morning, an apology and some money off, but the moment had passed.

It's a nice hotel, all I'm saying is make sure if you book a package you get someone's name and make someone accountable for it on your arrival, or it just won't happen and you'll look like a fool infront of your partner like I did.
