myhotel Bloomsbury

C'est un très bel hôtel, très bien situé non loin du british museum, covent garden et des magasins !!! L'accueil très chaleureux, la cadre très beau ainsi que les chambres. En résumé que des points positifs, j'ai été très satisfaite, n'hésitez pas à y aller et de boire leurs délicieux cocktails où encore de profitez des nombreux massages qu'ils proposent.

I stayed with my partner at MyHotel Bloomsbury at the end of November 2008 as part of a business trip. Initial impressions were great, as the hotel exterior is very smart, and check-in service was very friendly.

We were given a double room on the third floor, directly opposite the lift and next door to the cleaners' storage room. The room was small, but adequate, and the bathroom (with full bath) was nicely fitted. The shower had a good pressure and maintained it's temperature.

Unfortunately, the floorboards in the room were incredibly squeaky, and so were the floorboards in the room above. This disturbed our sleep, and the noise from the storage cupboard next door woke us up early.

The reception on the TV was not great, with a very fuzzy picture. Wi-Fi worked as described. I was disappointed by the amount of hanging space provided, and that an iron and ironing board was not provided in the room, although I note that this could be provided on request.

Breakfast was a typical continental affair, with croissants and various other pastries, breads, cold meats, fruit etc. Make sure you get this included in your room rate, as it costs £14.00 on it's own and is definitely not worth this. Other than that, the breakfast was very nice, but the staff were a little off-putting, staring at us while we ate.

Final point is that the decor in the hotel both in the room and in the communal areas was of poor quality and looked rushed and done on a small budget - not what you expect from a 4 star hotel. Some of the plasterboard walls in our room were starting to detach from the beams behind, which was quite concerning.

We stayed at myhotel on New Years Eve (2007/2008). Not many hotels were available last minute for a stay at this time of year so we considered ourselves lucky to get in anywhere.

The check in was fast. The hotel was easy to find (being just round the corner from the tube) and it was a few steps away from Oxford Street and many other attractions besides.

The rooms were nicely presented but tiny with windows that spanned from about waist height almost to the very top of their high ceilings. The windows had long blinds which did not keep out the light that well so I suggest you take something to cover your eyes whilst you sleep if this could be a problem for you. We decided that if the room had been turned on its side we may have got a size of bedroom compatible with the price we paid.

The bathroom was very small. If you sit on the loo your knees are directly under the sink (not good for my partner who is over 6ft tall)....Looking on the bright side, you could kill two birds with one stone by brushing your teeth whilst sitting there doing your business!

The bath(shower) had a fixed screen (not a good idea in a bathroom so small) which meant that you had to contort your body to get between the loo and the bath to enter it - a shower curtain would have utilised the space a bit better.

In general, the room was clean and modern with everything you could ask for except for the absence of a mini bar/fridge (oh, and a bit more space).

The price went up for New Year to around £150 for the night inclusive of breakfast - by the way, the staff in the dining room were very accommodating and the breakfast was both delicious and filling.

This was a nice hotel in that area but we stayed a the Jury's Inn and had a room 4 times the size for less than we paid here - the Jury's is also a very nice place to stay.

Don't be put off unless you are claustrophobic as this is a very nice hotel but then again don't pay over the odds for a room here either as you don't get a lot of space for your money.
