Loved by guests
"The view was also very charming as we could see a small park full of trees on which many birds would sing all day long."
"After booking many months ahead of our stay, it was such an unexpected surprise to roll in near midnight exhausted from our flight and open the door to the Dorothy Sayers Suite - a generous upgrade from our initial booking."
"The location meant that we could sleep with the windows open and without the steady drone of traffic experienced in most other London hotels."

Services & Events

“Stepping into this Bloomsbury hotel feels like discovering a well-kept secret; its unique charm lies in its connection to Goodenough College, imbuing it with a palpable sense of history and community. I found the location ideal-a serene garden square setting still puts you within easy reach of London's key attractions. It's a place where the echoes of academia meet the comforts of a modern hotel.”
