Small Luxury Hotels of the World - the Academy

Bloomsbury London|0.43km from Council of British International Schools Ltd
The photos and website information about The Academy are incredibly deceptive about this boutique hotel. Sounded and looked lovely online and with a middling price of £188.00 per night B&B sounded a good choice for a solo mini trip to London. The reality was incredibly different. The hotel is scruffy and shabby and the loos smell of fish. Sadly, the service was non-existent and not at the level I would expect of a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. I had a single room (which I chose as it was just me) on the ground floor overlooking the courtyard. It as very basic, but adequate and unlike the other reviews, it was quiet (except from the noisy air-con system). The en-suite was tiny, but the shower was reasonably powerful. As many have already mentioned, the room was stiflingly hot, with a small and inadequate air-con unit which struggled with the heat. I can only imagine what it would have been like when we had the 40C heatwave. I struggled to use the remote control device to work the air con and so, at 12.30am in my dressing gown, I went in search of someone to help me. Daniel came into my room and helped me to get the aircon working and it tried its best to cool the room down. By the next day, and with it on 24/7 the room did finally cool down. As someone else has also mentioned the lights from the aircon system lit up the whole room like a disco! The lights outside the room in the corridor also didn't turn off at night and so the room was bathed in a bright white light from outside and red, green and yellow lights from various fuse things in the room. So, once the air-con was working as best as it could, my attention then turned to the lights! I propped open the en-suite door to block out the light from the corridor, and then managed to pin and stuff towels and a spare pillow case over the disco lights to dim the bright glare. As you can imagine, the first night was a bit of a nightmare with not much sleep. Breakfast the next day was good and the staff in The Refectory were the first to greet me with a welcoming smile and were so helpful and attentive. The breakfast (and staff in the Refectory) have saved this review from being the lowest rating of Terrible. I am incredibly disappointed with my two night stay at The Academy and regret staying there. To finish on a positive note, the location was great and easy to walk to all the places that I wanted to walk to. So great location for Soho, Piccadilly, Covent Garden etc, but poor service and a tired and tatty hotel. So, Bloomsbury is super, just choose an alternative hotel.

Grange Portland Hotel

Bloomsbury London|0.12km from Council of British International Schools Ltd
A company opened several hotels in the same community, and it was originally scheduled to be Portland. Later, it was said that it was contracted by the government, so it was changed to the deluxe room in Buckingham next door (the area was visually 20 square meters +) and then returned For late check-out and great, I spent 18 pounds and added an English breakfast. The restaurant is on the first floor of the Whitehall Farm Hotel (back-to-back with the British Museum), divided into indoor and outdoor gardens (just below the British Museum/pictured), and the environment is great ! Without air conditioning, it’s hotter in summer, but it’s cooler to sleep when you open the window. Go to the main entrance of the British Museum, the intersection of the road is the coco milk tea shop (3min walk), which is great, and walk in the opposite direction on the same street (about 3min walk from the hotel) and you will see the Hunan Renxiang Restaurant! For a Hunanese, this is simply great! The location of the hotel is very good, the service staff are very enthusiastic, and the customer service is also very good! The decoration of the room is partial to the old school British style. After all, it is an old property in the city center. Whether you like it or not depends on personal preference. I went to sleep when I was too tired. I only stayed for one night. I didn’t have time to take pictures of the room. I want to live here next time I go 😁

Grange Beauchamp Hotel
4.1/5117 Reviews
Bloomsbury
Overall I had a very good stay. It is a short walk to Russel Square station on the Piccadilly line or Holborn station on the Central line. It is also quite handy to St. Pancreas station (20 minute walk). The British museum is around the corner. The room was comfortable, clean, quiet and had the best blackout blinds I have ever seen in a hotel. I deducted 1 star for a few small issues. The pillows seemed original to the hotel. Lumpy, odd sizes and not very pleasant. I also found it odd there was no mini-fridge in my room. It would have been nice to be able to store some cold drinks etc. There was a kettle to make coffee and tea. Great selection of teas but only instant coffee which wasn't as bad as I remember. The UHT milk and Lotus Biscoff biscuits were a nice added touch.

Mercure London Bloomsbury Hotel
3.8/5112 Reviews
Bloomsbury
This hotel isn’t all bad. I wonder if I just had a lot of little things adding up to a bad experience. However. My room had no windows. I can live with that, but hadn’t expected it. The overhead skylight had a blind, but there was no way to close it. So there’s the worry about privacy, then early morning light came streaming in. My clothes iron was useless and the plug was loose. The replacement wasn’t any more effective. The phone in the room seemed to connect and disconnect itself from the network. When I needed to ring reception, I couldn’t. And overnight it would light up randomly. Every 45 minutes something clicked loudly. Presumably heating or plumbing, I never worked it out. But it kept disturbing me. None of these things are awful in themselves. But this morning I’m exhausted before I go off for the day. On the plus side, the room is clean and comfy. The bathroom clean and useable. There’s a pod coffee machine and guest mini fridge. The staff are friendly. Breakfast for me as a veggie was standard, which is fine. Honestly, I’d stay again, but never in that particular room.

The surrounding subway stations, supermarkets, bars and visits are very convenient. I often introduce colleagues who are on a business trip to this hotel. If you book in advance, the price is reasonable.

A fantastic hotel to stay in. It is in a fantastic location, just a 2 minute walk from the nearest subway station. I cannot think of a single bad thing about this place. The staff were all really friendly and accommodating and the rooms were of a good size. Would definitely recommend!
