This is a pub/hotel. It is a pub with a small number of boutique rooms. If you want a templated hotel with all rooms identical then stay at a Premier Inn, Travelodge or Holiday Inn Express. It has character. We had a fantastic bathroom, very comfortable bed and great food in the pub. A twenty minute underground trip into the West End made an ideal location.

Not worth the money
Noise from the pub and function room was very loud. The lady on the service desk wasn't informative I was stood outside a lift for a good while not knowing I had to put a code in first to operate it. The downstairs toilets smell really bad. Room was decorated well but I wouldn't stay there again for that price.

The Bedford is a pub with a small number of boutique rooms. The room I stayed in was comfortable and clean, however the air-conditioning wasn't very effective and the sink was blocked. We knew that there would be some noise in the rooms but I must warn you that they are incredibly loud! Earplugs are provided but on the Saturday night the club night below went on until 2am. The Sunday, however, was much quieter and very pleasant. Overall we would stay here again, although perhaps not on a Saturday night!

Such a great hotel, we were only staying one night while visiting London for an event in nearby Brixton, but will definitely be back. It was easily walkable and plenty of transport links nearby if needed. Room was beautiful, very comfy, and we had a gorgeous bathroom. And having a coffee machine in the room is always an added bonus! The Bedford itself is fascinating with lots of event space and full of character. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Will hopefully have more time next time to make use of the cracking freestanding bath!

A good accommodation option
Decent accommodation albeit a little noisy on account of the proximity of the railway station. Bathroom a little confined but altogether good value when compared with central London hotels.

Two rooms -same price - but one clearly a better standard than the other (room 8) which I found odd and frustrating - as that meant one of us got a worse experience. Don't see how these are in the same price bracket - the worse room (room 4) no functional heating, very loud (rooms sit ontop of an massive nightclub belonging to the same pub - which is not clear from site at all). Perhaps its a lot nicer in the week when not so much chaos. The decor from the site and inhouse for the room is nice but it says its a hotel and projects a luxury experience. Severely let down by the inconsistency in rooms and venue club mash-up which doesnt seem to be soundproofed at all (been to other hotels which house their own night clubs and never had it spoil the stay). I sound like one of those moany people we all hate but felt sorely let down - good marketing for sure as I was pulled in by that, only to be so disappointed
