Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Gresham Hotel Bloomsbury's central London location stands out, being just a 15-minute walk from Euston Station and a similar distance to Piccadilly Circus, making it convenient. Many guests find the hotel a good value, especially given its proximity to major attractions and transport links. The rooms are basic, equipped with a bed, a wardrobe, and a window, and while some guests have mentioned that the carpets show wear, others appreciate the spaciousness, especially when traveling alone. Some rooms have shared bathrooms.

Central and Convenient Stay!

central locationfriendly staffsmall room
the location is fantastic, it is close to many main attractions! the staff were friendly and took great care of guests, which i appreciate. The room had a cool temperature, a real plus considering the hot weather.
i found the room to be quite small and it did not appear to be thoroughly cleaned (dust bunnies everywhere!). the shower was not easy to use. I wish there had been more attention to detail in these areas.
