Looking for reviews on this hotel, which is located in Bloomsbury, London. Thanks!

Not stayed there, but have at others in area. You will like the neighbourhood, it's were I've always stayed when I go (went last May)

It seems to be affordable for a weekend, which is what I'm liking! Thanks.

There are also quite a few B&Bs in the area. The Tavistock is a large hotel, as you've figured out
From area, I've walked to St Paul's, the City, Covent Garden,etc.. so it's a good starting point.

The Tavistock is awful! Sheets that don't reach the end of the mattress, have holes and very very narrow beds - unless its had a facelift recently is extremely old and basic.
The adjoining Hotel - The Royal National is a bit better but overloaded with coach tours so there is a traffic jam of people at certain times. The breakfasts are diabolical!
If you must be in the area, try The President and request a top floor room (have their own elevator)These rooms can be very hot in summer. Theres no aircon in any of the affor-mentioned hotels.

We love the Bloomsbury area but prefer The Ibis Euston a bit further along.

I stayed at the Royal National many moons ago...it was..sad. I was on a coach tour!

At the time the Tavistock was...similar.

Trip Advisor will give you some reviews...

A couple of year back I did a British Airways tour and they included in the package the St Giles, which was OK. I got a very good deal, for London, on the Academy, via Expedia.

I would NOT under any circumstances consider staying at the Tavistock. At any price . . . .

If you want a full service place on a budget - then go w/ priceline. If you want to pick a specific place on a budget - then look at LSE student accomodations.

But definitely don't stay at the Tavistock.
