If I ever return to London I will stay at the Bloomsbury. The location is excellent, the restaurant was very convenient, the porters and room staff are very helpful. The room was comfortable (we were upgraded when we checked in!). I don't have a photo of the hotel itself but it is very close to a nice shopping area and the British Museum.
