great location. Comfortable. Great staff

the room was very comfortable, if not large (this is central London, after all). Service was great, staff was friendly and the location was really great with three underground stops nearby. There were good restaurants nearby. While not particularly cheap, it wasn't outrageously priced, especially for that part of London.

The Bedford Hotel rooms did not have air conditioning. Only the lobby was air conditioned. While it's the norm in the UK not to have a/c, in this era of climate change and intense summer heatwaves, customers should be able to choose properties that are air conditioned. The website should state if a/c is available or not.
