Very Good

very run down with beer stench. staff were off the first night. Elevators not accessible.
floor and room smelled like old beer.
dirty carpets
clogged shower and wash bin.
old worn off bed
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!
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

Have stayed there a few times as need to be in that particular area. Decoration looking a bit jaded. Wires at the end of the Tv aerial were bare so tv didn’t work. No bulb in one bedside light. However, Bed very comfortable. Lovely clean sheets, warm bathroom and towels and hot shower.

Great hotel, great music venue!
Shame about no breakfast.
Would go again
An absolutely joyous experience. We had no idea how much fun it would be. Having checked in, went to our room and on the way saw there was a dance class taking place which looked and sounded fun. We went to the bar for food and discovered it was half price on a Tuesday! Whilst having food noticed there was a play taking place close to the bar area !

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Really nice old building and the staff are very friendly, but not suitable for a family as the bar area is incredibly loud until past 2 AM. Rooms have been done to a nice standard but some fixtures and fittings are tired/broken.
Bedroom was very boutique, however one bedside lamp taped up, bathroom sink took ages to empty, shower leaked on the floor , just some simple housekeeping to sort. Bed very comfortable and Fridays and Saturdays can be noisy. However great stay and would go back.
