A short guide to Bloomsbury - Soho
The University of London and the British Museum give Bloomsbury a bookish air. Charlotte Street offers good restaurants, while Tottenham Court Road has electronic stores to suit all budgets, and links to the 300 shops of buzzing Oxford Street. Trendy Soho is a few minutes away by foot. Full of local character, it offers interesting pubs, top restaurants, West End theatres and a rich, sometimes risqué nightlife.

"not impressed at all"
Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Mar 6, 2008
I asked for 2 beds in the booking ( twin beds) and when i arrived, they proposed me a double bed and a sofa bed. I dont think it satisfies my expectations because the sofa bed is not comfortable at all.Furthermore, i specified 2 beds in the reservation.

"Staff not competent on booking tours"
Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 29, 2008
The majority of the staff ironically does not speak English. Staff tried but were not successful in booking tours. Provided misinformation. Did not credit me for their errors.

"highly recommended"
Reviewed by Christina of New York on Apr 24, 2008
The room came with not only a fridge, but a mircowave, tea kettle, ironing board, and everything you could possibly need for your stay. The staff was friendly and even let us keep our luggage at the hotel until we left for the airport on our last day. The rooms are immaculate and the neighbourhood is quite beautiful, only steps away from both Russell Sq. and The British Musuem. I'd definitely stay here again.

"En gedigen overraskelse!"
Reviewed by J of Norge on Sep 9, 2009
Vi ble møtt av en utrolig hyggelig butler, og av en fantastisk resepsjonist. Det var bare begynnelsen på et valdig bra opphold. Rommet var gedigent, med stor dobbeltseng, samt barneseng til han på 8 mnd. I tillegg var det et flott og reint bar, samt en stor kjøkenkrok, der vi kunne fikse te, kaffe og lignende. Litt trangt i gangene i hotellet, men hva gjør det? Her kommer vi til å reise tilbake!

"bellissimo albrgo"
Reviewed by A of Bergamo on Aug 27, 2009
Le stanze dell'albergo sono molto belle, spaziose, confortevoli, dotate di cassaforte, piano cottura, divano, poltroncine, televisore al plasma, lettore cd... La pulizia è ottima, il personale è molto gentile e pronto ad esaudire ogni tua richiesta. Vicino alle metropolitane di Holborn e Russsel Square si può raggiungere facilmente ogni luogo di interesse.

"Quando tornerò a londra lo prenoterò"
Reviewed by M of Teramo on Mar 27, 2008
Ho soggiornato presso l'hotel portland dal 21 marzo al 24 marzo 2008, sotto il periodo di pasqua. è un albergo molto carino, confortevole e pulito. la camera era grande, con salottino e cucinino. avevo prenotato una doppia con 2 letti singoli e invece ho trovato 2 letti matrioniali. la camera era dotata di tutti i confort necessari. inoltre nel prezzo, anche se non lo sapevo, era compresa la colazione. l'unico inconveniente, ma nulla di rilevante, era che la colazione si faceva presso un altro hotel, a 4 portoni di distanza. la zona è buona, vicinissima a 2 fermate della metro importanti, russel square e holborn. la zona è tranquilla, nella via ci sono molti hotel.
