Bonnington Hotel

stayed there 3 days at the end of january in a single room. wheni got into my room the door was open and a few tools and boards lying on the floor. i got another room, only to find, that could not sleep the first night because of a loud hummin from the heating/AC syste of the hotel (not of the room) got another room then, and it was better. agree with cleanness and friendliness of staff, great location

Very clean room, nice bathroom. Friendly staff, and good location, almost smack between the Russell St and Holborn tube stops. Breakfast is included and hearty, fairly wide choices. I ordered the pot pie for room service...not so good! But this hotel is great and good value.

This hotel was absolutely fabulous. We stayed here for three nights in August 2004 and the service of the hotel was of a high standard. The food served in the bar was good and the bar staff very friendly. Our room was of a standard size and very clean. The hotel is well located if you are staying in London and most places are within walking distance. We would highly recommend this hotel if you are thinking of staying in Central London.

I usually stay in this area when in London. Central to everything compared to Bayswater, and Bonnington is a favourite. Booked through BA Holidays when buying the BA-flight, and got an unbeatable offer. Stayed for four nights in early November. Booked a single, got a twin room on the top floor with lovely view over the rooftops towards British Museum. Clean room, good brekfast, nice bar and all in all good experience.

This is based on a mid-December 2004, 10 day stay. I agree fully with the two reviews immediately below. The Bonnington is a great value and a great location and the Standard Single room is quite small (by US standards). The staff at the Bonnington was very friendly. I stayed in two different standard singles and both were very clean and fresh, evidence of having been updated recently. As noted, the bathroom was almost as big as the room! But then again, I guess you don't go to London to hang out in your room. Just be aware that the... more

I love the Bonnington! Okay the rooms are a little small but they are spotlessly clean and have everything you want even including a couple of bottles of water! The location is great for the British Museum and you can stroll to Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Street and Covent Garden quite easily. The staff are very friendly and the breakfast with its choice of sausage, bacon, egg, tomatos, beans, fruit, cereal, breads and loads more can't be beaten! I've stayed in 6 London hotels in the past couple of months and none of... more

If you book late you will get a good price for this comfortable, large, modern hotel. I have stayed here for £50 per night which is way below their normal tariff. It is situated btween Russell Square and Holborn tube stations on the Northern line, equidistant between the two - about 5-10 mins walk. The breakfast is pretty good, a buffet with a large choice in an airy dining room. The single rooms (which I can only comment on) are very clean with spotless and surprisingly large bathrooms, and modern decor. But be aware that... more

I booked this hotel through a major site and read all reviews here about the Bonnington at TripAdvisor. Most of the reviews here are glowing and therefore I felt that staying at this hotel was an absolute no-lose situation. I even checked the Bonnington's website to ensure that the room we were receiving was adequate to our standards. I was in laughing disbelief upon opening the door to my room, upon check-in. This was absolutely nothing even closely resembling the rooms at The Bonnington's website. This room looked as if it were a... more

I have to echo all the positives and superlatives about the Bonnington. We stayed in an executive wing room May 12-15. The room was large, well-furnished and very well kept. The included breakfast was excellent. The proximity to the Britsh Museum was the initial attraction but when we discovered a Starbucks across the street from the BM we were ectatic! Wish we could have spent more time in London/Bonnington. When I return to London, I'm heading back to the Bonnington without a doubt!

The Bonnington is a great value and gives travellers a lot of amenities for a really good price. After checking in, the first thing you notice is the elevators. They're tiny. If you have a lot of luggage, you may need to take a couple trips (The elevator is about 3 foot x 7 foot and can hold hold 3 people plus 2 large suitcases). Like most London hotels, the room is quite small. Once you get over room's size, you find it has everything you need for a very pleasant stay. In terms of space, there is a couple foot walkway between the... more
