 Grange Hotels - Bloomsbury, LondonThere are so many choices when it comes to places to stay in London. So many neighborhoods and so many types of places - hotels, flats, airbnb, houseboats (seriously), and the list goes on. After much deliberation, we settled on the Grange White Hall hotel in the Bloomsbury area of London. This hotel was a Georgian townhouse in the 18th century, so it has a lot of character! Grange Hotels have a number of hotels around London (17!) most of which are 4 or 5 stars and have an affordable price point for their respective locations.  Front of Grange White Hall Hotel in Bloomsbury, London Grange Hotels own several hotels on Montague Street and the parallel Bedford Place. This makes for charming walks down the street in the evening.  Grange White Hall Hotel adds charm to Montague Street Grage White Hall - LocationYou're also literally steps away from the British Museum! You could easily pop in and out of the museum throughout your stay because it is so close. See artifacts like the Rosetta Stone, Samurai armor, ancient Mummies and more. I've heard there is a fabulous Bible themed tour here that you can reserve in multiple languages.  Entrance of The British Museum You are also a short walk from the Russell Square Tube Station. If you would like a shortcut, walk through Russell Square. Just be aware that the gates do shut later at night. In that case you'll just have to walk around the perimeter. No big deal, just a few more steps.

Our reservation included the full hot breakfast which was served buffet style in a charming room. Toast and coffee or tea were served to you by staff. The rest of the food you could help yourself to - fruit, cheeses, cold meats, boiled eggs, fried eggs, sausage, ham, grilled tomatoes. Lovely additions like nutella packets and Wilkin & Son's Tiptree preserves and honey in adorable tiny jars were also available.
Grange White Hall - Room Accomodations at Grange White Hall Hotel in Bloomsbury, London The room featured a double bed with two small end tables. A closet with a safe, a hair dryer, tv, and wifi. There was a console on the wall next to the bathroom which you could pull down and it housed a hot water kettle for making tea or coffee which was also available along with sugar and creamer in that console. Each day we enjoyed biscoff biscuits along with our tea!! I was pleased with the room. It had everything we needed. It kept very warm, and at times we had to open the windows which was no problem. We requested a garden view room per a tip from tripadvisor, and enjoyed hearing some of the birds singing outside our window! The bath tub was incredibly tall. I've never had to step so high up into a tub/shower. Be careful when entering, but even more so when exiting because it could be easy to slip when the tub is wet.
