Cheap budget hotels close to Bloomsbury
Cheap hotels in Bloomsbury is a relative term, as the Bloomsbury hotel area is not the cheapest central London area in which to find accommodation.
On paper, the district should have cheap accommodation, with London University and medical schools in the district but it is not an area full of cheaper options. The cheap hotels available are the mostly small mid-range bed and breakfast-style establishments.
Most of the budget accommodation in Bloomsbury is in terraced buildings of three to six storeys.
Bloomsbury location benefits
Bloomsbury is a short walk from many of London's West End Theatres with Covent Garden and Leicester Square only a 15-min walk away. Bloomsbury is one of London's main literary areas and has many bookshops, collector shops and the British Museum as its main tourist attraction.
The central location and its interesting environment mean you do pay a premium over some other hotel districts. We have a dedicated page for 4 or 5-star hotels in Bloomsbury if you would like to pay that little bit more.
