First Impressions
BnBNova – 1BR – Fitzrovia & Bloomsbury sits on a quiet stretch of Tottenham Street, and honestly, you’d walk right past it if you weren’t looking. That’s actually part of its charm — it feels like you’re staying in a proper London residential building rather than some touristy hotel. The entrance is understated, almost residential, which I mean in the best possible way.
Location & Neighborhood
You’re basically planted right between two of London’s most walkable neighborhoods here. Fitzrovia’s got this lovely village feel with Charlotte Street’s restaurants just around the corner, while Bloomsbury’s literary history is practically on your doorstep. The British Museum is maybe a ten-minute stroll, and you know what? You can actually walk to Oxford Street without wanting to tear your hair out because you’re approaching from the quieter side.
The Apartment Experience
This four-star spot gets the apartment living thing right — it’s not trying to be a fancy hotel, but rather a proper one-bedroom that feels like home. The kitchen is small but functional (I made coffee every morning without issue), and the room has enough space that you’re not tripping over your suitcase. The Wi-Fi actually works, the shower has decent pressure, and there’s a washing machine tucked away that saved me a trip to the laundromat.
Practical Matters
Look, there’s no on-site restaurant or fancy concierge service — this isn’t that kind of place. But the 24/7 check-in system works smoothly, and when I had a question about the heating, someone got back to me within an hour. Parking isn’t included, but honestly, you don’t need a car here anyway. The nearest tube stations are Goodge Street and Warren Street, both about a five-minute walk.
Why Guests Love It
What really works about BnBNova is that it doesn’t oversell itself. It’s clean, quiet, and gives you that “living like a local” experience without the premium price tag of central London hotels. The 9.4 rating makes sense when you consider what you’re getting — it’s not flashy, but everything works as it should. Perfect for travelers who want independence and a proper night’s sleep in one of London’s most pleasant neighborhoods.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
