"I looked for the best deal in town and wasn’t disappointed. Minutes from Paddington station but miles away from noise, cited in a leafy square. For a hostel, this was perfect. Unexpected extras included fridge, microwave, desk fans, kettle and no need to ask for more towels or loo paper. Crisp clean bedding, fresh feel. This is basic done with style and the staff were lovely. Would definitely book with them again. Thank you."

Top London Hotel Reviews

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

10/10 Excellent

"Great time trying something new. The place is great and in the middle of everything! I got a single but had to upgrade to a double for more comfort. But all in all it was exactly what I needed."

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

8/10 Good

"Great location by the Tower Bridge. Easy walk to the train station. The lobby bar closes extremely early which was a disappointment but other than that no complaints. Would stay here again - we had 3 in our room and it was a no room to move. These rooms are better suited for two - our other party had a two person room and it was just fine !"

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"Zedwell is windowless cocoons, know that going in. But if you want clean, quiet, comfortable a stone's throw from Piccadilly Circus, for the cost of a middle US Interstate Hampton Inn, this is your place. No chair, no table, no amenities. Bed, walk-in shower and toilet. Good wifi, plenty of charging plugs. When I'm in London, time spent in the hotel room feels like a waste. So Zedwell all but forces me to get out and see this extraordinary city. Then when I come home to crash, it's lights out, pitch dark, total quiet, and I'll be ready for the next day."

Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a great hotel to stay. The staff are helpful and friendly, the large lobby is great for meeting up with friends or hanging out. The rooms were quiet. We had a problem with the thermostat in our room, not sure if we couldn't figure it out but it kept resetting itself. There's a small "tuck " shop where you can pick up insundries and a small cafe where you can get a coffee. The restaurant has a good menu and the food and service was great. We also used the bar, where we had a light snack and great non-alcoholic cocktails. Perhaps best of all is the hotels location close to Windsor for a day out but most of all for those who love plane spotting it overlooks one of the runways. I probably spent 3 -4 hours standing on the grassy mound outside watching the planes."

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

10/10 Excellent

"I booked this hotel for a brief business trip to London. It is situated in a very quiet location, yet remains within easy walking distance of the Underground. The room was spotless, and both the bed and pillows were highly comfortable. The breakfast selection was excellent, offering something for everyone's taste. Additionally, the staff were kind enough to let me check in an hour early; this was a massive help as it allowed me to freshen up and drop off my luggage before heading out. All in all, when compared to similar hotels in the area, it offers reasonable value for money."
