London City Centre

"We had a wonderful stay on this beautiful and cozy narrowboat. If you like a little bit of glamping and adventure combined with staying in Central London we would definitely recommend this lovely restored narrowboat. The boat is on a relatively quiet but vibrant location on Regent’s Canal and in the middle of the trendy area around Stone Coal Yard and Kings Cross station with beautiful shops, galleries and restaurants. We would also recommend to take a walk or bike along Regent’s canal to Camden...

5. Cosy Canal Boat in Little Venice for Family & Friends

City of Westminster

"We had a peaceful, lovely stay. Little Venice is an easy walk from Paddington Station, while also being a world in itself. The boat is cozy with a nice seating area near the entrance, a very workable kitchen, and room outside for two or three to enjoy drinks or a meal. It is a treat to see swans and other water birds out the windows. Rather than run the engine for hot water, we used the stove to warm up water for personal hygiene. The host left wood for heat, but we didn't need it. The...

Top London Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

10/10 Excellent

"The location was so good with easy access to buses and the underground and spectacular views of Big Ben and the London Eye. The staff were so nice and accommodating. Great restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. Our room was and spacious and clean. I just wish it had a slightly bigger shower and better lighting in the bathroom. Overall it was a wonderful place to stay."

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel was fab. A fantastic view of the bay, could only have been improved by a view of the bridge, but it was just a quick walk out the front door to get a bird's-eye view of it. Awesome The staff were very good too. We arrived late and they were very helpful getting us settled. I wish i'd know i could have added a complimentary breakfast to the room - but that really was my problem. Air conditioning could be added so that those of us from the Antipodes are a bit more comfortable. WE Had a great stay - thank you so much"

The Cumberland, London

8/10 Good

"This is a solid, very nice mid-tier hotel. Nothing fancy but great for an affordable stay. Its location is excellent, right next to a major underground stop. The only disappointment was the restaurants: breakfast buffet - decent not more; Hell’s Kitchen - well presented, but pricey and not very flavorful, and Lirica - below average in many ways. Bar was terrific however! So best to go elsewhere for dinners."
