Top London Hotel Reviews

Royal National Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel right in the heart of the action. Staff friendly and helpful. Great bonus having parking on site . Highly recommended!!"

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in a fantastic location right in the heart of central London beside Tottenham Court Station. The rooms are small however are newly renovated with a great shower and air conditioning unit which is rare for London, most other hotels in the area are not as clean and don't have AC. They only change bedsheets and towels every 4 days but they can be requested at no charge from the front desk. Overall I highly recommend this hotel for a weekend in London"

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

8/10 Good

"We were a bit worried after reading the bad reviews but this hotel was great. The location was 10/10, right next to theatre shows, Soho, Piccadilly Circus, china town. We could not fault the staff they were very helpful, the lobby smells amazing when you walk in. Rooms were spacious, quite minimal but as it’s intended to be. The air conditioning worked great. The only reason why I didn’t give 5* is because unfortunately this hotel is connected to a night club which plays very loud booming music until 3am. If you are on the right side of the hotel (which we were) then you will hear the bass pounding all night until 3am. This was a massive shame because we would have stayed here again in future but unfortunately this has put us off staying again. If you have this hotel booked I recommende taking headphones just in case."
