Top City Hotel Reviews

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"The only downside is the closest tube station isn't that close and the ones that are the closest have really minimal weekend hours... so getting back and forth to Covent Garden ( where we spent a lot of time and saw shows) it wasnt the easiest commute."

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for two nights with my husband and 17 year old son. We stayed in the triple room which is basically three single mattresses on a slightly raised frame with a hallway at the foot to the bathroom. It is VERY basic, the pictures online do reflect it accurately. To find the room was a quite a maze, it's a deceptively large hotel. You feel like you are underground as there are no windows in the whole place but actually we were on the 7th floor. When we arrived there were bags of garbage piled outside our room as well as a discarded suitcase which took about 24 hours to disappear. There are minimal staff onsite but they were helpful with the check in process on the tablet. There is no bottle filling station in the hotel (which would be a great addition!) but the tap water in the bathroom is potable. There are very few amenities (shampoo + body wash in the shower but no conditioner, one pillow/ mattress and unable to request extra, etc) but I guess you get what you're paying for. It was still $800+ in our local currency, so not what I would classify as super budget tbh, but I guess it was high time in London. Wouldn't rule out staying here again, especially if we are only using our room for sleep."

Yotel London City

8/10 Good

"Checkout is it 11:00 , if you want to extend by one hour there a £15 additional charge."

nhow London

10/10 Excellent

"very Quirky place, interesting decor the staff were exceptionally helpful, just a very different quirky hotel with great staff and amenities"

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fast and efficient check in. Room comfortable and quiet."

LSE Rosebery Hall - Campus Accommodation

8/10 Good

"Unlike a conventional hotel this is student accommodation which functions as a hotel during the summer. I wasn't sure what to expect so will give some extra details for others who might be considering it too. Positives and things that felt like a typical hotel: + A manned reception desk, key-card operated rooms. + Bed is already made-up with sheets, plus a towel and toiletries. + Guests staying at the hotel were tourists and workers of a variety of ages - it felt very much like a hotel. + The included breakfast had all the usual options: cooked food, continental, toast with condiments, automatic coffee machines etc. + Was mostly quiet and peaceful during my stay. It didn't seem crowded. + £50 for a single room and a cooked breakfast in central London is unbeatable value! + Room and facilities were clean. + There are also small shared kitchens (but they were not very equipped so check before planning to eat in!) Differences to expect versus a hotel: - Obviously the facilities are very functional and not intended to look stylish - maybe not one for a honeymoon! - Shared shower/toilet facilities - not busy but more logistics in terms of bringing stuff to the shower. Shower temperature was inconsistent and mostly cold. - No aircon and room was quite warm when I arrived. No TV in the room, but communal TV room. - As others have said - mattress and pillow were a bit meagre. Great value, comfortable stay. I would have no hesitation in staying again."

Citadines Barbican London
