Bob W London Hyde Park

Bob W London Hyde Park

8/10 Good
"Room was spacious and clean. We got one on the ground floor so it was noisy, it would’ve been bad if we didn’t have a sound machine. Staff was helpful. Location was great, near dining, grocery stores, Princess Diana Memorial Park and transportation."

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

8/10 Good
"This is a great place for the basics. The rooms are very basic and provide a safe, clean place to sleep and go back out and do the tourist thing. I had never stayed in a hotel like this before and it served our needs. They stored our bags for a price, if you needed more towels or toilet tissue they were helpful, but this is a very basic place. I did love that you could not hear the noise of Piccadilly Circus and the room was dark for sleep since there wasn't any windows. Overall it was a good stay."

St. David's Hotels

10/10 Excellent
"I had a fantastic stay at St. David's Hotels, Paddington. The hotel is a 3-miunte walk from Paddington Station which made it extremely convenient getting to/from Heathrow because both the Elizabeth Line, and the Heathrow Express operate from Paddington Station. Plus, the front desk staffer, Muzu, was extremely helpful about local recommendations, the history of the hotel, and always had a positive disposition. The hotel is a well-maintained, older property, situated in Norfolk Square. Consequently, there's a some stair climbing, and the occasional mysterious noise. But, my bed was very comfortable, and room was very clean. Although the room I booked shared a bathroom, during my 4- night stay, I never had to wait to take a shower or utilize the facilities. I'd return to enjoy this classic London hotel."

"The staff were very helpful and friendly and when I realised that there was no lift and it would be difficult for me to climb all the stairs to the top floor they relocated me to a floor with fewer stairs. The room was comfortable and quiet and the location is excellent"

Central Park Hotel

Central Park Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel is newly renovated with a lovely style to the bedrooms. The beds are not the comfiest but not all hotel beds are. The staff are really kind and welcoming. I would say the walls are super thin and you can hear everything outside of your room which woke me and my colleagues up in the early hours of the morning. There is a nespresso machine as well as bottles of water in the fridge. I would likely stay again as the pricing was affordable and close to transit links."

The Cumberland, London

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."
