Upper Town Holidays from AU$2,423

This was a lovely boutique hotel and perfect for what I needed for a one-night stay in London. I booked it mainly for convenience, as it was close to the train station and made continuing my journey very easy. The room was stylish, modern, and comfortable, with a feel similar to a Moxy hotel or a CB2/West Elm-style boutique property. The bathroom was small, but modern, functional, and had great water pressure. The bed was extremely comfortable, the air conditioning worked very well, and the room felt thoughtfully designed. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. I arrived during a World Cup game, so the hotel and bar area were very lively, but the staff still greeted me warmly, brought me a bottle of water, and personally showed me to my room. That immediately made me feel taken care of, and honestly, I would have happily stayed longer. The only thing to note is the location. The hotel sits on the edge of an area that may feel a little rough depending on which direction you walk. If you leave the hotel and go right, you’ll find a cute part of London with bars, restaurants, and a Tesco nearby. If you go left, the neighborhood feels less inviting, so solo travelers may want to be mindful of that. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel. It was stylish, comfortable, convenient, well-run, and had genuinely kind staff. For a short London stay near the station, it was a great choice.

The hotel wifi is terrible and intermittent. The bathrooms are horrific. No full length mirror in the room, no outlets in the bathroom so you have to use the dryers in a dark corner of the room. The lighting in the bathroom is also AWFUL so we left the house never knowing what we looked like each day. The food in the restaurant is completely unremarkable. Even though WiFi extenders are widely available, they’ll never get it for you. The cast to TV will not work since you can’t stay on the wifi. Do better.

Ok the room was spacious being one of the larger rooms and clean. Bed and bedding great. Location great. One downside was I could not get a late checkout for 1 or 2 hours even if I paid which was a little downer. Apart from that all good.

The breakfast was amazing!

Stayed here for 4 days while touring London. The hotel is so close to Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben, and also walking distance to two stations of the Underground. The staff is very kind and accommodating, and the included breakfast has so many options and is excellent. There is a cafe/bar off the lobby too. Definitely recommend!
