Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

10/10 Excellent

"Interesting concept. I liked this place"

Hux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at the Hux Hotel really made our stay here stand out. They were kind and very helpful in helping us plan our days. In addition, we absolutely loved our room with the balcony and view of the valley. Did I mention the awesome breakfast and well-appointed library for relaxing? Dinners were good too and it was nice not to have to go out. We were initially concerned that the focus on family guests might be a detriment but that was not the case at all. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. Well done, Hotel Hux!"

Mitre House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was neat and clean. The cleaning staff were phenomenal. The breakfast was splendid and the waitstaff were attentive and excellent. There was a small fire in the laundry room one evening. The staff took care of the situation immediately. Everyone was evacuated immediately and the firefighters were on hand within 3 minutes. Everyone was returned to their rooms safely with minimal disturbances. The professional treatment by the staff was reassuring and responsible. We would certainly stay here again!"

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."

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and great location"

Grand Royale Hyde Park

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was ideally situated for buses and shops. Very clean , staff very helpful and understanding of my mobility needs."

The Kensington Hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"Stunning hotel, great location, we were treated amazingly well, thank you"

Central Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Was able to get early check in which was a huge bonus! My room was clean, modern, and perfect for my needs as a single traveller. Fantastic location!"

Bluedaws Private Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this place went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful. I wanted to give my kids an old fashioned bed & breakfast experience, and this place didn’t disappoint. Paddington Station very close, lots of food choices nearby. We even discovered St. Mary’s Hospital there, where penicillin was discovered. (There was a small museum there about it too). Only downside was there was only one electrical outlet we could find in the room, and no mirror near it, so drying my hair was a bit tricky, but they were kind enough to let me borrow a hairdryer for our whole stay. The communal bathrooms definitely get busy in the mornings, but they have quite a few. Thank you :)"
