Top City Hotel Reviews

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room X staff was amaaaazing and we loved our stay ."

Royal National Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent value for money. All of the staff were very friendly, from check in, luggage storage to the guy who directed us to our room in the north side. Clean, safe."

President Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, nice twin room with a third bed for 2 adults and a young child. Fantastic breakfast. Very friendly staff, particularly the guy at the luggage room. One minor annoyance at check-in was the person requesting to see my passport because we are from Northern Ireland. I happen to have one with my but he didn't seem to be able to grasp that (whether you agree with it or not) Northern Ireland is part of the UK and you should treat those guests the same way you do guests from Scotland, England and Wales."

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

8/10 Good

"My first two nights I was in an older room. There wasn’t even a coffee pot that was a bit of a bummer. Lots of noise and construction going on all night long the rooms without air-conditioning. You have to open up the window so it’s very noisy. Cute little bar and café on site. I moved to another room for two more nights, and that was a much better room higher up with air-conditioning bigger and worth the extra cost. With all that being said, it’s all about location, location, location, and this one has it. There’s a Mark and Spencer‘s right across the street shopping pharmacy and all the food restaurants, pubs, music, plays and comedy clubs all a 10 minute walk."

DoubleTree by Hilton London Angel Kings Cross

10/10 Excellent

"Brilliant Staff - Incredibly Kind"
