Top City Hotel Reviews

Royal National Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you!"

Point A London Kings Cross - St Pancras

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic service what can I say"

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, and views. Staff was wonderful."

nhow London

8/10 Good

"Reasonable hotel A bit out of central London but liked visiting nearby Shoreditch which was quite a vibrant area Breakfast was £25 per person. A bit disappointing. £50 a couple is too much when you’re staying in the hotel which you’ve already had to pay for We had breakfast at McDonalds across the road which is a bit sad. Surely they could throw breakfast in for much less cost"

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"
