Ibis budget London Heathrow Central

10/10 Excellent

"great food"

Mitre House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location situated in a beautiful section of Paddington. The room was comfortable and clean. The staff were very helpful and allowed us to check in early after a long overnight flight. My only recommendation would be that they include more breakfast options and serve it in a buffet or serve yourself style. we would definitely recommend this hotel and come back here again when back in the London area."

The Z Hotel Holborn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The room was very clean, and the staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating—especially with our small children. Breakfast is available for an extra charge, which was convenient. The location of the hotel is excellent, with everything you need nearby, including the train station. They even provide umbrellas, which is a lifesaver with how often it rains in London. We would highly recommend this hotel!"
