"I looked for the best deal in town and wasn’t disappointed. Minutes from Paddington station but miles away from noise, cited in a leafy square. For a hostel, this was perfect. Unexpected extras included fridge, microwave, desk fans, kettle and no need to ask for more towels or loo paper. Crisp clean bedding, fresh feel. This is basic done with style and the staff were lovely. Would definitely book with them again. Thank you."

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

8/10 Good

"My single room did exactly what I needed it to — it gave me a clean safe place to stay when traveling by myself. So conveniently close to the British Museum and I came strait from Heathrow on the Elizabeth line. The only 2 minor drawbacks were that there was no room to open my suitcase except on my bed and that there was vacuum cleaner left out on the narrow hall the whole overnight stay I was there."

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"Property is located on the Thames and my room just happened to overlook the Tower Bridge. Waking to that everyday was sweet! Right outside the hotel are several restaurants and spots for drinks along the river. The location is close to the transit system and an easy walk to most attractions. While I didn’t interact with the staff other than checking in and out, they were very friendly. The room itself was spacious with a very comfortable bed. Bathroom was nice. I also had to add a day to my stay about six weeks in advance and had no problems at all. I recommend."
