Top United Kingdom Hotel Reviews

Bluedaws Private Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is an exceptionally good location for a base while visiting London. Very close to various forms of transportation. Many attractions within walking distance. Excellent breakfast. Helpful staff. Amenities and rooms as described and pictured. Would definitely stay again."

President Hotel

8/10 Good

"An easy place to stay for someone older and interested in seeing the British Museum that is across Russel Square from the hotel. I enjoyed the variety of the buffet breakfast. Staff were helpful. My room with a double bed was small, tucked over what I can only describe as the industrial alley of the hotel. No traffic noise but white noise coming from what might be the air filtration system. No great view except the alley and noisy during the day as there were work men making repairs to the building in the area, alley, outside the windows which are old, single paned, and let in the noise. The windows can be opened. I like white noise. The room was adequate, clean, the service good, and hotel very well located."
