"The location was fantastic - it was on a very quiet side street only a couple minutes walk from restaurants, the tube and a supermarket. The staff were friendly, and always willing and able to help. The room was basic, but had working air conditioning and a very convenient kitchen area, with an oven, microwave, and refrigerator, which all came in handy. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but everything else was great."

Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"It was convenient for getting to the places we wanted to visit during our stay."

The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"My only issue was my view was of a wall but everything else was wonderful. Very comfortable bed. You are not the only hotel that does this but not sure why the 1/2 glass shower bit---leads to a wet floor after washing hair. And that is quite a large step for mankind to get in/out of the shower."

Radisson Blu Hotel, London South Kensington

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"Totally functional room in central London and for the price you can’t really argue. Decent shower and comfortable bed and really quiet room. Towels were basic, i’d bring my own if i was staying there again. Only issue is the terrible signage around the hotel, dark cut out metal and difficult to read."

Ruby Zoe Hotel London by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Appreciated the consideration on placement which made for a more comfortable stay. Spacious rooms, clean, non cluttered. Lack of fridge only negative if you have food you wanted to store overnight. Large downstairs working/ sitting area but can be occupied by non residents/ youth/suits ehonuse it as an all day laptop venue."
