Top hotels in Hampstead
The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
Clean room. Would have liked more healthy breakfast. Missing vegetables and granola for example. But omelette was good. It was a renovation going on when arriving and between 8-16 on weekdays. This was not informed in beforehand! Nice and helpful staff.

The room was clean and comfortable however the bathroom was very small and there were no suitable mirrors or lights to do hair and make up.

President Hotel
Nice hotel with a prime location, in the charming Bloomsbury neighborhood. The rooms and lobby are very clean, just a bit outdated

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
The room and hotel were ideal for our needs, few bits of cosmetic maintenance needed but nothing major. Either need fitted sheets of the housekeepers need to be trained to make sure the sheets are on secure, I had to remake both beds to get the sheets to stay on.

Radisson Blu Hotel, London South Kensington
This hotel is in a very busy, commercial area, which isn't horrible but can be very noisy at times. The Underground is right around the corner which is great. There are a ton of fast food restaurants and a couple very nice restaurants. As far as the hotel itself.... The staff is extremely helpful!! ...
