10 Aarden Hotel, London

Advantages: Outstanding Views, best hotel in London i've stayed at
Disadvantages: couldn't fault it

...I stayed at this Hotel last year, and have been to London 4 times since. Ive stayed in over 10 hotels in the capital and can honestly say this has been my favourite hotel. The views over Hyde Park were gorgeous and gave a lovely view of the london eye, and the flight path. The rooms were a good size and layed out well. It wasn't unclean at all. The staff were extremely helpful and went out their way to help you. The breakfast was gorgeous and provided a great choice. The hotel was close to the local tube station, and close to notting hill and shops. It was central to oxford street and all that London has to offer, without been slap bang in the middle. Only downfall i suppose ( the only one) was that it was upstairs to a petrol station yet it wasnt a problem for me. I would recommend this hotel 100% and enjoyed my stay.... Read review

Advantages: Reasonably priced!
Disadvantages: Rooms basic.

...I stayed at the Mercure in December 2005. It was a bit of last minute booking - booked it on the Friday and then travelled on the Monday. Due to this it was the literally the only place in central London available for the week and prior to this I had never even heard of the hotel! Location - It is literally just behind the Tate Modern and Millenium Bridge. It is about 10mins walk from the hotel to the nearest tube at London Bridge so it is relatively easy to get about. Rooms - Rooms are basic. Similar to staying in an Ibis or Travellodge. They do have everything you need though - TV, tea and coffee facilities etc. And they seemed clean. Facilities - The hotel has a small gym. In has a restaurant and bar but I never ate or drink so can't comment on this. Staff all seemed relatively friendly. Price - It was between £60 - £70...

Advantages: Modern, clean, quiet - good location.
Disadvantages: Car parking not free, pay up front.

...This is a new hotel, pleasantly decorated in a modern style, situated adjacent to Greenwich main line station and Docklands Light Railway station. It is within a few minutes walk from Greenwich centre with easy access to shops and restaurants. It has its own underground car park. The rooms are clean and surprisingly quiet - I was not aware of the trains running by and was able to sleep undisturbed. Breakfast is of the help-yourself kind so you can eat as much as you want to get your day under way. There is also plenty of choice including many healthy options as well as the tradition fried breakfast. The staff are keen and helpful, but occasionally a little over-zealous in their pursuit of formality. Things to be aware of: most London hotels charge residents for parking and this hotel is no exception, charging £10 per night (which... Read review
