London Hotels > 4 Stars London Hotels > up to £40

Overall a lovely stay

Advantages: Beautiful viiews, great location, lovely food
Disadvantages: At full price it would seem a lot -look for deals

The hotel has a good website, with pictures and lots of details, which I found useful when choosing it. I was able to make a booking over a last minute site, which meant the price for a double room was £130. This was fine, but had I paid the full rate I wouldn't have thought it worth it. The hotel is about 10 minutes walk from High Street Ken station. The hotel has an impressive facade and a beautiful lobby area. We found staff to be attentive and ...
...Hyde Park, which is right next to the hotel. Perfect for a stroll. Equally the hotel is also close to a bust shopping area, including high street names such as Monsoon, Marks and Spencers etc. Harrods is also walking distance away, as are several of the museums. So the hotel is a great base. The room itself was lovely and all the touches of luxury that you hope for at this cost. We had lunch in the restaurant downstairs. There was an excellent wine ...

Review of Royal Garden, London

What a delight!

Advantages: Location - near to Oxford Circus, Picadilly
Disadvantages: none

This hotel was one of the best I have stayed in in London. We booked a standard and got upgraded to a suite. The suite was amazing. Big king size bed, 40 inch plasma tv with sky channels, a seperate desk area, sofa and coffe table, a minibar area, full marble bathroom and walk in closet. Everything you needed was in the room from champagne glasses to an umbrella. I unfortunately cant comment on the standard rooms as we didnt get to see one. They ...
...These have access to their own lounge area where you can enjoy complementary breakfast and afternoon tea. Staff could not do enough for us. Food fantastic - although expensive but thats what you expect from a 5* in London. We used room service for a midnight snack when we came home and the food was good standard and nicely prepared. We had a continental breakfast included in our rate but decided to go the full hog and offer room service breakfast. ...

Review of Langham Hotel, London

Good hotel, Not so good apartments.

Advantages: Location, location, location
Disadvantages: Out of date, overpriced.

I stayed in a one bedroom bedroom apartment here. It was in a great location for tourists, short-stayers, theatre goers and shoppers. The staff were friendly, helpful and had perfect english. They were on hand almost 24/7 and the service certainly matched the advertised 4 stars. The apartment itself would have been 4 stars 5-10 years ago, that was very clear but it is in definite need of refurbishment. Each apartment was decorated differently - ...
...of booking as we were not offered the option to. Our apartment was dated, garish and overly feminine. It was aiming for luxury but was more mutton dressed as lamb with damaged gold wallpaper with a 'regal' stripe and an interesting carpet and bedding colour combo! The lounge was much of the same but well equipped and the kitchen was in its own more modern timezone. If you have children I think there are more appropriate areas of London to stay in ...

Review of Athenaeum Hotel & Apartments, London

Home Base for Traveling with a Grandchild

Advantages: Comfortable, clean, pleasant ambience, elbow room
Disadvantages: Lacks many traditional hotel facilities and services, such as room service and baggage storage

...trip planner, I selected the New Linden, a small hotel straddling Bayswater and Notting Hill, not far north of Kensington Gardens. The location was handy for buses and the tube, easily facilitating our forays around and about London. In the end, that choice came down to space and price. I wanted a space that would provide both our grandson and us with an opportunity for privacy, and I wanted to do so without paying the usual London prices for a ...
...of our quad. The New Linden is listed on various hotel sites at 2, 3, or 4 stars. Take your pick. I venture to approximate 3 stars based on its lack of urban hotel facilities. In the final analysis, however, it’s the experience that counts. Based on our experience, we would happily return to this charming hotel. It combines convenience with value for money, and we left with happy memories. Who could ask for more? ...

Review of New Linden Hotel, London

Ibis Euston - good deals to be had

Advantages: Good location, not too noisy, good value if on offer
Disadvantages: Slow check in

...for a double room at Ibis Euston on a Saturday in late November. The standard rate advertised outside the hotel is £129 so this represents a good saving. Although we were traveling into and out of Kings Cross we were happy enough to stay at Euston as the hotel is right beside Euston mainline and tube stations and only a ten minute walk from Kings Cross/St. Pancras. There’s a handy little short cut from the main station concourse onto Melton Street ...
...to carry. Ibis Euston compares favourably with other branches of the chain I have stayed in. The rooms are basic but comfortable and I was impressed with the standard of cleanliness. It’s a useful location for several mainline train stations and only a twenty minute walk from the west end if you prefer not to use the bus or underground. There’s very little in the way of additional facilities but chances are if you’re a tourist in London you aren’t ...
