Learn more about London

Forget the double-decker bus tours – the real London reveals itself when ducking into centuries-old pubs where Shakespeare might have scribbled sonnets over ale. The British Museum houses treasures from every civilisation, all available without spending a penny. Witness the ancient ceremony of the keys at the Tower of London, then compare crown jewels to the sparkling skyline from the London Eye's glass pods. Theater-lovers can score half-price West End tickets at Leicester Square's TKTS booth. Trafalgar Square's pigeons have been banished, but the people-watching remains superb. For a perfect afternoon, grab picnic supplies at Borough Market before sprawling on the grass in Hyde Park, watching locals pretend the fleeting sunshine is perfectly normal.

"Best value for a large chain in the Piccadilly area. Have stayed here multiple times and it’s solid. Rooms are on the smaller side but that is not unique to this property. The one thing that isn’t great is the communal iron vs having one in your room."

Bluedaws Private Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I've been here two times now and every time it has been very good. convenient location only a few blocks from Paddington station and the main stretch to Hyde park. The rooms are very clean and tidy but the best thing about the rooms and I can't state this enough is the good air ventilation, no warm stuffy rooms, we even got a balcony the first round. Breakfast is probably most people's favourite, they have a clean dining area which was good for talking to other people, plus when you order the staff bring food to you not even 3 minutes later. How good is that! The staff are some the kindest you'll ever meet, if you have the chance have a nice chat with them. Now for the cons these are mostly nitpicking. the amenities weren't the best having no tv, hair-dryer and kettle set is unfortunate but I think if you're in your room watching tv are you really having a holiday? Also I don't really count the kettle as if you ask for one they are nice enough to provide one. I think for this price and everything that is provided. breakfast, Nice clean room and this excellent location this is a steal."
