Forum – Hotel Accommodation

Travelodge Covent Garden(3) Craig – Hi Mrs Harvey. They say ’Our luggage storage service is available between 9am and 5pm, subject to availability’

Shangri-La The Shard(6) J&g – We enjoyed our stay 👍 the rooms are very luxurious

Hyde & Seek(2) Craig – Hi Shelley. I’ve never stayed there myself, but the largest hotel nearby is the 5-star Royal Lancaster (411 rooms compared to the Hyde & Seek’s 309) – royallancaster.com/ – it’s about 2 mins walk from this one

The Royal Horseguards(5) Haley&justin – We stayed for two nights in a river view room to celebrate our anniversary which was amazing. The hotel has a fantastic location and we hardly needed to travel on the London Underground (just once to visit St. Paul’s Cathedral). It is so close to the restaurants and theatres but is also in a quiet area. I have already told my hubby that we have to come back next year!

Club Quarters St. Paul’s(2) Lucia – We enjoyed our 2 night stay in this clean and comfortable hotel. Great location close to many attractions and so close to the cathedral, we hardly needed to get transport but there are many buses outside, and a train station nearby. The breakfast started our day beautifully

Strand Palace(6) Craig – Hi Pam. i would definitely get the piccadilly line and walk from Covent Garden. Its only a five minute walk, and you can walk through the centre of the piazza which will be nice. embankment is just as close, but changing trains would be a hassle. Although you would get a quick look at trafalgar square and nelsons column as you walk past charing cross

The Ritz(6) Craig – Hi Maggie. Don’t worry, you’ll enjoy it. I stayed there for a couple of nights on my own and I tried the Rivoli Bar, breakfast in the morning, meal in the evening… all by myself. All the staff are super polite and treat everyone like they’re the most important person there. You will be spoiled… and everyone dresses up for breakfast

Premier Inn Leicester Square(3) Craig – Thanks Vicky. I definitely recommend the hotel for the price so you should like it. It’s in the perfect spot

Thistle Holborn(1) S Mulholland – We certainly recommend this hotel based on our experience. The inside is lovely and the staff were wonderful and couldn’t have been more friendly to us. Thank you

Holiday Inn Regent’s Park(4) Craig – Hi Mac. Check-in time is 3 PM, and check-out time is 12 noon

Citadines South Kensington(4) Craig – Hi MarlonP. It’s about a five-minute walk to Gloucester Road station, and fifteen minutes to South Kensington station

Ibis London City Shoreditch(2) Craig – Hi Lena. No, the hotel doesn’t have a car park

Days Inn Hyde Park(4) Craig – Hi Amy. No, you’re definitely going to have to get a bus or tube. It’s about a fifteen minute walk just to Marble Arch. It would probably take you the best part of an hour to walk to Trafalgar Square

Comfort Inn Westminster(2) Craig – Hi Omar. Pimlico is about a five-minute walk away. Victoria is about ten minutes

Radisson Blu Marble Arch(1) Becky – We had a wonderful stay here during our trip to London. Very convenient location, close to the transport links, but nicely situated in a back street so it wasn’t too noisy for us. The staff were wonderful and very friendly. Would definitely recommend

Mercure Paddington(2) Pbury – This is pretty much the definition of a no-fuss hotel. The room has everything you need for an overnight stay.

The Tower Hotel(3) Preed – We stayed here for two nights and had a wonderful stay. The location was amazing by the London landmarks Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. I recommend to everyone to forgo the buses and catch the easy-to-use Thames Clipper boats which stop just by the hotel. We had such a lovely time travelling down the river every day

Montcalm Piccadilly Townhouse(4) Craig – Hi Trevor. It’s true that the room was small but they pack so much stuff into it that I wasn’t really that fussed about the size, and it was very nicely decorated as well. I was only there for two nights but I’d be happy staying there for a week. And you can’t really get a better location than halfway up Shaftesbury Avenue – it’s right in the heart of everything

Andaz Liverpool Street(4) Craig – Hi PBrock. I wouldn’t exactly say it’s central, but I still think it’s in a good location. The only attractions you can really walk to are the Tower of London and Tower Bridge (15-20 mins walk) and St. Pauls Cathedral (20 mins), and the City area around Bank. The hotel is literally next-door to Liverpool Street station so you can easily get the tube all over town, and there’s a bus station there as well so there are plenty of buses. A bus to Trafalgar Square will take about 20-25 mins. One to Big Ben will take about 25 mins – the location is probably the one thing about this hotel that I actually liked!

Threadneedles(3) Andrew – We stayed for a couple of nights and absolutely loved it. It’s a beautiful hotel with lovely staff who can’t do enough for you, always with a smile on their face. We don’t usually eat in hotels because we like to get out and see the city we’re visiting, but in this case we made an exception. The location is fantastic as well

The Trafalgar St. James(4) Craig – Hi Brian. They’ve got a deal with the underground Q Park which is practically next-door. It’s quite pricey though, at the time of writing it’s 39 quid a day (ten quid cheaper than the public would pay) – q-park.co.uk/en-gb/cities/london/trafalgar/

The Waldorf Hilton(4) Craig – Hi Niamh. The location is pretty much perfect – you can walk to Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus and Covent Garden. Big Ben and St. Paul’s are a bit further, but still easily walkable. You can walk straight over Waterloo Bridge to places like the London Eye and Tate Modern as well.
