Staying at Novotel London Waterloo was an absolutely fantastic experience. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a smart layout that separated the bathroom and shower area—great for privacy and convenience. The location is unbeatable: just a short walk from the Thames River, with iconic views of Big Ben right across the water. Getting around the city is super easy—just steps away from Waterloo Station, making it perfect for exploring London on foot or by public transport. Breakfast was a highlight—plenty of options, fresh ingredients, and quick service with no long waits. Everything felt well-organized and welcoming. This hotel strikes a great balance between comfort, convenience, and value. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to any traveler visiting London.
Staying at Kennington B & B was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from the Northern Line (black line) station, and you can reach central London on foot in just 15 minutes if you prefer to walk. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything you’d need for a relaxing stay. The bed was cozy, the bathroom spotless, and the breakfast was hearty and delicious. Kimberly, the hostess, went above and beyond—warm, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. She made us feel right at home. This place has such a personal touch, and it’s clear she takes pride in her guest experience. I’ll definitely recommend this gem to friends and will be back myself on my next trip to London.
Staying at Aeria Apartments Hope House was an absolute highlight of my London trip. The apartment is fully self-check-in, which made everything super convenient—no waiting around for staff, just straight in. Inside, the space was thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed: a full kitchenette, washing machine, microwave, and even high-speed Wi-Fi. It felt like home from the moment we stepped in. The location is unbeatable—within a 10-minute walk to major attractions, and the neighborhood is safe, quiet, and well-connected. There's a small grocery store right downstairs, so grabbing snacks or essentials was effortless. Unfortunately, I only got to stay one night, but it was such a great experience that I wish I could’ve extended my stay. If you're visiting London and want comfort, convenience, and a real local vibe, this place is a must-book.
The 2-bedroom apartment near the US Embassy in London was a mixed experience. While the location is convenient and close to key attractions, the unit itself felt a bit worn out. The beds were comfortable but narrow for two adults, so sleeping space was tight. Furniture looked dated and not very clean—some pieces even had visible signs of use. Unfortunately, the front desk staff didn’t offer much guidance on how to use the electrical appliances or set up the Wi-Fi, which made things a little frustrating upon arrival. We also had to request fresh towels because the ones provided were visibly dirty. Overall, it’s not a bad option if you're looking for a budget-friendly stay with easy access to central London, but don’t expect high-end comfort or spotless conditions. For travelers prioritizing cleanliness and modern amenities, this may fall short.
