Staying at London Marriott Maida Vale was an absolute delight. The value for money is outstanding—my executive room included both breakfast and afternoon tea, which made the experience even better. What really stood out was the afternoon tea service from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, offering unlimited drinks along with a generous spread of delicious treats. I honestly felt full by the end, like I’d already had dinner! It’s rare to get such a thoughtful inclusion, especially in a city where meals can add up quickly. The location is super convenient—just a short subway ride into central London—and the hotel itself strikes the perfect balance between comfort and quiet elegance. Friendly staff, clean rooms, and that extra touch of hospitality made all the difference. Definitely a top pick for my next visit.

This was our first stay at The Byron, and it absolutely exceeded expectations. We arrived early and were happy to leave our bags with the front desk—no hassle at all. After a late-night show, we returned to find our luggage already in the room, which was incredibly thoughtful. The room itself was spotless, with crisp, neatly pressed linens that made for a truly relaxing night’s sleep. The bed was comfortable, and having tea and coffee readily available was a nice touch. Breakfast offered a generous variety of options—fresh, well-prepared, and satisfying. From the warm welcome to the attention to detail, every aspect felt polished. This is a hotel that truly cares about guest comfort. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting London.

Staying on the 4th floor was a bit of a hassle since the elevator only went up to the 3rd floor—had to walk up a flight. The room came with just one towel and no hand towels at all, which was disappointing. The showerhead was broken, and adjusting the water temperature was frustratingly inconsistent. The TV was in the kitchen instead of the bedroom, which made relaxing after dinner a bit awkward. There’s also a small, uncomfortable sofa facing the TV in the kitchen—hardly ideal for watching anything for long. That said, the location is excellent: close to Bayswater, Kensington Gardens, and bus stops. The neighborhood itself feels safe, quiet, and well-connected. Despite the minor drawbacks, it's a pleasant area and the overall value makes this a solid choice for travelers looking for convenience and charm.

I’ll definitely be booking again—this place exceeded all my expectations. The apartment was incredibly comfortable, well-appointed, and offered everything I needed for a stress-free stay. Located in a quiet yet convenient neighborhood, it’s just a short walk from the subway, making it super easy to get into the city center. The area felt safe and welcoming, with plenty of local restaurants and shops nearby. Every detail was thoughtfully considered—from the clean, modern design to the excellent amenities. It’s the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and value. Highly recommend this property for both business and leisure travelers.

Staying at Henley House Hotel was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from major attractions and well-connected by public transit. Every staff member went above and beyond with their warmth and hospitality, especially Roberta, who truly stood out with her attention to detail and genuine kindness. I loved the little touches like having cookies, flavored water, or iced tea always available at reception—such a thoughtful welcome. The rooms are compact but cozy and well-maintained, making them ideal for a comfortable stay. I even signed up for the loyalty program during my visit, which tells you how much I enjoyed it. My only note is that if you're sensitive to noise, you might notice some sound from neighboring rooms—though I suspect it could be due to the building’s layout rather than disruptive guests. Overall, this place is highly recommended and definitely a top pick for any future trip to London.

The location was fantastic—walking distance to Kensington High Street and just a short subway ride from central London. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with excellent air conditioning that made the stay comfortable, especially during warmer days. Check-in was a bit stressful due to an unexpected delay, but the team handled it professionally and got us settled without further issues. The kitchen was functional but could use a few more essentials—only one non-stick frying pan was provided, and while all utensils were metal (which we appreciated), having a second cooking option or more basic supplies would have been helpful. Overall, this was a truly enjoyable stay. Great value for money and a perfect base for exploring London.

The nearest Tube station is on the Piccadilly Line, making travel around London super easy. With such a great location, excellent service, and top-notch value, this hotel is a real winner.
