Staying at H10 London Waterloo was an absolute delight. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome—especially Violetta and Luis, who went above and beyond to help us navigate public transportation and local tips. Their knowledge of the city was incredibly helpful and made our trip so much smoother. The breakfast buffet was a highlight: diverse, fresh, and well-stocked with plenty of options. Staff were attentive and kept everything tidy throughout the meal, which really added to the comfort. Our room was spotless, cozy, and perfectly set up for relaxation. The housekeeping team clearly takes pride in their work. With such a central location and outstanding service, this hotel delivers a top-tier experience. I’d happily recommend it to anyone visiting London—and I’ll definitely be back.
This hotel deserves a big thumbs up! The location is incredibly convenient—my family and I drove in, and there’s ample parking nearby, so no stress at all. There are plenty of supermarkets and shops within walking distance, and it’s just a short stroll to major landmarks like London Eye, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey. What made this stay truly special was being able to cook our own meals. We booked a spacious accessible room with a kitchenette, and it was perfect for our trip. With my kids around, we prepared three home-cooked dinners over three days—on one evening, when my child was rushing to finish a presentation, I simply cooked a quick steak in the room. It was simple, delicious, and so relaxing. If I ever come back to London with friends, this will be my first choice again. A fantastic balance of comfort, convenience, and value.
Staying at Hyatt Regency London Albert Embankment was a fantastic experience overall. The location is unbeatable—just a 10-minute ride to the visa center, and everything else in central London is easily accessible by taxi or public transit. The hotel itself is modern, well-maintained, and offers great amenities throughout. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with thoughtful touches, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only minor downside is that the bathroom is a bit compact, but considering how expensive space is in London, it’s completely understandable. All in all, this is a top-tier choice for travelers looking for convenience, comfort, and quality—highly recommend!
This place exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, everything felt thoughtfully designed—modern, artistic, and incredibly comfortable. The apartment was spacious, impeccably clean, and had all the essentials I needed for a relaxing stay. Located just steps from the subway, I could easily explore central London and nearby galleries without hassle. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything. What stood out most was how well-balanced the vibe was—urban yet peaceful, stylish yet welcoming. I’ve stayed at many hotels before, but this one truly stands out. I already miss it and can’t wait to come back. If you’re visiting London, don’t hesitate—this is an absolute gem.
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.
