Top London Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3

8/10 Good

"Nice sized room."

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

8/10 Good

"The room was comfortable and clean with great views both to front and rear of hotel. The location is ideal for exploring London as it is close to the Underground at Tower Hill and to the Thames water taxi at the Millennium Pier. Short walk across Tower Bridge to Southwark Cathedral and Borough market . Overall good value for money. Close to some excellent eateries at St Katherine’s Docks. Also short walk to Spitalfields and the vibrant east end of London. The concierge was very helpful and stored my bag for several days while I took a side trip out of London. My only issue was that the front desk could not reserve additional nights for me and I had to do it online which seemed a bit odd. "

Sofitel London Heathrow

2/10 Terrible

"There were numerous maintenance issues in the room - broken faucetS (plural), shower door did not close, towel hook was missing, fridge did not work, issues with the TV. Bathroom was DIRTY. Toilet had not been cleaned. There was mold in the shower. We booked for 3 people (and were charged for 3 people) but we were only provided with TWO (2) towels, 2 glasses, 2 mugs, etc… The hotel was understaffed. Took 20 minutes to reach the reception! ALL of this should have been dealt with PRIOR to check-in."

The Drey - Kensington, Earl's Court

8/10 Good

"The digital key was annoying, and digital check in/check out didn't work. The hotel itself was excellent for the price Clean and modern room, good location, very quiet. Room was cramped but this was expected and really all I needed. I even got upgraded; my room had a window when I booked a windowless room."
