"I looked for the best deal in town and wasn’t disappointed. Minutes from Paddington station but miles away from noise, cited in a leafy square. For a hostel, this was perfect. Unexpected extras included fridge, microwave, desk fans, kettle and no need to ask for more towels or loo paper. Crisp clean bedding, fresh feel. This is basic done with style and the staff were lovely. Would definitely book with them again. Thank you."

Top South London Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La The Shard, London

10/10 Excellent

"A long weekday stay when catching up with my older sun. Great location for sightsee, the infinity pool on the 52nf floor has amazing views of London. Good breakfast with lots of options. Highly recommended"

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

10/10 Excellent

"Stunning hotel and located well for business and pleasure. Big Ben is on full view from the front of the hotel and is only a brisk walk across Westminster bridge. Great food options and the English breakfast was delicious. My only gripe was the huge face of a woman on the wardrobe doors in my room. You certainly get a shock when you turn over during the night and see her peeping at you in the dark!!!"

Park Plaza London Waterloo

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very clean and updated. The only problem we encountered was with the air conditioning as it didn’t seem to work the second night. Also there was a lot of noise coming from the room next to us because they were doing maintenance while my sister and I were trying to rest after coming in from a long flight. However, when I alerted the front desk staff of this, they immediately ceased working and the noise stopped. It was a weekday afternoon so I understood that they would be working during that time but I appreciated the front desk staff asking them to stop so we could rest peacefully. Everything else was good and we would stay here again in the future when returning to London. The location is also convenient and close to the train station."
