Hotels near Piccadilly in London

When booking this hotel you known it’s not going to be the Ritz so this review is fair for the type of hotel. The location is super central yet the hotel is a zen of calm. It’s a little strange having no windows anywhere but the design works to minimise the effect. Rooms are what you expect, incredibly simple but clean and decent bathroom with toiletries and fresh towels. Decent wifi means you don’t miss a TV and this is not a hotel for lounging, it’s a bed for the night which is comfy enough if a little low to the ground. The gym is an additional fee which the website doesn’t make super clear - £10 a day. Despite the positives, the bedding was bad! Blood stained sheets and bed bugs! I was biten all over during the night and awoke to dozens of red blotches all over my body. It really puts me off returning despite everything else. It is good value for money but you don’t expect bed bugs!

Decent hotel extended for a day to explore more of London. The extension gave me a breakfast included. The breakfast was well below average, limited options and the coffee was cheap. If its included in the fee, have a try. If you want to add on a breakfast I would suggest thinking twice and trying the shops around the hotel for more variation and quality.

I have stayed at this hotel twice in London. The location is very convenient. It is close to Russell Square. Across the square is the British Museum. It is very convenient to see exhibitions. Next to UCL, there are many students and full of vitality. The surrounding transportation is convenient. All kinds of bus stations are convenient to go anywhere. It takes 10 minutes to walk to St. Pancras and King's Cross stations. The hotel has a large passenger flow. There are many students from all over the world who come to study, so the service can keep up with it, which is very good. I think it would be hard to find a better value hotel in the area, and I recommended it to a friend visiting London last year, and the feedback was great. Continue to live afterwards.

I stayed for 5 nights. I fell ill during my stay, but the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, which I really appreciated. All the staff were lovely and made my stay very enjoyable. Although the basement room without a window felt a bit stuffy, the clean interior and complimentary drink service made up for it, and I was satisfied overall. I'd definitely like to stay here again. It's also conveniently located near the station and famous tourist attractions, which is a big plus. The surrounding area also feels safer compared to other parts of London.

The hotel's location near UCL is fantastic; you can easily walk to the British Museum, the National Gallery, King's Cross Station, Regent's Park, and more. There's a Tesco and Boots downstairs, which is really convenient for shopping. Public transport, including the subway and double-decker buses, is also readily accessible nearby. You need a key card to access the floors, which adds to the security, but the rooms are a bit on the small side, and the shower doesn't have a handheld nozzle. The facilities aren't particularly new either.

Hotel in a superb location. Daily clean towels are provided. their hotel is designed for minimal maintenance thus not much usable space. they don’t provide table nor chairs. no shelves in the toilet too. one of the lifts are down for all 5 days during my stay. breakfast is the same everyday.

This is a good hotel if you're looking for a more economical stay with a good breakfast. We had a great check in experience where we had arrived early and had a short wait for an early check in. The staff were very good here helping us find a table each morning for breakfast, made an ice pack for my wife's sore foot and they have a fridge to store food items behind the front desk. The location was pretty good and it was a short walk to popular attractions like Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, and Burough Market. There were a few restaurants nearby and we enjoyed grabbing quick bites at many of the nearby shops including Tesco, Sainsbury's and Amazon Fresh. There are lots of hotels in the area as well. The hotel is located about a 7 minute walk from Blackfriars station which offers Thameslink Service to Gatwick Airport and connects easily to the Elizabeth Line to go to Heathrow. It is within a 15 minute walk to Waterloo and Southwark stations and there are busses that go through the area too so it makes the city very accessible. It is worth checking out the train schedule because some trains go every 20-30 minutes instead of the frequency north of the Thames. The room was nicely appointed with a comfy bed, four pillows, a small work space, a small wardrobe, tea station, large television, and some shelving to store our things. We were transiting through London and had brought three large suitcases with us and there was plenty of space for those. The hotel is located in a quieter area and the air conditioning is very strong so we enjoyed each night's sleep. There were signs posted that they were undergoing some maintenance work during our stay in August 2025 so it was very noisy after 9:30 am in the hotel. This is a temporary issue. We felt that the housekeeping could improve because we were provided with dirty hand towels a couple of times and they did not vacuum the floor at the entrance of the room. The wifi was good and if you've set up an IHG account before you can quickly and easily log in but we found that we had to reconnect each night. The bathroom was pretty good with a nice new and clean shower. The shower was very good each night with an adjustable head, eco setting, good temperature control and tight seals to keep the water in. They have unique shampoo and body wash that are kale and parsley scented. There isn't much room to hang wet towels in the bathroom but they do have hooks in the bedroom that we used. The breakfast was good and we were happy it was included in our stay. They had all the fixings for an English breakfast with particularly good sausages and rashes of bacon. They also had yoghurt, fruit, cheese and some cereal for a lighter breakfast. The coffee machine was good for made to order options and there was a good selection of tea. You can make yourself a go bag as well and they will let you take food too. If you have dietary restrictions you can let the front desk know when you check in and they will accommodate. We had a good stay here and it fit our itinerary. Picking a hotel in London can be tricky but the price, location, and room were right for us.

Pros: The reception staff are great, especially Sree and Sunday, and solved problems effectively and efficiently. Location is great especially for users of Elizabeth Line to and from Heathrow. Various choices of room size. Hotel is new and clean. Cons: No electric kettle in room. You need to go down to ground floor to get hot water from the coffee machine. Water is free but not the coffee. I booked a First Class Room, but the system gave me one on the first floor with no windows. I put up with it for the first 2 days as I was busy. Later had to change room. First class room is roomy, but other rooms are on the small side.

Overall was good stay for 4 nights. Simple and good varieties of breakfast ( incl for vegetarian). Close to Waterloo UG Station and Eye of London. Helpful front desk and restaurant staff. Booked the Hop Off Londoin Bus Golden Tour bus from the front desk and it is walking distance to the Eye of London and National Theatre.

Enjoyed an excellent stay. Room was clean and had everything I needed (except slippers) — chocolate gift and eco-friendly water bottles. Buffet breakfast was varied, tasty, and well stocked. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Great location — walking distance to “theatreland,” Covent Garden (closest Tube station), Westminster (Big Ben & Houses of Parliament), and even the British Museum (about 25 minutes) — surrounded by bars and restaurants.
