Our Top Ten London Hotel Picks
Great Deals on London Hotels near the Underground and Attractions
Accommodations in London vary greatly in price and the prices charged do not always reflect the quality. At the lowest end of the scale you will find plenty of hostels and small rooming houses with minimal services and amenities, while at the high end you'll find some of the most luxurious 5-star hotels anywhere. If you are travelling from America you may want to lower your room size expectations, as European properties tend to have smaller rooms than what is common in North America.
We have carefully chosen our top ten hotel picks with an eye to value, focusing on hotels that are not too far from the centre of London and that are close to an underground (tube) station. All of our recommended hotels have received plenty of good to excellent overall reviews from verified guests.
If you can not find a hotel you like in our top ten list, just visit our HotelFinder which will searches all the popular hotel booking sites and hotel websites and quickly finds you the lowest price available for the hotel of your choice. An expandable map on each hotel page will help you find a hotel near an underground station or your favourite attractions. You can also use the Google street view feature to check out the hotel's surroundings. You will find numerous pictures of the hotel's interior on each page as well. Enjoy!
