If you've ever wondered what it might be like to sleep on a set of Star Trek in an incredibly small, utilitarian room with a capsule shower, look no further. But when that tiny room is cheap, and has lots of hot water (no problems with ours, although that might depend on the room's location in terms of which floor), and is near the Underground, and the bed actually afforded us our first great night's sleep in many days, it felt worth it. Plus, if you're a runner, Hyde Park is not too far, and it's lovely. Just be ready to pay extra for everything. The wi-fi is not free (you can pay £1 for 20 minutes on their computers, or £10 for twenty-four hours on your laptop), the remote is not free, extra towels beyond the number of occupants is not free, early or late check-in is not free, and so on. Yet when you're visiting London, you hopefully don't spend much time in your room anyway (although it's worth it to spring for a room with a window, since they are so small and no reminder of the outside world might feel, well, a bit prison-like). Our small room had enough space to walk in, move about three feet forward, and collapse onto the bed. Literally. Don't expect to store anything elsewhere than on the floor or under the bed. The bathroom? As my man said, you could take a s**t, a shower, and brush your teeth all at the same time. Don't expect romance. But do expect to save enough on your lodging that you can spring for several tapas courses at Dehesa in Soho, which is a whole 'nother story....

Even then it's questionable to find a cheaper hostel. As stated by other reviewers this place is extreme no-frills...to the point of annoyance. If you want anything remotely extra they will nickel and dime you to death. Including extra towels. As for the room, it was clean but as stated it was small. How small? Imagine a walkin closet, and then halve that space. There was room for exactly the full sized bed. The bathroom was almost like a pod, and when you sat on the toilet you also were sitting in the shower zone. The great part was the location...you're a 5 minute walk from the tube station. Earl's Court is a cool little area to boot so if you have a chance wander around the area a bit. If you're not in London for more than a couple nights you can live with this. Im a firm believer when travelling for pleasure on a budget you're not going to be in the hotel room that much at all, so you don't need to have all the trimmings. Just a clean room with a shower and a bed. Easy Hotel fits that bill.

I stayed in the City Hotel in September for 3 nights. It was my first time in London and I knew…read morethat the hotels are very expensive. We didn't want to spend a fortune on the hotel, that's why we decided to stay in the City Hotel. It isn't that close to Downtown, but you can take the tube at Aldgate East which takes you to the city centre. The hotel is clean and the staff mostly friendly. However, we didn't like the bathroom, it was to small! With 3 ladies and everybody has to get dressed this wasn't so much fun. Furthermore, the hotel is located directly on a street, which is noisy also in the night. I had to sleep with my earplugs because even if the window was closed, the room was still noisy! That was very unpleasant! Nevertheless, I would recommend the hotel because it wasn't that expensive and you can be Downtown in a short time. Don't expect luxury, after all it's a 3-star hotel. If you don't stay that much in your hotel room and just come here to sleep, you will like this hotel!

This is located just about a minute or two from the tube station, and only about 20 minutes from Heathrow. That's the good. It's nearly an hour from Central London, which may or may not work for you. That's what you need to decide. If you're only in town for one night, you'll go into the city center and do whatever you have to do, then retire here for the night and be out the next day. That worked for my family just fine. The staff is very friendly and even let us check in earlier than our 12 noon early check in time. Subtracted a star for the WiFi that you need to pay for.

After reading some of the horror stories from online hotel review sites, I was nervous staying…read morehere. I found myself scrambling for a last minute hotel room in London and this was the most reasonable rate I could find. I still paid close to $350 U.S. for a triple room and all I can say is "welcome to London!" It's an expensive city no doubt, and I think the root of all the awful reviews is that people are basically getting a Motel 6 at Ritz Carlton prices. The Comfort Inn is in a safe and good location. I wouldn't have felt afraid to stay here alone if I had been traveling by myself or with a group of women. It's about a 5 minute walk to the back entrance of Victoria Station, one of the main railway stations in town (you can catch the Gatwick Express train directly to the airport or hop on the Tube / London Underground to explore the city or get to Heathrow). There's a decent pub down on the corner too. We were traveling in a group of 3 adults so we booked the triple room. Of course the room was cramped but we still had enough space to move about without constantly bumping into each other. The room had a double and one twin bed. The beds were reasonably comfortable and the bedding smelled and felt clean. The common areas suggest the guest rooms are much nicer than they are. I liked the homey lobby and the cute British-themed signage in the hallways. Our room was clean enough but didn't exactly feel spotless. The bathroom was clean but had some signs of mold and was in a state of slight disrepair (duct tape on a pipe, dirty grout, rust everywhere). I wouldn't go so far as to call the bathroom nasty, but it was certainly bordering on that description. It reminded me of the showers at summer camp when I was a kid. Let me make this clear: this is a budget hotel, no doubt about that. Don't go expecting U.S. Comfort Inn standards or a property that lives up to its expensive price tag and you'll be fine. It's no frills but it'll get the job done in a pinch. Let me stress that I stayed for only ONE NIGHT. I may have felt differently about this property if I had booked it for the duration of my trip. But for an overnight stay, it's just fine.

I was able to walk to the subway easily and catch trains and rideshares. It was awesome! So the location is great.

Unfortunately, our experience at Phoenix Hotel fell far short of our expectations. Upon arrival at the hotel after a long flight , we were surprised by the scorching heat in London, with temperatures soaring into the 90s. Our disappointment began when we checked in and were informed that our room was not ready, despite our exhaustion from the journey. While waiting in the lobby, we found the lack of air conditioning uncomfortable, and the restricted airflow due to the windows being fixed in place made the situation worse. We found out the whole facility do not have AC and even the small fan provided was insufficient to alleviate the heat. Furthermore, the cramped hallways, minimal amenities, and low water pressure in the shower added to our discomfort. The noise from the windows rattling in the wind made it challenging to get a restful night's sleep. The issues with ice availability and inconsistent information from your staff regarding this matter only added to our frustration. Then only reason got 2 stars because of the night crew in the lobby. Thank you for the ice you provided us that night although the lady during breakfast said there's no ice because the machine been broken although night shift gave us some 4 hours ago. Regrettably, due to the unpleasant conditions and unsatisfactory service experienced during our first night, we made the decision to cut our stay short and relocate to another hotel. While the affordability of Phoenix Hotel is commendable and great location and close to everything , the overall quality of the facilities and services leaves much to be desired.

Recently stayed at the Travelodge London Central City Road. Here are my notes:…read more * Room Size: Some of the rooms are quite small, but asking for a room at the front of the building is a good hack--those rooms tend to be larger due to the shape of the building. * Breakfast Deal: If you book through certain websites, you'll get complimentary breakfast, which is definitely worth it. The breakfast spread was surprisingly good. * Old but updated: The hotel is definitely on the older side and could use a remodel. While the rooms themselves are updated and comfortable, the hallways have that kind of worn, dated vibe. * IMPORTANT: There's no air-conditioning! I would not stay here in the warmer months. * Location: It's close to the tube and the Elizabeth line, making it super convenient to get around. Plus, you can easily walk to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. Overall, your experience at Travelodge London Central City Road may vary, but it's a decent budget-friendly option.

DO NOT STAY HERE. To…read moresay the least, this hotel was disingenuous in their advertising. I booked a single room. It turns out, that room is NOT intended for tall people. I'm 6'2" (~1.9m), and I could barely stand up straight in the room. I even hit my head on the doorframe when checking out. There's no air con - they advertise that part - but they don't tell you that one of their windows doesn't even open because there's no latch, so you can't air it out. Forgot to take a picture of this.... The bathroom smelled like sewage was backing up. There was a storage door in the room broken off the hinges, the toilet didn't even fit in the bathroom to the point you have to sit sideways. The shower did not have hot water upon my arrival. I could think of more issues, but hopefully that paints enough of a picture that you will stay away!! Upon checkout, nobody asked how my stay was. I couldn't wait to get out of there so I dropped off my keys and left. I complained to the third party site I booked through who tried to get me a refund, and called the hotel on my behalf, but the hotel refused since I didn't bring the issue to their attention during my stay. MAYBE HAVE BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE NEXT TIME AND ASK YOUR GUESTS IF EVERYTHING WAS OK WHEN THEY CHECK OUT!!! That is, if you truly care. I'm guessing you don't.... Dear reader, BOOK ELSEWHERE!! Pay the extra. You'll be glad you did...or, you'll regret that you didn't heed my warning.
