"The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the metro station, about a 3-minute walk; it's also not far from the British Museum, around an 8-10 minute walk. There are plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby, which is very convenient. The room size is quite spacious for London standards. The soundproofing could be better, and the hotel rooms don't have air conditioning, which was the only thing that was really difficult to accept – it was very uncomfortable without AC in 30-degree weather. Check-in isn't until after 2 PM, which feels a bit inflexible, but they do offer free luggage storage."
"Traveling in the UK, I found this hotel near the British Museum. It's about a 10-minute walk from the museum, and there are plenty of convenience stores and supermarkets nearby. There's also a metro station with a direct line to the airport. The hotel was reasonably clean, and the facilities and service were good. The front desk offers 24-hour luggage storage."
"The hotel is part of the Royal Hotel, and before check-in, the doorman even asked which hotel I had booked. The hotel's policy states an 11 AM check-out, but around 10:30 AM, the cleaning staff burst into the room, saying they needed to clean it. I had seen this mentioned in other reviews but didn't expect it to happen to me. The hotel offers free luggage storage. It's also close to King's Cross Station, so you can walk there using navigation if you don't have much luggage. (I didn't take any photos of the hotel)"
"The tv didn’t work in the room, it was a small box room but it’s fine for one person. I asked if a late checkout was possible but the request didn’t even seem to be considered. The WiFi name in the book is wrong also and the public WiFi is slow and cuts out. Then at 10:05 someone from the hotel staff walked into my room while I was in bed which wasn’t not very good."
"I was looking for a quiet hotel near the British Museum. The hotel certainly feels old, and of course, the rooms aren't spacious, as is typical for London hotels. However, if you're traveling solo, it's perfectly fine. My room had a view of greenery from the window, and the birdsong in the mornings was particularly pleasant. That said, I could easily hear the TV and coughing from the adjacent room, so the level of comfort would vary greatly depending on your neighbors. Breakfast was tasty, but it was the same menu for all five days. In hindsight, I should have only opted for two days, given the abundance of cafes nearby. The bed was comfortable. However, the shower felt like a drizzle and would likely be considered very weak by Japanese standards. The towels also felt quite old. On the positive side, the hairdryer was powerful and convenient. There was also a fan in the room, which would be helpful given the recent sweltering summer heat. All the staff were incredibly kind and wonderful. There's a bus stop close to the hotel, and Russell Square Station is only about a 5-minute walk away. Although it faces the road, it feels safe and quiet."
"The moment we entered the hotel we were welcomed elimediately, mentioning our bookingsnummer we got our room and went up. We placed our stuff and went out to have some dinner. Etc etc... the next morning we checked out could left our luggage behind the counter and had breakfast. I can say breakfast was definetly awesome staff was friendly and helped with allergies.
10/10 experience"
"The room was on a lower floor, which I guess means ground floor. The air conditioning was good, but there was a faint smell of chlorine, probably from a nearby pool. The bathroom was excellent, and having a kitchen was a big plus. The bed, however, felt quite old-fashioned.
Check-in was after 5 pm, and you had to follow instructions from an email to get into the room, as there were no staff after that time. The male cleaner I encountered was alright, but they didn't reply to any emails. Also, there were no slippers provided.
The location was fantastic, with Tesco, Waitrose, and many restaurants nearby, and it's right by the British Museum."
"The location is great, very convenient for transportation, and there are supermarkets nearby that meet basic needs. It's quiet and safe at night.
The room is cleaned once every seven days. You'll need to go to the front desk yourself to replace towels and other items, including trash bags.
Basic toiletries like slippers are not provided, so you'll need to bring your own. The bathroom is very small.
One thing to note: I emphasized wanting a lower floor when booking because I had a lot of luggage, but I was still assigned to the third floor. The stairs are narrow, and there were empty rooms on the ground and first floors."
"Excellent location. Staff are really friendly and helpful in both reception and the bar. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!"
"My check-in experience at this hotel was absolutely terrible! First off, regarding early check-in: even though there were clearly available rooms, they wouldn't let me check in early unless I paid an extra £15 for the key. If I didn't opt for early check-in, they even charged for luggage storage! So, I paid the fee to check in early, and the moment I stepped into the room, I was instantly disgusted. The room was so small I could barely open the door. The bed was tiny, there was no desk, and the two small beds practically took up all the space, leaving no room to move around! When I lay down, my face was almost touching the bathroom door! The soundproofing was awful too; people walking in the hallway sounded like they were right in my room, and any movement upstairs made the floor creak. The cleanliness was okay, and breakfast was just so-so. The front desk did print a Westminster Abbey ticket for me without charge, which was a small positive. As for location, even though it's in the city center, you still need to take public transport to get to attractions. The price wasn't cheap either. I definitely won't be staying here again!"

GGuest UserTop location! Good hotel with nice rooms, great facilities, and very comfortable beds. I've stayed here many times before and will definitely come back again.
EEhime OmokhodionI recently stayed at Novotel London Canary Wharf and it was one of the most enjoyable hotel experiences I’ve had in London. From the moment I checked in, the atmosphere felt modern, welcoming, and effortlessly comfortable.
The highlight of the stay was definitely the view from my room. Waking up to the Canary Wharf skyline and watching the city lights come alive at night was incredible. The floor-to-ceiling windows made the entire room feel bright and spacious, and the panoramic cityscape gave the stay a real luxury feel.
Another standout experience was visiting Bōkan, the hotel’s restaurant and rooftop bar. The views from up there are absolutely breathtaking , you get a stunning panoramic perspective of the whole of London, from Canary Wharf to landmarks across the city skyline. Whether during sunset or later in the evening, the atmosphere is unforgettable. The combination of great food, drinks, and those sweeping views made it one of the best parts of the trip.
The hotel amenities were also excellent. The pool was clean and relaxing, perfect after a long day exploring or working in the city. The gym was well-equipped with everything needed for a proper workout, and the sauna added an extra touch of relaxation that really elevated the overall experience.
Overall, Novotel London Canary Wharf delivers the perfect mix of comfort, modern luxury, amazing facilities, and spectacular London views. I’d happily stay there again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Canary Wharf.
WWeibulingenbadunThe room was clean and tidy, and housekeeping came every day. The transportation was also very convenient. The double room was quite spacious, and the facilities were relatively new. My only complaint is that the breakfast was very basic and repetitive; I ate the same things for three days straight and got tired of it.
GGuest UserThe hotel boasts a strategic location, perfect for classic shopping trips and sightseeing. The rooms are larger than average for London, and the services are good. The building itself is quite old but well-maintained and partially modernized. The tea room and Indian restaurant are excellent. The main drawback, typical for hotels of this kind, is the bathroom – while efficient and clean, it's definitely dated and offers limited amenities.
GGuest UserI booked the room for 1 night as I was attending a concert at the Royal Albert Hall. I was very happy with the cost of £73 for the night for a Superior Single room. The staff were friendly & welcoming. My room was on the 4th floor. The lift was very noisy which was a bit of a worry but it worked ok. The room was small with nowhere for me to put my small suitcase. When I first opened my room door I was met with a very noisy portable air con unit. Thankfully the heatwave earlier in the week had eased so I turned off the air con unit. The furnishings & bedding in the room were a little bit tired for a 4* hotel but ok. There were complimentary toiletries, bathroom robe & tea, coffee & a small packet of biscuits. I’d asked for a quiet room if possible & that’s what I got. I had a shower the next morning but it took a while to heat up. Also a non-adjustable monsoon shower head which could be an issue for some. Also part of the shower drain edge was broken.
I didn’t pay for a breakfast upon booking as wanted to keep my options open. Both the Trip website & the signs in the hotel stated the cost of the buffet breakfast was £14 but the staff said it was £15. I decided on the breakfast in the end. There was plenty of choice even if the bacon & sausages were a bit dried out but that’s to be expected with a hot buffet breakfast. Caffeine free coffee was also available.
I was happy with my short stay at The Rockwell & would definitely book again.
MM.AshalThe reception team were friendly at check in, and I was given a beautiful tin of truffles and some drinks vouchers (maybe as a diamond member?). This was really a special touch and appreciated.
However the room itself wasn’t great. I’ve stayed in quite a few London hotels so know you don’t get lots of space and for 1 night you don’t need much, but this room was so small it was a struggle to move about.
The air conditioning was on but it was weak. Thankfully the window opened slightly but it remained warm in the room.
Bathroom was dated, quite small and felt cheap.
Minor point but the pillows and duvet didn’t feel like the usual Hilton ones, they seemed thicker…
Overall, it was clean, relatively quiet and had great service which is all that’s really needed, but it felt more of a budget hotel with Hilton price tag.
I do think they are doing everything they can to make stays as good as possible, since they can’t really do anything about the room sizes.
LLiyaniuThe room was incredibly small! I couldn't believe how tiny 10 square meters felt. I was genuinely shocked when I opened the door. It was even difficult to open my luggage. The table was pathetically small, and there wasn't even a chair. Storage space was extremely limited. The bathroom was even tinier, comparable to an airplane lavatory. Overall, my stay was very uncomfortable. The only positives were the comfortable bed and the breakfast, which at least offered some variety. After a difficult two nights, I decisively moved to the Hilton across the street, and the experience was significantly better. What baffles me is that this place was even more expensive than the Hilton. On the whole, dining and getting around were very convenient, with various UCL colleges in the vicinity. There's a Nero Cafe right next door, so if you don't want the hotel breakfast, you can grab something there. Heading south down the street, you'll find quite a few Chinese restaurants, which is very handy.
GGuest UserI had a wonderful stay at Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington. The hotel was very clean, and the room was spacious, especially by London standards, making it a comfortable place to relax after a day of sightseeing.
The location is excellent, with High Street Kensington Tube Station just a short walk away, making it easy to explore London and reach major attractions. There are also plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafes nearby.
Overall, a great hotel with comfortable accommodations, a convenient location, and good value for money. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting London.
AAnonymous UserIt was great stay in Berjaya Eden! I personally live the vibdes. It was walking distance to Bayswater station and Queensway St.
It also easy for you to find the halal foods. Its everywhere and easy to access!
This is my second time to stayed here. The staff was really good and polite.
Eventhough the room that i choose was a little bit “not so spacious” but its ok as long as it walking distance from one to another.
Will repeat?? Of course YES!!
GGuest UserFrom the outside, the hotel looks good, but as soon as you're in the hallway, you realize it's a super old hotel. The rooms were scrawled on, extremely small, and had deteriorated over the years – but they were clean, as they were tidied daily. Additionally, there were hardly any power outlets, but the Wi-Fi reception was very good. The staff was very friendly, and the location was super central, making it very easy to get from A to B (the train station is 5 minutes away).
