Top rated hotels in London

Ibis London Barking
3.9/5108 Reviews
The front desk service is warm and standard, and the environment is clean and hygienic. It is about 7 minutes' walk from the nearest subway station. Be careful when the hotel entrance is on a small road, otherwise it is easy to miss
Ibis London Earls Court
3.9/5118 Reviews
Visited for business reasons - the hotel inside is absolutely immaculate, very comfortable and excellent rooms. Breakfast was delicious and a good spread. The location isn't excellent and from the outside it doesn't look that impressive but overall I can't fault it. Would definitely stay again!
Ibis London Docklands Canary Wharf
3.8/5107 Reviews
The room can accommodate three people. There is a sofa that can be turned into a bed. The bathroom is very spacious and clean. It is necessary to note that the UK hotel basically has no toothpaste and toothbrush and the slippers need to carry the hotel. The hotel has a buffet breakfast £7.5. An ibis is a choice that I will go to in many countries. The hotel chain Accor Group's blessing quality is very guaranteed and the price is moderate for students to accept
Ibis London City - Shoreditch
4.4/548 Reviews
Great hotel next close to Aldgate East tube. If you are Accor member you can check in early if they the room is available otherwise it is 10 pound. Rooms are decent size especially the triple room. Shower was wet room style in the triple room whilst the twin room had an enclosed shower. There was some noise which was due to some road construction traffic on the first night but didn’t notice it on the next night on the weekend. Fully stocked bar with plenty of seating for a late night drink. Service at reception was excellent. I had booked breakfast but because I wanted to check out early at 4am in order to join queens lying in state queue the receptionist offered to provide a takeout continental breakfast which duly came with a hot drink too the next morning. That was so good of them to do that. Only downside to hotel were the homeless people who congregated outside in front of the Tesco express. The later the day went the more drunk and sometimes aggressive they got. Not the hotels fault but a bit unnerving for a solo traveller or families with children.
Ibis London Greenwich
4.3/526 Reviews
We had a concert to go to at the o2 on a Sunday night. We didn’t want to try and train back home so decided to stay at the Ibis hotel. We have never visited Greenwich before so a good opportunity while we were here. Hotel….. Front of house were friendly, helpful and welcoming Room was clean and very spacious. No faults with hotel or room at all. Location…. Great location in the heart of Greenwich. Greenwich park was literally around the corner Greenwich market 1 min walk away. Other sight seeing places all within walking distance. Walking distance to the o2, very pretty walk along the Thames Path. Took 30 mins. Will certainly stay at the ibis again .
Ibis London Blackfriars
4.4/543 Reviews
On arrival at the hotel we were greeted at reception and check in was smooth. We then entered our hotel room and it all went downhill. One of the pillows was filthy and we had to ask for it to be changed. After using the toilet we found that it did not flush, we told reception and we were informed this was a common problem. We then went out for the evening to see a show and on arriving back we found that there weren't any curtains in the room just a strip of material on a runner to pull across the window. The material only covered about 2/3 of the window which didn't provide much privacy from the building opposite and let too much light in. Myself and my partner both showered that evening and were almost scolded by the water. We were unable to turn the temperature down low enough. We then discovered that when cleaning our teeth there wasn't any cold water in the tap. Just a drip. We complained again. After a late night we were glad to sleep and not have to get up early. How wrong we were! At 8:15 the following morning we were both still asleep when there was a knock at the door. I woke my boyfriend and told him to go to the door. On opening it there was a woman stood there saying ”check out!” We said not yet and she just kept repeating ”Check out.” We asked what time check out was and she replied that she didn't speck English. We shut the door and checked on our booking which said check out was midday! We were incredibly cross that we had been disturbed and complained yet again when we went down to reception. As an apology we were offered a free breakfast. It was the worst breakfast, Very few cooked items available, most warming dishes were empty, no bread for toast and no pastries. No wonder they gave it away free! All in all a disastrous stay in an awful hotel. We will not be returning.

If you're flying, London has several major airports:

London Heathrow Airport (LHR): As London's largest airport and one of the busiest in the world, Heathrow is located about 23 kilometres west of the city centre. It handles a vast number of international flights.

London Gatwick Airport (LGW): Situated about 45 kilometres south of central London, Gatwick is the second-largest airport, serving both international and domestic flights.

London Stansted Airport (STN): Located approximately 64 kilometres northeast of London, Stansted primarily serves European and Mediterranean destinations.

Once you're in the city, getting around is a breeze. The Tube is one of the top ways to travel—it's quick, budget-friendly, and takes you just about anywhere you need to go. Taxis and buses are also easy to find, though you might hit a bit of traffic now and then.

The Tube: London's Underground, or "The Tube," is one of the fastest ways to get around. Fares depend on the zones you travel through, with a single journey in central London (Zone 1) costing around £2.80 if you use an Oyster card or contactless payment. It's a quick and iconic way to navigate the city, but it can get crowded during rush hours.

Buses: London's iconic red buses are a great way to get around the city. A single fare is £1.75, and you can hop on and off as many buses as you like within an hour for the same price. Buses offer a more scenic route compared to the Tube, but they can be slower due to traffic.

Taxis: Black cabs are a classic London experience. The starting fare is about £3.80, and they can be hailed on the street or found at taxi ranks. Alternatively, ride-sharing apps like Uber are widely used and can be more budget-friendly.

Cycling: Santander Cycles, also known as "Boris Bikes," are available for hire across the city. It's a fun and active way to explore, especially in good weather.

River Services: Travelling by boat on the Thames offers a unique perspective of the city. It's a bit more leisurely but provides stunning views of landmarks.

Remember to check the Transport for London (TfL) website or app for real-time updates and to plan your journey efficiently.
