Top 5-Star Hotels in London

The perfect hotel to enjoy the view of London as it is an attraction itself. You can enjoy the sunset and sunrise as you are chilling on bed with your beloved. The service is really amazing and efficient. The breakfast is really good and full of diverse foods. Sky pool and spa were closed but we have enjoyed it before and it was amazing. The only negative point to be fair is the gym which is not amazingly equipped in term of lifting equipment. I definitely recommend this hotel for every couple that want to have an unforgettable stay in London.

I am very satisfied with this accommodation. It has spacious windows with scenic views and excellent lighting. The kitchen is well-equipped, and there's a washer-dryer available. The room is modern and clean. The Tower of London and ferry terminal are right next door, and there's a bus stop nearby for visiting places like museums and other distant locations. Extremely pleased!

Just finished a four night stay at the Standard Hotel in London. This is my first trip back to London post Covid and wanted to find the latest and greatest and the Standard has raised the bar in the hotel and hot spot scene. I put the concierge team to the test as I always do and Istvan and his team did not disappoint. I sent a very detailed request of things I wanted to and places I wanted to go before I arrived. Upon arrival I was happy to accept a room upgrade from George at the front desk and he was quite helpful showing me around and we struck up a conversation about football. Upon entering my room I saw it had a massive terrace with beautiful teak furniture over looking the city center. The room was stylish and chic and cutting edge and even a bit “quirky” as the brand is known for. The restaurant on the first floor Isla, is as cool as you can imagine. The lobby flows into the restaurant with outdoor seating that is heated with a gas fireplace which is a nice touch. The service and food were spot on and the lobby feels like a home as it is filled with books, dj booth and the cool London locals as well as the jet set crowd. I went to see Istvan at the concierge desk who was put to the task of getting tickets for a few soccer/football matches for me. I was floored by the front row tickets he gave me. He sorted out trains, boats, cable cars and restaurants. I can’t imagine better service could be had. Saving the best for last, Decimo on the 10th floor is the place to be and people watch. The mix of music and food was the cool vibe that everyone tries to imitate but never does. The hotel is directly across the street from St. Pancras station and Kings Cross. International, or national rail lines as well as the tube/subway. There is not a better location in London as it literally is the heart beat of the city. Nice to see a hotel living up to the hype. Actually, they surpass it.

My stay at the St Olave Suite at Lalit, London earlier this month was every bit comfortable with always eager to serve staff. In case you have a weakness towards Indian cuisine then their hot breakfast option along with a pot of cardamom infused Lalit tea is something you will look forward to. Baluchi was a wonderful experience with cooked to perfection my favourite Indian dishes. Chicken tikka and tandoored prawns were lip smacking and the Lucknowi Biriyani was absolutely divine. If you are looking at a side to Indian breads then try dal Baluchi. The property carries the mark of old times in a beautiful way and a well stocked bar is a perfect to enjoy a drink or two in the Teachers room before calling it a night. And if that wasn't enough the luxury boutique hotel boasts of an impressive location just a few minutes walk from the tower bridge .

We stayed at the Montcalm east this weekend - a group of 4 ladies away for a weekend to see a show and shopping. We couldn’t have wished for any more from the hotel. We chose the Montcalm east as we wanted to stay in Shoreditch rather than Mayfair where we have stayed previously and we were so happy with our choice. Shoreditch itself was vibrant, energetic and full of so many interesting places to eat and things to see. It also seemed quieter than areas we have previously stayed and this was welcomed. From the moment we arrived at the hotel the reception staff greeted us in a professional and friendly manner and the concierge helped us with taxis throughout our stay and one young man on the door went above and beyond to help us which we really appreciated. We had an adjoining room on the 14th floor and all of us were extremely impressed with the modern style of the rooms, the decor was sleek and stylish, the bathrooms bright and spacious with a great big backlight mirror which was perfect for us when getting ready in the evenings. The beds were comfy and the whole hotel itself was immaculately clean. We also used the spa one morning and thought the Dyson hairdryers were a great touch, the showers agin spacious and quality amenities provided. We had a relaxing swim and used the day beds and it was a great way to relax in the morning. The breakfast was perfect, a good choice of cold options plus cooked breakfast, eggs any way you want them, fresh juices and coffee. We even had waffles one morning and they were lovely. We thought the location of the hotel was perfect for us - only a short taxi or Uber ride to London Bridge for our return journey and within walking distance of great little funds like box park - we thoroughly enjoyed it there. Overall we couldn’t fault anything about the hotel, a 5 star modem and trendy hotel in a great location - we will be looking to come back at some point in the future to explore more of what the area has to offer I’m sure.

Convenient location right on Kensington High Street. Surrounded by good shops and restaurants. Bus stop outside and tube station a good five minute walk . The rooms are large with plenty of space for Families , the seating are does make a difference , as do the picture windows . We overlooked the High Street , which we loved but some have views of Hyde Park-Kensington Palace is next door ! Staff were all very attentive and professional. It was a late Birthday treat and I received cake and wine to the room , which made the stay even more memorable. Breakfast was of a very high standard , with enough choice for all guests . Enjoyed the Piano bar and the entertainment on offer . Would definitely come back to the Royal Garden, it's just so well placed .

Lovely overnight getaway. Fantastic room - Executive Lounge Room 614 - with a great view of Crossrail. Only downside on that was that you heard the DLR starting at about 7am on the Sunday morning. The receptionist, Sandra, was really friendly and helpful and staffing the bar in the evening were likewise very good. The executive lounge on the 7th floor had a good selection of soft drinks, but we weren’t around to try the hot appetisers or free wine & beer in the evening as we already had dinner plans in the West End. Transportation wise, it’s a 2 min walk to the DLR, less then 5 to the new Elizabeth Line and only a few more to the Jubilee Line - perfectly positioned! Lots of restaurants and bars to choose from as well. Breakfast was fantastic, particularly loved the donut wall! Quite a novelty! The cooked breakfast was delicious, with omelettes made to order - more food than you could handle! Will definitely look to stay again in the future.

Excellent! We were assigned to the 7th floor, the executive room was upgraded to a suite, and an extra small bed was added for free. Compared with other hotels in London (such as Marriott Apartments and Indigo), the service response is very fast, and you can basically get what you want or the service you want within 20 minutes. For a particularly highlight moment, the hotel prepares a little Waldorfian passport for the children who stay in the hotel. After completing the adventure, go to the hotel front desk and put the corresponding sticker on it, and you will get the mysterious grand prize (a small teddy bear). We started the challenge on the last day after leaving the store, and unfortunately there were no more teddy bears in stock. However, the hotel tried its best (front desk, room service, concierge) to help us find a teddy doll. A handsome black man at the front desk called his colleague and said: ”The child is leaving the UK. He passed all the challenges. Can't get it?” He will be very disappointed with the teddy bear, please help the poor child.” Finally, when leaving the hotel, the hotel gave the child a teddy bear and many blessings. The executive lounge is also fantastic. A very good stay experience, I will book again next time!

On arrival to check in, the male staff on reception were certainly not welcoming. First time I have ever been asked for proof of ID. I initially showed them a printout of the confirmation of the booking, but that was not good enough, thank goodness i had my driving license with me. To gain access to our room we had to walk across a courtyard to a side door which led to a lift and a maze of stairs. We were thankfully escorted to our room, otherwise, I do not think we would have found it. The room itself was very small and dark for a five-star hotel, not even a proper window. There were many buttons and switches in the room, but nobody had the courtesy to inform us of what they were all for and there were no instructions to hand in the room to help you work things out. In addition, the room safe did not work and as there were no do not disturb/room ready to be cleaned signs to hang on the door, a cleaner came to the room to service and clean it whilst my wife was in the bath. We subsequently found out that two of the mystery buttons in the room were for ”do not disturb, or room ready to be cleaned” but like the room safe, they did not work. I do firmly believe a five-star hotel should ensure everything is in working order before guests arrive. I have said below that this hotel does not have a bar or restaurant, well it does have both attached to it, but they do not belong to the hotel. You can have an all-inclusive breakfast rate when booking, but as my wife is not a breakfast person, we did not, and I paid for my breakfasts separately each morning. This was fine, but watch out, they add on a service charge to the prices on the breakfast menu and one morning I was overcharged. They had the cheek to charge me separately for my tea, which was already included in the menu price. Having said that, the serving breakfast waitresses were very friendly and efficient, as was the waitress who served and looked after us for our family Sunday Lunch. Yes, the hotel itself is kept very clean, as was our room, but I certainly would not rate it five stars.

This hotel was overall a good experience. Considering the price tag some things were not as good as expected though: - The location. Although it is very central located Leicester Square does have a share of homeless people walking around and heavy ambiance in the late night. Nevertheless considering connections is as perfect as it can be in central London. - The rooms are a little small but nicely appointed. - The bathroom has a weird design with a small bathtub. Really liked the toto toilet. - Too much light in the room in the night. The curtains don't close completely and are a lot of mirrors reflecting the light troughout the room. - The hotel is big with several common areas and at reception there is no clear explanation... for instance I didn't understand if the courtyard was open or not. Nevertheless the gym, pool and spa were very straightforward and well appointed. - I think it is not acceptable the in room open ear cleaners (cotonete) for hygienic reasons. - Lights over the bed too strong. - Room cleaning could be better. The highlights of the stay: - The central location besides the inherent problems. - Lively but yet organized and not loud entrance lobby and bar. - The complimentary soft drinks and snacks at the secondary lobby. - Miller Harris bath products overall very good except the body lotion which the smell was harsh and totally off. - Gym and pool. - Overall very quiet room and halls. So would I return there? Honestly only if I really need to stay at Leicester Square. For me it was good but not amazing stay, with an overall feeling of pretensious mood and too expensive for what it was. If you want a really luxurious expericence I would recommend to search elsewhere but at a discount this would be a nice stay. For the amount of hotels in central London this one just didn't excited me enough.. I would prefer to return to Pan Pacific for instance.
