The 7 Best Hotels in London (Updated 2025)

"Housed in a Victorian building a few blocks from Chelsea Embankment along the Thames, this three-star hotel is the most affordable option in this high-end neighborhood; while the décor is a bit dated with floral patterns on wallpaper and carpet, everything is homey, clean, and comfortable. Rooms offer basic amenities like a flatscreen TV, electric kettle, and wardrobe or closet; bathrooms are somewhat dated (and some rooms have shared facilities) but the water pressure in the showers is decent. A continental breakfast is included (toasts, beans, eggs, granola), and overall it’s a no-frills property perfect for budget travelers." - Matthew Kepnes
