Stayed one night for sightseeing and the theatre. Staff really polite and friendly, offered free water/sweets/biscuits when arrived. Even able to leave luggage before we checked in. Good location for Borough Market and tube links. Room compact but good on facilities, fridge, hairdryer even iron and board! Bathroom was small but looked brand new, shower was great. Good choice at breakfast. Few signs could be good, didn't know there were baked beans until saw someone had them and put hot milk on my son's cereal! All in all, great, quiet location would stay again if returning to London.

It has taken me a long time to write this review but it was a MUST. First time in London and we drive on the street of this hotel, hit a curb and get a flat! …

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the City London Hotel, and I cannot say enough about the outstanding experience I had. The hotel itself is beautifully designed and offers a welcoming atmosphere, but what truly made my stay memorable was the exceptional service provided by one remarkable staff member: Love.From the moment I arrived, Love greeted me with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm. Her attentiveness and dedication to ensuring guests feel valued is truly commendable. She went above and beyond to assist with my requests, providing helpful tips on local attractions and dining options. Love's passion for hospitality is evident, and her ability to make guests feel at home is a rare quality that sets this hotel apart.Thanks to Love’s incredible service, my stay was nothing short of perfect. I highly recommend the City London Hotel to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

We enjoyed our visit to London and our stay at City London Hotel. The hotel is in a very old building with thinner walls, however, we had one neighbor that was a bit louder. We just used ear plugs and had no issues. …

Delightful. I have stayed in so many London hotels in this price range and above and have never had such a lovely experience. Staff set the tone from the second you enter. Warm and welcoming, offering Jasmine tea and bickies. Free bottled water, treats all over the foyer. From front desk to the rooms it bright, homely, warm and clean. I'm pretty sure I will never bother looking for anywhere else. If you need to be close to Waterloo/Westminster and spend less, then do your self a favour and book City London hotel. Top notch.

Amazing!! Hotel was clean, staff was friendly, breakfast was great, and location is perfect. The hotel was very clean and the rooms had anything you might need. They were accommodating, allowing us to keep our bags there even after we had checked out so that we may explore easier during the day. The owner of the hotel was incredibly kind, offering us tea and snacks. Never seen such great hospitality!
