Top Dr. Johnsons' House Hotel Reviews

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel is incredible. The views of the Tower bridge breathtaking. The food, the drinks, everything’s walkable — I can’t say enough about it. But, the rooms were a bit outdated. I do know that they were in the middle of a remodel so I have a feeling some of the outdated things are being addressed. All in all, I would stay here again. Very nice."

The Z Hotel Holborn

8/10 Good

"Breakfast is pretty good. Location is very good"

Royal National Hotel

8/10 Good

"I stayed at The Royal National Hotel for one night on Wednesday 7 October. For the price I paid (£120 for the room, although breakfast was an additional £30 (what?!), bringing the total to £150), I can’t really complain. The room was a double overlooking the forecourt. Surprisingly, noise was minimal, although I can imagine it gets considerably noisier at weekends. The en-suite was perfectly adequate, too. My only gripes were the rather weak shower pressure and the fact that the water never quite reached a temperature I would have liked. What really let the stay down, however, was the breakfast offering. The whole operation could best be described as school dinners. Guests have to queue to be seated, with staff chaperoning people around the breakfast room. In all honesty, I’ve never experienced anything quite like it in a hotel. The room itself was noisy, and there was yet another queue for the breakfast buffet. I found the whole experience rather off-putting, so I decided not to bother with breakfast and instead stave off the hunger until lunchtime. Overall, I’d describe my stay as very Travelodge-esque. For the price, you can’t complain too much, but I would certainly have preferred the more relaxed ambience of a Premier Inn! Just don’t pay the extra THRITY QUID for breakfast and instead spend that money in a more relaxing cafe nearby."

Leonardo Royal London St Paul’s

10/10 Excellent

"Love the location. Minutes away from St. Paul and a short bus or subway ride to all tourist attractions of London. Very nice hotel with a nice restaurant and walking distance to many pubs and nice shopping areas"

Sea Containers London

10/10 Excellent

"Sea Containers is my favorite hotel in all of London. It never disappoints! Absolutely perfect!"

Club Quarters Hotel St Paul's, London

10/10 Excellent

"Really good swift check in service, extremely friendly and helpful staff, the room was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. Great location for visiting all the main London attractions and the shopping areas. Overall a very enjoyable stay and we wouldn’t hesitate staying again."

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

10/10 Excellent

"Affordable stay, simple and great location. Really impressed. Not loads of space but perfect for a couple of nights."

Apex Temple Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was an excellent hotel! Friendly, helpful, clean - would recommend staying here!"

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

8/10 Good

"Great shower! Beauty rooms were a bust. Overall, noisier--maybe they were herding elephants above us? But also some rumbles were surely the subway beneath-- than we had hoped, and dimmer--too dimly lit-- in common spaces. The room was sufficient, except only bring your closest confidants, the bathroom has ZERO privacy! The beds were comfortable. Price was right for us, if you don't mind the chaos of Picadilly Circus, you can spend your savings on £5 cans of Coke..."
