The Ritz London: Attention all backpackers.... Compare Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Tired of roughing it at some dumpy dirty hostel. Save up and splurge on a few nights at The Ritz in London.
    No sharing a bathroom down the hall or being woken up by the snoring of the total stranger tourist that is booked in the same room with you.
    Well worth the hundreds, if not, thousands dollars a night I would say.
    That's why they have credit cards...

    Unique Qualities: I am sitting on a couch of one of the luxury suites. Did I stay here when I was in London? Nope. I couldn't afford a stay in the broom closet.

    Four stars: Jrys Gt Russell Hotel
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This hotel is ideally located right in the middle of London.

    Unique Qualities: A huge lobby with plenty of seating, excellent breakfast, a restaurant, bar, conference room, this hotel seems to have it all.
    Next time I visit I want to stay here again--only this time permanently.

    Hyde Park Inn: You really don't need a picture of this place.
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • My first time in London I was alone and wanted to save money.
    I booked myself at this place and though it couldn't be so bad--it was within walking distance of Kennsington Palace.
    Certainly a place so near to the late Princess Diana's home had to be classy.
    Walking down Inverness Street I was excited at all the white-washed hotels that occupy this street which have a "Faulty Towers" look to them.
    Checked into this place and went to my single room which was--one bed...ONLY one bed. Actually it was a bunk bed that I was able to use to put my suitcase on.

    Unique Qualities: What can I say. Places like these at least inspire you to spend as little time possible at the hotel.
    The room's do not have bathrooms but I was lucky because mine was next door to a one.
    Being constantly woken up at night from the other guests going to the bathroom and hearing the pee hit the porceline of the toliette is something you just can't get The Ritz Darn!! Oh and the constant flushing, yes...fond memories.!

     Hi Martin, forget about the Ivory House. I live a short walk from htere, and Londoners wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. Tourist rap extraordinaire. Next time you're back, mail me and I'll tell you some proper places to go. fergy.
