Travelodge London Acton ★★★

📍 MONARCH HOUSE, Ealing, London

"I’ve stayed in Travelodge’s other branches in different cities before so I kind of have a reasonable expectation. It’s not far away from North Acton station, along the way, you can find some restaurants, cafe and supermarkets. There is a big shopping mall (Westfield) - just 3 stops away on Central line. The room is quite spacious and clean - nothing to complain about as a budget hotel. One thing you have to know before you book this hotel - they only provide free Wi-Fi for 30 mins per day."

The Peninsula London Hotels in London

The Peninsula London

"The Peninsula Hotel has always felt like a second home to us, no matter where in the world we are. It was wonderful to return again this time. On our previous stay, the front desk manager provided exceptional service that left a lasting impression on us. During this visit, we also utilized the concierge's mailing service. They were incredibly professional and patient, resolving our issues promptly. In total, four concierge staff assisted us during check-in and check-out. My daughter was so grateful that she gave each of them a £10 tip—they truly deserved it. The hotel's Chinese restaurant was excellent as well. The staff there were incredibly warm and clearly took pride in their work, creating a delightful atmosphere. I should also mention that the rooms were spotlessly clean. I'd like to share that we've been avid fans of The Peninsula Hotel's afternoon tea since the hotel opened. We've enjoyed countless afternoon teas and breakfasts here over the years. However, I must note that during peak afternoon tea hours, when the restaurant is bustling with guests, the service can be slow. We often find ourselves waiting quite a while for assistance. During breakfast, there have been some issues, too. We've experienced order mix-ups, and on one occasion, the food wasn't fresh. During my most recent breakfast, the fruit bowl I ordered contained moldy blueberries and rotten strawberries. A blonde, fair-skinned staff member noticed the problem but didn't offer an apology. Instead, she simply said they wouldn't charge me for the fruit bowl. I just smiled and didn't press the matter further, but I believe that outstanding service should always be a top priority for The Peninsula. Compared to stays at The Emory and Maybourne Hotel, whose staff showed remarkable warmth and attentiveness, I think there’s room for improvement. Nevertheless, I sincerely hope that The Peninsula continues to thrive and elevate its service to new heights. 首先我想Peninsula Hotel,在全世界都是我们的另外一个家 ,这次再回来觉得很棒,上一次入住的时候酒店的前厅经理负责人为我们提供了非常好的服务,这让我们记忆深刻。我们这次还使用了礼宾部的邮寄服务,他们非常专业非常有耐心,第一时间帮我们解决了问题。在我们入住以及退房时候一共有4位礼宾部酒店同事帮助了我们,我的女儿感到很感激分别给了他们每位10英镑的小费,他们值得收到。酒店中餐厅也没非常好,工作人员非常热情,他们为自己在那里工作感到荣耀,这是非常不错的工作氛围.(酒店中餐厅同事Mr J 很用心查看了我女儿以前入住记录喜好,非常细心,在我们当天用餐没有点甜品的情况下,在我们离开餐厅后,让厨师准备了一份我女儿喜欢的水果送到房间,很用心)值得一提的是客房的卫生也做的非常干净。这里想和你们分享下,我们其实一直都是Peninsula Hotel下午茶的爱好者,从你们酒店开业至今我们在那里享用了很多次下午茶,以及早餐,但是我想她们可能太忙碌了,下午茶时间客人很多,服务人员不足够及时服务,总是要等待很久,早餐时间,有出现过点犯错误,以及视频不新鲜,在最近一次早餐我点了水果碗,蓝莓是发霉的,草莓是腐烂的,一位金发白皮肤漂亮Ms,在发现问题后,她没有表达歉意,只是说我们不收这个水果碗的费用。我只是微笑没有再说其他的,我想对于Peninsula来说好的服务是最值得关心和在意的问题。相比入住The Emory,Maybourne Hotel ,她们全体工作人员的热情和关怀,真的很值得认可。希望Peninsula 越来越好 。"

"The decor is a bit dated, but the cleanliness is acceptable. The hotel staff are friendly and the location is good. Breakfast is decent. However, it might not be as good value for money as the standard twin room."

Park Grand Heathrow ★★★★
"I stayed in a single room 512. It was a larger than expected room and the bed was high and comfortable. The hotel was easy to find you can catch the H91 bus from Osterley or walk for 15 mins from the station. The room had a fridge, TV and a decent bathroom with body cream in addition to all the usual cleansers. The shower was great! The room was carpeted and that was nice. There was a kettle with a basic range of hot drinks. The breakfast was good but the coffee not so good. I liked the choice of fresh fruit. The hot breakfast was varied but a bit cold. The toaster was not toasting the bread that well. The croissants were very nice crappy and fresh. The staff were pleasant and the foyer areas welcoming. I enjoyed my stay as I was visiting Kew Gardens and it took a short bus ride directly from the hotel and that was very good. So local to visit Kew Gardens. There are lots of food places around the hotel that are excellent value. I tried a chicken Biryani and it was superb! All very reasonably priced. The H91 bus stop is directly outside the hotel. I had a good view of Heathrow airport from my window and I was amazed how many flights went over the hotel. I couldn’t hear the planes but enjoyed watching them. I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and I would definitely stay again. It was a good value choice and met all my needs. Excellent stay for visiting Kew Gardens and a very reasonable price! The images I’ve uploaded are the hotel from the outside the view from my room, interior of the room after I stayed! And the bathroom and cleansers hope it’s a help folks!"

Zedwell Capsule Hotel Piccadilly Circus ★
"My fifth time staying here and the worst stay yet. Firstly the light did not work in the capsule. This was reported and not fixed so the entire time was complete darkness. The pods are not sound proof. I’m not sure if this is possible but they have got less sound proof over the last few months. I do not recommend staying if you are on business. Constant noise from people coming back way past 1am means very uncomfortable night sleep"

Holiday Inn LONDON - KENSINGTON HIGH ST. by IHG ★★★★
"Facilities: OK Cleanliness: OK Ambiance: OK The bed was tiny, haha, but that's London for you. Service: OK Very central location, convenient for getting anywhere. Can't complain about the price, London is just that expensive. Breakfast had a good variety. The bed was super small, but it did the job."

"If you are looking for a short trip into London and don't want to pay ridiculous prices, then you should consider stopping at Park Royal Travelodge. It's clean, fresh, and conveniently placed to get into London. Shah has great local knowledge and also able to guiding in how to get in/out easily. I recommend this highly for short trips and for family stays too. "

Hilton London Kensington Hotel ★★★★
"The hotel service was excellent. The concierge offered complimentary luggage storage, and our room was cleaned daily with fresh towels and amenities provided. The room itself was fully equipped with everything we needed. This year, the UK has experienced unusually hot weather, so having air conditioning indoors was a huge plus. The transportation is very convenient, as it's only about 300 meters from Shepherd's Bush, and the Westfield shopping center nearby makes shopping super easy. I'd definitely choose this hotel again for my next visit."

⚠️ Degraded version: hotel listings are currently unavailable for this destination.

About London

London is one of the world's major global cities, exerting an outsized influence on art, architecture, entertainment, commerce, and finance. As the United Kingdom's economic and cultural centre, it is also the country's largest metropolis. The city has four UNESCO World Heritage sites (the Tower of London, Maritime Greenwich, Westminster Palace, and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew), alongside instantly recognisable landmarks like Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, and the London Eye. Over 300 languages are spoken here, and three of the world's top ten museums and galleries call London home, part of 857 art galleries citywide.

London Travel Essentials

Getting Around London

The Tube has 11 lines and over 270 stations; most tourist attractions sit in Zones 1-2. A Zone 1 single costs £3.10 (~$4.15) via contactless or Oyster, and the Zones 1-2 daily cap is £8.50 (~$11.37). Trains run every 1-5 minutes at peak times.

London buses charge a flat £1.75 (~$2.34) per journey, with a Hopper Fare giving unlimited bus and tram transfers within one hour. The daily bus cap is £5.25 (~$7.02). Buses no longer accept cash; you'll need contactless or an Oyster card.

Heathrow Airport (Zone 6) connects to central London via the Piccadilly and Elizabeth lines; a Zone 1-6 single journey is roughly £5.90 (~$7.89) at peak. The Elizabeth line also provides fast east-west express service through Paddington, Bond Street, and Liverpool Street. Driving in central London comes with a £18 (~$24.08) daily Congestion Charge (Mon-Fri, 7 AM-6 PM) plus a £12.50 (~$16.72) ULEZ charge for non-compliant vehicles.

Food & Dining in London

Borough Market near London Bridge is London's oldest food market, with over 1,000 years of history and 100+ stalls. Standouts include Kappacasein grilled cheese, Bread Ahead custard doughnuts, and Humble Crumble. Open Tuesday to Sunday, closed Mondays.

Beigel Bake on Brick Lane serves the iconic salt beef bagel with mustard and pickles for about £6 (~$8.03). It's open 24/7 and has been a London institution for decades.

Afternoon tea (finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, cakes) runs £40-£80+ (~$53.52-~$107.03+) per person. Fortnum & Mason's service starts at £65 (~$86.96). For something more casual, Dishoom's Bombay-style cafés serve a bacon naan roll and black daal; a meal for two costs roughly £35 (~$46.83). Go early (8-9am) to skip the queues.

Entry Requirements

Since April 2025, all non-visa nationals must apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling to the UK, including those transiting through.

Tourists can visit the UK as a Standard Visitor for up to 6 months for tourism, business meetings, short study courses, and visiting family. No visa is needed for many nationalities. Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your stay.

From February 25, 2026, all UK or Irish citizens, regardless of dual citizenship, must present a valid UK or Irish passport (or certificate of entitlement) to enter the UK. The UK also offers a digital eVisa option alongside physical visa documents.

Weather & Best Time to Visit

London summers (June-August) average 64°F-75°F (18°C-24°C). The best window for warm-weather sightseeing is late June through early September, when temperatures peak and rainfall is relatively lower.

Spring (March-May) is the most pleasant season for exploring, with temperatures in the 48°F-64°F (9°C-18°C) range and the city's parks green and blooming. Winters are mild (37°F to 46°F / 3°C to 8°C) and snowfall is rare in the city centre.

January through March is the cheapest time to visit, with lower hotel rates. London has a temperate maritime climate with rain spread evenly year-round, so pack a light raincoat regardless of when you go.
