The Ridgemount Hotel is a small family run hotel (same family for over 40 years) with lots of character and charm. Staff were all warm and friendly and provided high level of service. The owners, Mr & Mrs Rees, were both very friendly and very helpful in providing advice and suggestions when planning outings and how to get there. We... more

Fantastic location, reasonable price, and helpful staff made London the favorite stop during our European trek. Mr. Rees, his family, and staff could not have been more helpful. We stayed in the hotel the nights of Christmas eve and Christmas. What a wonderful surprise when Mrs. Rees came to our room on Christmas eve with several presents and treats! It... more

The hotel has a perfect location in Bloomsbury, you can walk to the city centre (Piccadilly, Covent Garden, Oxford street, ...). The owners are very kind and friendly and can give you advice about bus, tube and much more. Breakfast is good, but not buffet. Our room was small - good for us who spent 3 nights without luggage -... more

I just returned home today from the Ridgemount hotel and I'm happy with it. I had booked a single room with shared facilities, £43 per night (for Christmas). The hotel is rather easy to find, just print out the map on the "location" page of their website and that is just enough to reach there. One of the biggest advantages... more

Stayed at the Ridgemount during the week of Thanksgiving. It's located about 3 blocks from the Goodge tube stop. Note that this tube stop has lots of stairs if you have lots of luggage. If you are tubing in from Heathrow, you might want to take the line to the Russell Square stop, a little further, where I was told... more

On arrival the late middle aged owner and I had a disagreement over the deposit paid for by a colleague; we arrived before the colleague and the hotel owner exploded in a furious temper when I told him I was only staying one night; the colleague was staying two nights in a separate room; my companion and I in our... more

Stayed 2 nights and would say the pros: Cheap Clean Good location Friendly staff Free web in lounge However, the cons: Rooms are tiny Well outdated – furnishing, carpeting, bathroom etc Noisy even at the back of hotel from other occupants and people coming up/down stairs – could even hear the person going to the toilet in the room above!... more

I booked the hotel on the basis of glowing Tripadvisor reviews which on reflection may for once have been a little rose tinted! The hotel is perfectly situated close to 3 tube stations and 10 or 15 minutes from just about any attraction you care to mention. It is also very cheap, I paid £55 for a midweek night including... more

While I can't say enough good things about the staff here (and they were very accommodating), the only reason to choose this hotel is its location. It's only a few blocks from the British Museum and three or four blocks to the Euston station. Other than that, this place is wretched. The establishment is run-down and worn; the rooms are... more
