My friend and I, two swedish students/tourists travelling with a tight budget, booked this hotel based on the positive reviews on Tripadvisor, and it was just as good as the reviews said! The rooms are a bit dated, but cleaned to almost perfection, and they cleaned our room every single day, something I didn't expect for such a low priced... More

This is a great value hotel, the rooms are very simple and dated but the hotel is in a great location with easy access to so many train/bus routes. For the amount you pay in the location it is great value and the people that run it are very friendly, they always made sure we were alright and knew where... More

The hotel is finely located: less than 15 minutes from King Cross station, 5 minutes from British museum, a bit more from Oxford street and the main commercial streets. The room was simple but very large with a view on the garden. English breakfast was very nice and complete. There's free wifi in all rooms and coffee or tea available... More

I stayed here by myself in one of the single rooms with a shared bath in early January. I was very impressed! You can tell right away that it is a family run business and that all employees of the hotel take great pride in their work. Very nice people; very clean rooms -- and a terrific breakfast, just like... More

Great little hotel in the heart of Blooms bury. It is not fancy and is dated but therein lies its charm. The service is very good indeed from the attentive breakfast ladies to the reception staff. The rooms are clean, warm and reasonably sized..the prices are very reasonable. Thoroughly recommend . More

I took a group of students to London and we stayed at the Ridgemount. The staff are like family and very accommodating. Breakfast is plentiful and the location can't be beat (2 blocks from the tube.) The laundry service is really convenient and reasonably priced. The owner checked in with us every morning regarding our itinerary, offering additional off the... More

Family run hotel (3rd generation). Nothing is too much trouble. Can give you advice about anything you need to know while staying in London. Very central. Spotless, excellent home cooked breakfast. Free wifi, computer for guest use in the lounge. Free tea and coffee in the lounge. Spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds. Very well priced. We arrived very early in the... More

The location of this hotel is great. 10-15 minutes walk to Soho, same to Oxford street / Regent street. The staff is very helpful and seem to know the city well. The room we had (for 4 people) was small, but extremely clean, and the bathroom was of great standard to be London - newly renovated. Breakfast was basic but... More

My husband and I loved staying at the Ridgemount. It's true that this is not a luxury hotel by any stretch of the imagination... our room was a bit crooked and small, there were hardly any surfaces on which to put anything, the television was a tiny 13-inch cube with fuzzy reception and a broken remote that faced the wrong...

I've stayed twice so far this year, each time for four nights and will stay again if it's available. You get a lovely warm welcome, not only when you arrive, but from every member of staff you meet. Gower Street itself is very "business oriented" but the hotel is less than 5 minutes from Goodge Street (tube) and Tottenham Court... More
