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

The Ridgemount has clean comfortable small rooms, most with ensuite at what for London is a reasonable price. We have stayed at the hotel multiple times so know that some rooms are better than others but all are okay. There is no lift and up to 4 double flights of stairs. Wi-fi is good on the lower floors and there... More

For London, this is a VERY cheap place to stay. While it's not the nicest place we've ever been, it is a charming bed and breakfast on a lovely street. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was great. The room wasn't spacious or extravagant, but nice enough to get good sleep. Close to a tube stop. Really, no... More

My huband and I stay here for one night in December and could not fault the experience! Our room, which was on the top floor, was spacious, clean and the bathroom was really lovely. Only thing I would say if that stairs were an issue for any reason, top floor is a few flights up! This was not a problem... More

The Ridgemount Hotel is the perfect choice if you're looking for mid-priced accomodation in London. The rooms were spacious enough for two and is always clean. A 24-hour bus to the city centre (Leicester Square) is opposite the hotel and the Goodge Street station is just a 3-minute walk. The neighbourhood feels safe and the staff is extra helpful. I...
