I stayed in the City Hotel in September 2009 for 3 nights. It was my first time in London and I knew that the hotels are very expensive. We didn't want to spend a fortune on the hotel, that's why we decided to stay in the City Hotel. It isn't that close to Downtown, but you can take the tube... more

The hotel staff could not have been more friendly and welcoming. They all helped us to celebrate a daughter's 30th birthday in style with many special touches. The cocktail lounge had a good buzz. The restaurant served wonderful Asian fusion food with dishes to please any taste. It was all served beautifully and tasted even better. The rooms varied in... more

reception and public areas good, room clean, staff friendly. Didn't try eating there and bar looked lovely though deserted. Very handy location and good value. Room was at the back of the hotel and quiet with a window you could open. more

Don't let other people's reviews put you off booking this hotel. We arrived by car and my heart sank when we turned the corner into Osborne Street and saw the hotel but once inside I forgot how run down the street looked. The reception was welcoming with friendly staff and booking-in took a matter of minutes. We'd booked two rooms,... more

On first walking into the room I was pleasantly surprised. The room was larger than expected, bright and airy and there was a large flat screen tv. However, the beds were very uncomfortable - don't come here if you need a good nights sleep. Pillows and mattress were rock hard, and the air con and fridge made strange noises all... more

Booked this hotel, then read the reviews and was very worried about what might lie ahead. But on arrival found the reception staff to be very friendly and helpful and check in efficient. The room I was allocated was at the back of the hotel and was very quiet. Lovely comfy bed, big T.V. fridge, bathroom...all spotlessly clean. No problem... more

I was also worried about this hotel after reading the previous reviews. My mind was put to rest as soon as I walked into reception and had a warm welcome. Checking in took just a few minutes, whilst sharing a joke with the clerk. I was soon outside my room door and hesitantly put my key card in and opened... more

Firstly I was little skeptical about booking this hotel after reading the reviews. But each one of them were right as I could see it for myself during our stay. I still went through the booking as my 65 year old parents wont have to walk a lot to get to the tube station nearby. The location is Blue Collar... more

I booked the hotel before I read many of the negative comments of the City Hotel from Tripadvisor and felt panic. But it turned out quite all right after we checked in, except one really HUGE turn off-- the toilet didn't work and the gaga couldn't be flushed down. The porter was quite helpful and finally made the toilet work... more
