Staying in London overnight for less than £100 is not easy, especially when booked the day before. This hotel down from Brick Lane was clean, friendly, helpful and not too far from the sights of Central London. Dont go if you're looking for opulence or contemporary rooms. It's pretty dated and tired but fine for a Bargain stay where cost... More

Stayed overnight at the City Hotel on numerous occasions and have always found it very comfortable and convenient. The rooms are spacious and clean and remarkably quiet for the centre of London. The bar is great and the breakfast is tasty and reasonably priced. Great for Spitalfields, Brick Lane and Truman Brewery markets. Would highly recommend.

Had to visit London for work and booked into City Hotel. Initially thought it was out of the way and too far from the office I was working at, but it proved to be an excellent choice. The room was great, large, airy, quiet (ask for a room at the back), with a comfy bed. The breakfast was plentiful and... More

Spent a couple of days here, excellent service, decent room for the price, large, airy, very clean, comfy bed. Location good too if you want to see an interesting part of London.

This hotel is good for a person who plans to be in the city for couple days only and has to work out of the city center. Pretty average hotel, nothing good or bad about it. The location is perfect if someone from India travels, cause there are lot of Indian restaurants close by (within a 200 meter walking distance... More

I have stayed twice at the City Hotel as it is convenient for my London office. As others have remarked it is quite unprepossessing from the outside and it overlooks a building site but inside it is clean and comfortable. It is also quiet, even at the front of the hotel. On my firts visit in March 2012 I stayed... More

There are some bad reviews of this hotel on this site, but they are a long time ago. I think this hotel must have gone through a major refurbishment a couple of years ago. I recently stayed here for business, and found the hotel to be pretty superb! The street outside looks rather run down. But the hotel itself was... More

I stayed five nights and can't really fault this hotel. The room was clean and modern. Towels and sheets changed every day. Breakfast was good, but didn't eat here in the evening. Some of the photos on trip advisor put me off before I arrived, but I can say I had a satisfactor stay. Enjoy!

Had just a one night stay but very enjoyable. We had 3 rooms all were large and comfortable. Clean but a little dated in decor. Friendly staff and good varied breakfast. Only 0.7miles from the Tower of London near East Algate Tube station. We picked this location as we had booked to attend the Tower of London Ceremony of the... More
