2-Star Hotels in Greater London, United Kingdom

My first time staying in a capsule and I would highly recommend especially if you are on a budget.  Each set of capsules are in their own room that can only be accessed by your electronic key, the toilet/shower area is a big area and very clean. When I arrived there were loads of people checking in but I barely bumped into anyone, especially when using the communal areas. There’s always someone on hand at the check in area to help and security on site (who were very friendly). The capsule itself had enough room to sit up in and the bed was comfy. There was also a dimmer light and an extractor fan to keep the capsule ventilated.  Hooks were provided within the capsule to hang up backpacks and jackets, etc and you could lock it from the inside and attach a padlock to the outside too for when you were out.

It's was great stay in this hostel. Not noisy, except noise from air conditioning but it's because it was hot in the summer. Although air conditioning not really was helpful, in the room it's was hot even with air conditioning, possibly because the temperature outside was 29° to 30°. Everyone was kind, at midnight was no noise. Breakfast not free, costs 6.50 GBP, from 7:30am to 10am. To get breakfast you need to pay first at the reception 6.50£, the receptionist will give you one token, you need to go to the room where is the breakfast (near the kitchen) and wait while cleaning lady will come to you, give her this token and she'll tell you that you can start to enjoy breakfast. I first didn't know how it works, so I just come to the breakfast room and was waiting for someone to come, for me it was less than 5 mins. Hostel has several bathroom cabins (shared bathroom). Unisex toilets. Kitchen (microwave, etc), although I didn't use it looks good. In the room you have lockers, but you need to take with you lock 🔒🔐, or as someone told me you can rent lock at the reception. Also, take with you towels or rent one at reception for 2.50£. Location of hostel is amazing 10/10 ★, near Hyde Park. You have everything very close. Groceries stores, underground stations, bus stations.

It was clean, there was a bathroom that was shared by everyone but it was overall okay. There is a bar/restaurant that’s opened until midnight, then you gotta leave. I had to work late so they were kind enough to let me stay a bit longer but I would say it’s not good if you have meetings online since there is a lot of background noise and music. For a night it was great. It takes about an hour to get downtown but the area is very quiet and there are buses nearby.

Great location and very clean facilities. The staff were kind and helpful. However, my room was located in the basement with a poor view. It was also a bit cold, and since the central heating wasn’t turned on, there was no way to adjust the temperature.

3 of us stayed in this room which is in OK location in London with £10 a day parking. Very basic room with no kettle or iron and with the summer heat was quite stuffy. Windows only open slightly and tower fans in room are useless. Has problems with room entry due to faulty Door and had to seek assistance on multiple occasions. Staff is friendly and helpful but although the bathroom was sufficient the room felt a bit small. Beda were comfy enough but lack of sockets next to beds was annoying. If i was travelling alone and this was cheapest option I may stay again but room is to claustrophobic if family is staying iny opinion.

This is a budget hotel and you get what you pay for. The room was internal so no windows. If I woke during the night, I didn't know what time it was. It is located in Hackney which is a colourful part of London. The overground station is so close you can hear the trains but not to the point of disturbing sleep A kettle is available from reception. There are shops and a McDonalds nearby. The hotel is very clean and also secure. The room was not ensuite, the toilet and showers were shared with two or three other bedrooms. The plug in the washbasin didn't work so I used toilet tissue instead when shaving but also that the plug in the washbasin in the toilet and showers in the next corridor was fine. I would definitely stay here again (unless the price goes up significantly).

This hostel was well located, had ideal staff, and had clean facilities. However, the only complaint I had was against the other guests (which is a negative mark, which can be temperamental). To be clear, the other guests kept to themselves, were clean, and generally polite when interacting with them. The issue was their unusual sleep schedule, which often meant that I was being woken up in the early morning hours.

I loved everything about my time at this hostel, so many huge common spaces to relax in, the bed was fantastic, the ensuite bathroom was fantastic, the additional facilities were fantastic and of course the people were fantastic!! Everything was chef's kiss 🤌 I never ever write reviews, but this hostel is totally worth one! 100% will rebook here if I visit London again :)

Belvedere Hotel in Paddington is a lovely choice! The cozy atmosphere make for a pleasant stay. My room was comfortable and well-maintained, providing a great retreat after a day of exploring. Its convenient location near public transport and attractions is a major plus.
