Top Chelmsford Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Point A London Liverpool Street

10/10 Excellent

"This is my favourite place for a short solo stay in London. It’s a great location near major stations but still on a quiet side street. The staff are lovely and so accommodating. Would recommend."

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"Property is located on the Thames and my room just happened to overlook the Tower Bridge. Waking to that everyday was sweet! Right outside the hotel are several restaurants and spots for drinks along the river. The location is close to the transit system and an easy walk to most attractions. While I didn’t interact with the staff other than checking in and out, they were very friendly. The room itself was spacious with a very comfortable bed. Bathroom was nice. I also had to add a day to my stay about six weeks in advance and had no problems at all. I recommend."

Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge

8/10 Good

"Was ok. Would start again"

Locke London Canary Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"The position of the TV was not the best and our utensils we're not clean but overall the entire stay was Immaculate we loved everything about the stay and the staff at the hotel were amazing. I highly recommend anyone to come!"

Leonardo Hotel London Aldgate - formerly Hotel Saint

10/10 Excellent

"A great hotel."

Tribe London Canary Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Coean"

Berkley Aparthotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely clean and compact apartment with shower and cooking facilities should you need them. Pretty small but all you need and what you would expect for the price so all in all, a great space to stay for a few nights. Loved being back in Shoreditch and all the places I used to frequent, handy for loads of cool bars and cafes and so near old st tube and liv st. Would book again."

Limehouse Library Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was good and near to public transport links in to London. We stayed here while attending a festival in Victoria park and was around a 45 min walk down to canal or £11 in an uber. Lots of restaurants, bars and a cinema nearby at Canary Wharf which was around a 20min walk or you can jump on the DLR The hotel decor is definitely kitch, and lots of interesting objects to look at! We both enjoyed the buffet breakfast which had a Mediterranean feel."
