Lovely little Hotel. Very friendly and courteous staff, exceptionally clean. Great breakfast! My only reason for not giving 5 stars is because the bed was too hard! I would definitely recommend and will use them again.

Pros: Hotel was situated in an area which felt safe and was surprisingly quiet. Our room was clean and had convenient shelving which we used to keep our luggage organized. The bathroom was well lit and the shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Very easy walking to a Tesco express, Starbucks, Chipotle, Goodge Street station and bus stops. And while the major attractions aren’t super close, they are walkable if necessary (we ended up walking back to the hotel from Westminster one evening after waiting for a bus that never came). It was wonderful to find a room in London which fit our family of five on a budget. Staff was very friendly and were there to open the front door for us to check in after 11PM when we arrived later than expected due to train difficulties. Cons: Really can’t think of any. Overall, we would recommend the Ridgemount Hotel to any family on a budget looking to visit London.

Lovely stay for night in London

Had a 1 night stay with family, stayed in room B3 slept 5 people, room was lovely it looks like it has recently been refurbished. Breakfast was what you would expect for the low cost of the hotel. Staff were accommodating to request for additional toast for the children.

Everything a hotel should be

The Ridgemount sets the bar for all privately run hotels. This is what others should aspire to. Clean rooms, friendly interested staff. Excellent freshly cooked breakfast. Excellent location

Very clean, well run. Free hot drinks in the lobby. Amazing full English breakfast included. Staff were wonderful. Small, but perfect for a one night stopover. Right next to Euston train station which was my goal, but still convenient.

Lovely clean room in central London.

Very conveniently located in central London at a very good price. Clean with a comfortable bed. Minimal sound of traffic from my room. An older property converted with small rooms and shared shower and toilet facilities. A lot of stairs to some of the rooms.
