18 Great value hotels in London

London isn't renowned for its reasonably priced accommodation, particularly if you want to be close to the action. However, for those in the know, there are some hotels that are stylish, well located, and well priced. To make selecting the best hotel for you a quick and simple choice, our hotel experts have made a comprehensive list of great value hotels in London. Whether you want something youthful and hip or boutique-y and traditional — there is something for all tastes here spread across some of London's best areas. So why not browse through our collection to start planning your next stay?

For a hip stay

The stylish Hoxton Hotel fits right into the vibrant East London scene, with the perfect mix of style and attitude. Modern minimalist rooms offer garden views and unique touches. The Hoxton Grill, a local favourite, is well worth checking out. With a system of the earlier you book the less you pay — and prices start from under £150 per night — this is a good value option.
Town Hall is Bethnal Green's stark, Edwardian municipal Town Hall, turned cool design hotel with a heart. There are 98 rooms, some of which have their own kitchens (though there's also an acclaimed modern restaurant on-site). They've added a pool and spa in a glass top floor, however, they've kept the tea lady, who now delivers cocktails to the rooms between six and eight!
At CitizenM Shoreditch you'll find the usual "luxe for less": large comfy beds, stylish designer furniture, contemporary artworks and a generally trendy vibe in the friendly and lively lounge/bar/restaurant area.
Camberwell's Church Street Hotel has 31 bright, cheerful, Mexican themed rooms with numerous thoughtful touches. Plus there's a fantastic cocktail lounge which also serves great tapas. And rooms start from under £100 per night.

For a contemporary style

Trendy and modern citizenM Bankside offers its brand of "luxury for less" on London's Southbank. Ideal for arty types, with iconic Vitra furniture throughout, modern art on display and a stone's throw from the Tate. Tablets in every room for mood control and a host of other goodies thrown in with the price.
Another from the same chain, citizenM Tower of London boasts rooms with stunning city views, 24-hour food, and funky interiors that are perfect for hanging out! A good choice for both business and leisure travellers.
Z Shoreditch is a sleek modern hotel conveniently located a short walk from Old Street station. Compact rooms are smart and unfussy featuring all the mod-cons and well-designed bathrooms. What is lacking in space is made up in the price tag. A great option for young and budget travellers.

For the location

The Rockwell Hotel is a chic budget hotel where the compromise isn't on location. The Rockwell is close to South Kensington and it has an elegant restaurant and bar and a gym too. The Rockwell is a perfect example of a 'no frills' hotel where they in fact do have the frills that really matter to most people.
Another well-placed property is Z Hotels at Gloucester Place. A collection of five townhouses located in London's smart Marylebone area. Cleanly designed rooms feature large sash windows, parquet flooring, crisp white linen and contemporary bathrooms. Well positioned and very well priced.
The Resident Kensington is set in one of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea's famously grand townhouses, beautifully converted into streamlined, designer accommodation. Expect light rooms with high ceilings, bay windows and kitchenettes. A good choice for longer stays.

For a pub with rooms

The Victoria Inn is located in the newly gentrified area of Peckham. Downstairs is a lively gastropub serving hearty British cuisine and a good range of ales. Upstairs there are 18 simple yet stylish bedrooms priced from £120 per night.
The Tommyfield offers brand-new bedrooms set in a fashionable pub just 10 minutes from central London via tube. With an excellent pub menu and evening entertainment including stand-up comedy — this is an enticing property for those seeking London chic without a huge price tag.
The Alma is a Victorian pub/hotel set within a quiet London district in striking distance of south, west and central London. Clean and well-appointed rooms lend themselves to a comfortable stay. The bar and restaurant serve up traditional and hearty food and drinks, all for a reasonable price.

For a quiet locality

Close to Richmond Park, Kew Gardens and Twickenham Stadium, among other attractions, The Petersham is a 58 room hotel with a large country house feel and fantastic views over the Thames and some charming architectural details.
Brook Green Hotel is set in a quiet, leafy and residential area of Hammersmith. This pub has recently been refurbished to include 17 simple, comfortable rooms upstairs, where you can stay from £120 per night including breakfast.

For a B&B

Twenty Nevern Square is an Earls Court townhouse which has been cleverly converted into one of the best chic budget hotels in London. From the outside, it doesn't look as if it could have the 20 rooms it has — some of which are a fair size. The location feels too buzzy to contain a peaceful haven, but it does. It also has a great bar with a high ceiling and a big skylight. And breakfast is included in the very reasonable price!
At B+B Belgravia and Studios@82 there's no compromise on location, the compromising is in the facilities; there's no restaurant, gym or lift, but rooms are comfortable and attractive. The best part is the Belgravia location means you're close to the museums of South Kensington, the shopping of Sloane Square and the Kings Road, and loads of great pubs and restaurants.
The Windmill, Clapham has been modelled on old fashioned coaching inns, and offers relaxed, homely service right on Clapham Common. Its sister pub, The Windmill on the Common, is a good place to drink and dine, and this is where your breakfast will be served.
