The included Full English Breakfast was fantastic. My room was very small but still sufficient, and with everything I needed. I found all the staff very extremely friendly. While it was nothing spectacular and I did find a ladybug on my pillow, it was overall a good stay.

Such an incredible stay for a solo traveler, such as myself. Room was quaint, but had everything I needed. Amelia, who looked after Ridgemount Hotel during my stay, was absolutely lovely and very helpful. Would stay here again next time I'm stopping in London.

For a moderately priced small room with a private bath the room was satisfactory. The small bed in this single room was adequate for my needs. I did not try the breakfast. WiFi was very good. The location was good for my purposes (e.g. very near the British Museum). I had little interaction with the staff but what there was was pleasant. I would stay here again.

Small and simple but totally adequate

This hotel is perfect for a short stay in London. The room is small but totally comfortable. It was a little loud on the busy street, so this wouldn't be good for a light sleeper, but it was fine for me. The shared bathroom was not a problem, since there were plenty to choose from and I never had trouble finding one that was open. The hot breakfast in the morning was lovely as well. The neighborhood felt safe and was easy to get to using public transportation.

Our room did not have a private bathroom, but some rooms do, so read the room descriptions carefully when booking. There are lots of stairs, including a half flight from the room to the bathrooms. Even though I didn't love having to use a shared bathroom, they were clean and almost always available. We loved the full service breakfast each morning. They served coffee, tea, cereal, toast, and a full English breakfast of bacon, eggs, beans, and tomato.
Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023
