LondonHomeGardens, hotel in London

Situated in London, LondonHomeGardens is a historic guest house that features free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a garden and a terrace. With garden views, this accommodation offers a balcony.

We stayed here before and after our wedding as the venue was nearby. It has its own separate entrance and garden which made it feel very private. The room was large and very pretty and the bridal party got ready there on the morning. It was so fun!!! Got great pre-wedding pics in the lovely garden and Donatella was a fabulous host-so friendly, kind and helpful. Can’t recommend this airbnb highly enough. Five star stay!!! Juliet & Liam

Ensuite Room Shoreditch, hotel in London

Ensuite Room Shoreditch is situated in the Tower Hamlets district of London, 1.6 km from Liverpool Street Underground Station, 2.4 km from Sky Garden and 2.9 km from Tower of London.

We absolutely loved this place! It's on an absolutely great location, bus station in front is amazing, especially on a rainy day! And the tube is not to far away too. Shops and restaurants just few steps away and famous Brick Lane is few minutes walking distance. As for the apartment, it has everything you need, great in size for 2 or maybe family with kids because there is a couch. Mini fridge and microwave is a good thing to have too, would be super if they add maybe a kettle and cups for tea or coffee. The most amazing addition that we absolutely loved loved was a projector, after a long day in the city it's so fun to watch a movie. And most importantly, communication was great, we had a busy day and needed to store our bags and they were really helpful and allowed us to leave our bags for the day in the apt. That is going above and beyond, and we hope we will get a chance to stay here again!

    It was a great hostel experience. The location was perfect, near the city center, even by walk and also quiet and lovely neighborhood. All areas were neat and very organized. The breakfast was simple but value for money. The team there is very friendly and seems like they put love on their project.

    Great location- about 10 minutes on bus or tube from the middle of London, won't say it's the nicest neighborhood in the world but lively and loads of nice, cheap food places just up the road. Beds are comfy, plenty of floor space to pack and unpack. Everyone in my room was really quiet and respectful of each other which was refreshing! Staff are also lovely and very friendly. Will definitely be back- my new go-to London hostel.

    Convenient hostel located just next to a metro station. Each bed is equipped with power sockets, personal light and a curtain, which allows for some privacy inside an otherwise big dorm. It was possible to work from the hostel since there are some quiet areas, and there are some places to eat around, cheaper than in the city center.

    There's so much to like. Great value, very clean, great breakfast, great location and, most of all, a great host. It is 2 mins walk to the station for trains into London or South. It is incredibly quiet - I slept with the window open and heard no noise all night and I'm a very light sleeper. Fabulous value.
