This lovely hotel was enjoyed by our son for 5 days. I get to write the review because I paid for it. Not only did he say they were very, very helpful with directions, information, recommendations and everything else for our 23 year old to manuever around London on his own but they endured my extraordinary confusion regarding me sending...

I am in London with a good friend several times a year, and we always stay at the Ridgemount, if possible. Price and location are great: it's just a short walk to Leicester Square and conveniently located close to both Goodge Street Station and Russell Square Station and the neighborhood is safe to walk in, even late at night.

We stayed in a family room (room 31) on the top floor ... 59 steps up. We carried our heavy bags up and down and walked the stairs several times a day between trips around London. This wouldn't have been an issue had we not been at the end of our holiday with all our bags with us. This place... More

The best thing about the Ridgemount Hotel is that it motivated me to be anywhere but in it. I stayed here on the concluding leg of a longer journey (touring Jordan, Egypt, and Italy), and it came as some surprise that this central-London hotel was the most disappointing of all my accommodation - not so much for its negative qualities,...

I was very pleased with the price and service at the Ridgemount. I stayed in Room 23 facing the garden. Great access to the underground via Grooge Street station just 2 blocks away. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast service was great.

I've been going to London fairly regularly two or three times a year for the past ten years or so, so as you can imagine I've seen my fair share of B&Bs and hotels, and I must say the Ridgemount is a real gem! The fact that it's managed and run as a family business really makes a difference. I... More

I have stayed at the Ridgemount about ten times now, primarily nine times over the last 13 years, and there is a reason for that! I have never found a reason to stay elsewhere. I have scanned through the reviews here, and don't get some of the negativity; I think it's a great place to stay, and I was there... More

This hotel is very clean, beds are comfy and the location is good, although Gower Street is narrow, very congested and fume choked. But the bedroom was so small there was no room for a wardrobe. It was very cramped for 2 people with a bag each. When we asked about a bigger room we were told that they were... More

For 9 days last week, my wife and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Ridgemount Hotel. It is conveniently situated in a very safe neighborhood. Importantly, it was just a few minutes walk to reach multiple bus lines as well as the Underground. This is a family-run hotel and Alad, his Dad and the rest of their team keep... More
