Let's admit it, when coming to London there are few main attractions that are on everyone's list. Big Ben, Houses of Parliament and London Eye are on top of that list. You can see them from your room together with a great views over London.

Another hotel with great locations (in Covent Garden) good reviews and affordable price. What's not to like, well maybe the building doesn't look all that pretty but hey, you'll be either exploring London or sleeping in your room.

There is no place like Soho for unique experiences, best parties till early morning and great restaurants. Stay at Mimi's, save money on accommodation and spend it on enjoying your night at most decadent part of London.

Z Hotels provide a great value for money when it comes to accommodation in central London. This is another one on our list. Maybe a further from all the spots but still within walking distance
The Z Hotel Strand, London

This is probably the most expensive hotel on this list but we thought we add it on if you fancy more luxury but still on an affordable side (around £150).
Club Quarters Hotel Trafalgar Square, London

Only 5 min walk to Trafalgar Square or Covent Garden this hotel is a perfect base for exploring the charming areas and touristy spots. Rooms might be on a smaller side but we know you're not in London to sit in a hotel:)
The Z Hotel Trafalgar, London

If you want to be in the centre of where it is all happening and not break a bank this very minimalistic hotel is for you. Expect quite small rooms but you can't have everything:)
Zedwell Piccadilly Circus, London

East London

Not many hotels in this section as we focused on hotels in central London as that makes is much easier to explore. The hotels here are around Tower of London and for exploring cool and vibey places like Spitalfields Market or Brick Lane.

When it comes to location, this hotel is the hands down winner. Waking up to the iconic Tower Bridge is a must for anyone visiting London for a weekend.

Stylish and slightly more expensive than others and new to London hotel scene which is why we thought we will include it here as it is new, shiny and not super expensive.
