Hotels near St John the Baptist Church, London

came hours before check in time to drop our luggages, there's a luggage store provided for free. great service by staff and the room is spacey. pretty and clean area of location too!

The worst hotel stay I have experienced! Arrived after a hectic day at work only to be greeted by the rudest receptionist I have ever encountered. I travel and stay in London on a weekly basis and have never experienced customer service like it. Receptionist was agrresive in attitude and demanded a cash payment of £100 on entering the hotel. I explained I had paid in adance in full via booking.com with no notification at time of booking that a deposit would be required. Rudely demanded of photo ID and notified a charge of £250 would be taken for evidence of drug use. I am a professional business customer and this was so poorly judged by staff. I was told I was emailed on booking that cash deposit of £100 would be demanded on booking 2 weeks prior. Communication was provided on the day at 9.00am via booking.com email and was not seen due to being at work. Was told I should walk to a cash point in the rain with little direction as to where the nearest cash point was. It was pouring with rain, getting dark and I was a lone female customer. Receptionist replied that she was happy to cancel my booking if I preferred . The day of the queen's return to buckingham Palace with no chance of securing an alternative hotel. After returning with the cash I was given a key card with no holder with room number on. I made my way to my room after clarifying room number twice, staff area doors in corridors left open exposing dirty laundry, key card device broken off door, semen stains on wall, public hair on top of bed sheets. Mortified, so much so I didn't get under the sheets for fear of what I would find. Tried to have a wash to find the shower gel had been topped up 3 quarters with water from a previous guest. Worst stay of my life!!! Unsafe and should be closed down!!

Overall experience Was amazing . Was able to check earlier because my flight got to London in the morning. Staff was so nice and welcoming. Breakfast buffet was perfect, room was spacious and the view from 17th floor was breathtaking. Got complimentary cake and wine and I loved it..the only issue was the elevator. Had only two elevator and it was always busy and crowded but asides that, I really enjoyed my stay and definitely coming back.

Only 1 - 2 min walk from Russell Square Underground station. Comfortable bed and room is ok to fit in 2 adults and 1 kid. However there were insufficient room for us to open our luggage. We had to open the luggage one after one to take out our clothes. No drinking water was provided hence we had to buy from convenience store and carried back to hotel. Good thing is Tesco is only opposite the underground station. Wish to suggest to provide adequate trainings to front desk staff. When we checked in we were informed that our booking was canceled. (I have fully paid for the room upon booking) I showed to the staff the booking details but she still insisted our booking has been canceled, instead she asked me to call to the agent and get the agent to contact the hotel. I had no choice but to “follow her instructions” to do so. After 10 min trying to contact the agent (due to different time zone), the front desk staff called me “madam” many times from her counter (it was about 300m away and I was not aware that she was calling me), and told me that she has found my booking. When I asked the reason why initially the booking was canceled but now it was found, she did not answer me but to pass me the room key. After checked in to the room, noticed that both the lamps near the bed were not functioning and we called to front desk (only 1 light in front of the washroom was working). We were informed that the one who is able to fix it has left and we had to wait till the next morning to get the lamps fixed. Eventually they sent us a table lamp for that night.

I used to use this hostel back when it was under YHA management. I’ve always picked it for its close proximity to Euston and King’s Cross. This is the first time I’ve been back since it changed hands. Glad to report that the hostel is still as it was. Polite and helpful staff, modern rooms with beds that have individual lights and charging sockets, lockers for valuables, clean and well kept bathrooms, a bar area downstairs to eat and have drinks if you desire. I stayed in a 6-bed female only dorm and was happy with my stay. Bed was comfortable, my items were safe (locks can be purchased behind the reception for £4), and the sockets can charge multiple devices with the dual USB sockets + a regular 3-pronged socket. Will advise that you turn the main room light off when you want go to sleep as my co-inhibitors left the main light on all night on my last night for some reason. The one area they could improve on was having another pillow on the beds. Mine was so used that it was mostly flat and made very little difference to my comfort.

Very pleasantly surprised with this place! It’s huge, very well kept (room wise), very clean in the en suite showers etc. slept very well. It is super busy, especially during the check out times. The only negative I can say is that when I came at night to check in, they didn’t have enough keycards to give me one, so they walked me to the room and let me in. This wasn’t a big deal but just a silly oversight to not have enough key cards for your rooms. Aside from this, staff were very good and easy to deal with.

Bermonds Locke is the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. Would highly recommend for anyone getting on it. Holly is an absolute gem and she will sort you right out. Holly is pictured. Great value for money. Love a bath when I wake up in this hotel.

Seamless check in and check out. The hotel itself was clean, tidy and staff were informative at any point of the day. The bedroom (we stayed in a queen room) was spacious and offered amenities such as tea and coffee, iron and ironing board. The hotel was located next to Tower Hill tube station, and offered plenty of places to eat and drink surrounding the hotel. A little gem, the hotel has a roof top bar, this was a lively surprise.

I stayed for 1 night recently at wombats on dock st. The hostel is perfectly located close to two underground stations and in central london. The hostel itself is very modern, clean and spacious. The manager zsuzska and staff at wombats are kind and friendly. The check in process was quick and the breakfast was a bargain at £4.90. The room itself was perfect and i slept very well in the comfy bed. I would highly recommend wombats to anyone travelling to london. Thank you zsuzska and wombats for a perfect stay. Dave

Stayed for a night and got an amazing room! Very spacious and comfortable, im extremely grateful! Definitely will be back! Complete amenities and a great view too! The shower was lovely, fully functional and detachable. I had a massive view, and a double bed. Breakfast was an option but and seemed lovely but I didn’t try it as I was there briefly.
