Best Hotels near John Stephen Green Plaque, London

We weren't sure what to expect as we had never stayed in a 'pod' before but we were suitably impressed. A few minutes from Picadilly Circus tube station, it was clean and comfortable. The room was very quiet & the shower was wonderful. Good quality towels & bedding. Toiletries included. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

we love staying here .. we had a new room , staff fab, amenities great .. no fault of hotel but was so noisy all night .. even 8 floors up .. cars revving .. people shouting outside .. led to a sleepless night … but hey ho one of those things .. paid for breakfast as did not book it .. fab choice and could eat as much you liked .. no complaints … downside .. towels were very small … and our toilet seat was broken .. but nothing major and we did not bother complaining about …

Great price for a stay in London. It was a nice room too, with everything you need. Only downfall was having to pay to hold luggage.

I turned up ready to put my legs up and rest before my early morning train. I was not looking for anything special but there is basic and then there is this! I was originally put in LG5 and told to go up the stairs, along the corridor and down the stairs. I followed the instructions but, not only could I not find the room, neither could a member of staff. Another one told me to go back along the corridor, up some stairs and down some stairs. I got to the staircase at the end of the corridor and it was blocked by piles of laundry and laundry bags! I went back to the reception desk and explained that neither myself nor staff could find the room. He agreed to give me a different one (a nicer one he said!) and said to go up the stairs and the room was on the right. He didn’t, however, give me a room number. I then started trying to get into the room on the right, then the next room on the right, then the next room on the right before I came up and went back to reception once again! He told me my room number and off I went again. I opened the room door to find a bed with no pillows or duvet and no bigger than a cupboard. I shut the door and headed back to the reception. I explained that I was not staying in that room and before I could explain why, he asked, “is it not clean?!” I explained that not only was it not clean, there were no facilities. He then snapped, “so, you just want to cancel this booking? Fine!” The carpets in the corridors were filthy, the staff couldn’t care less if they tried and the room was beyond basic. I left and booked the premier inn. Much better!

We stayed here for 12 nights in late September, arriving the day after the Queen's funeral. We were able to check in to room #306 immediately, being lucky that an early check-in was possible. Later in the day we saw many more people checking in, so we beat the rush, thankfully! This location is, literally by definition, and the absolute epicenter of London. Charing Cross Road and Trafalgar Square are considered the historic center of the metropolis, and this hotel is right in the middle of it, soundproofed within an inch of its life. As quiet as is possible. We had the city-view room, and it is worth the extra cost. There room isn't as small as I was led to believe, but it surprisingly lacks a table or chair, and there's no closet space, only a place to hang a few items. And there's no TV. But that's all that it is lacking. The bathroom is modern and up-to-date, and the shower is to die for. We were able to procure an iron and board when we needed them, and they were removed when we were through. Ask and it shall be possible. A shout-out to every single staff member working there - they were friendly, knowledgeable, and treated us like honored guests. They made a great stay even more fantastic! If and when I ever get back to London, I'll be here again.

Very well located offering impeccable services. The room with terrace is really amazing. Good breakfast and bar.

The Dilly was probably amazing in the 1980's and 1990's but not much has been updated since then! We stayed in a Dilly Classic room which was perfectly fine, a good size, clean with strong Wifi. The shower was powerful and there was plenty of hot water. I know some people on this site weren't impressed by the breakfast but I thought it was great. Obviously, the location is fabulous. However, I didn't feel the room was up to five-star standard. The coffee was instant and the milk small UHT cartons. There was no fridge or mini-bar (though we were in the 'cheapest' room so may be different elsewhere). The toiletries were cheap and basic (so bring your own), there was no plug by the bed to charge devices overnight and no Blu-tooth speaker which seems to be a given now in higher-end hotels. The style of the room itself was quite dated including the landline next to the toilet which I'm sure was incredibly cool in 1986 :) Overall, if this was a three-or-four-star hotel I'd give it full marks, but as it's a five-star, (and more importantly charging five-star prices), it's lacking in some areas. I believe the hotel is currently 'between owners' which makes sense, as I guess the current owners don't want to invest and are ticking along until the new ones take over. It's not dreadful by any means, but they charge a lot for what you get.

At first we were put in the lower ground - the room was dusty, very small and the window would not open. When we spoke with the manager he moved us and was very accommodating with us - it was a free upgrade which we greatly appreciated and made our trip so much more comfortable. The new room was on floor 3 with a lovely view of the gardens opposite and was very clean. The location really sold this hotel for us - close to 3 stations, great pub on the corner, lots of places to eat in Notting Hill, 10 mins walk from Portobello Rd. The breakfast was not included as advertised, but it did not look appetising to us so we opted to go out rather than pay £7 to eat at the hotel. There are limitless options.

This is a very nice hotel, in a prime location. As I was visiting for a stint in the National Archives in Kew, it was ideally placed for me between That and the super busy inner city. The rooms are small but comfortable. The whole place is squeeky clean, which was more important for me than size - I did not plan to be in the room other than for sleeping. The area is teeming with nice cafés tto grab breakfast, which I usually prefer anyway to eating at the hotel. The rooms could do well with a small fridge, even though I am not a minibar user. The staff are super nice and helpful, I really felt welcome.

On the first day, I arranged for the basement. I requested a replacement. The next day I changed the top floor of the fourth floor. The room size is OK, but there is no small refrigerator. Very simple hotel. Not very recommended.
