2-Star Hotels in London

Great hostel with ideal location in London! Steps from two key metro stations, Hyde park and food options. It also offers picnic tables out front for an outdoor common space! The room itself was clean and the staff provide you with fresh sheets and pillow covers so you know they’ve been washed, upon check out you remove the covers and bring them to reception for washing. They also have lockers for luggage storage but you unfortunately have to pay £5 for the day.

There is a women-only area, and only guests with a key card can enter. The women-only section has two bathrooms and one room with a maximum capacity of 10 people. The bunk beds are not very sturdy, so if the person on the top bunk moves, you can feel the vibration on the bottom bunk. For this reason, I wouldn’t recommend it to light sleepers. I stayed for 8 nights and only received two towels in total—one of them only after I asked for it myself. The bathrooms were clean, and tea was available for free. There is no laundry room, so you’ll need to use the nearest laundrette. The common room has a kettle, a microwave, and a small fridge.

I stayed at Cosmos Capsule Coworking London again, for the second time, and had a pleasant experience overall like I had during my first visit. This capsule hotel offers a unique blend of accommodation and coworking space at an affordable price. Located on Hanbury Street, just an 11-minute walk from Aldgate East station, its central location makes it accessible. Just outside the hotel, at 67 Hanbury Street, is Chaii Town, a charming Chai and Coffee shop that I highly recommend. They offer a great variety of Chai flavors and pastries. I tried their Ginger Chai and Chai Latte, both of which were delicious. Their exotic pastries, like Dubai Cookies and Matcha Cookies, pair perfectly with the aromatic Chai. The owner was wonderful, and the hospitality was exceptional. The capsules are well-designed and functional, featuring ambient lighting with customizable colors—blue, pink, green, yellow, or white. Each capsule also includes a TV screen and headphones, though I didn’t use them during my stay. The capsules are not soundproof, so a good night’s rest depends on the courtesy of fellow guests. Fortunately, everyone during my stay were considerate, and I slept well. Earbuds are provided in the capsule just in case. The shared spaces, including the showers and toilets, were very clean. The shared kitchen area includes essentials like a sink, microwave, kettle, tea, and cups. One standout feature is the massage chair in the common area, which offers a good massage after a long day. There’s no traditional reception desk; instead, check-in is automated via a WhatsApp message or email with an access code. This code grants entry to the building and a small box containing your key card. While the shared spaces were immaculate, the capsules could use a bit more attention. I noticed hairs from previous guests on the blanket. Overall, Cosmos Capsule Coworking London is a good option for budget-conscious travelers who need a comfortable place to stay and work.

This hotel is very good value for money. All the reviews made me nervous about coming here for my birthday but I thought it was all clean, staff were nice, and it’s in a great location with some lovely cafes around and Camden town just a walk away. One thing is that the shower isn’t great, but that didn’t hinder my experience at all! Will definitely be staying here next time I come to London.

The local department is relatively fine, but the surrounding environment is convenient for employees to enter and exit the wired transportation.

Had the cheapest room in the basement. Very basic with indoor window only. Bathroom was tidy though, shower quite okay. Towels fresh and enough space for luggage. You could hear and feel the subway beneath, but this didn’t disturb me. Bed was clean and comfortable. Breakfast only ~5pound, great value for that money! Location fantastic, just near Paddington Station and Hyde Park.

The hotel was okay, near to public transport bus and circle line. The room and toilet floor was slippery if your foot was wet. They didn't have/provide floor mat for the toilet. No safety mat (rubber) for bath tub, very dangerous. On the 2nd day after we got back in, the towels are gone! Maybe they forget to put back after housekeeping. I had to go down to counter to get the towels. And sorry, we had to use one of the towels as floor mat. We put Do Not Disturb sign on the next day to prevent loss of towels again. The lift was so small. Only fit 2 person without luggage. The door for the lift was so heavy and it bangs loud sound when close. Suggest to stay room away from lift. Wifi is ok, but unstable connection. The heater was huge. Good.

The room was great. I’d arranged to pay at the hotel but when I arrived there was nobody there to let me in. Some other guests of the hotel let me in, but I had to phone up to make payment via a link and only then received check in instructions, so this should be made clearer! Great hotel for the price though

The hotel is ideal for a London trip. The staff is very friendly, the room was ok. It is not cleaned daily. All in all was pleasant. We're happy to come back.

Great hotel, extremely friendly staff! good location! Near the Elizabeth line and not to far from gants hill on the central line underground station with direct links into central london! Next to a beautiful park 😍 NOT to far from Westfield stratford! Extremely clean and friendly cleaners 👏
