2-Star Hotels in London

Very good customer service and highly efficient reception team. Very good location in the high brow area of London. Amenities are kept very clean and well-managed. I forgot my laptop in the lobby after checking out, taking only the laptop charger. I had already reached Manchester when I noticed it wasn't in my laptop bag. I called the reception and they assured me that the laptop was found and kept in a safe place for me. Four days later, I came back to the hostel and picked up my laptop after they confirmed it was mine. This cannot happen in many hostels and budget stays in a big city like London. It's a big plus for them. I fully recommend staying in this hostel to anyone looking for such a clean and well-managed budget accommodation in London.

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.

It's very well located, with functional facilities, and has everything you need. It's small, but it has everything, even breakfast included. Nothing fancy, but highly recommended.

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

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.

Slight language barrier with some of the staff but they were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely with a great selection and the staff were very nice asking if we wanted something different than what was already available. All freshly cooked and tasty at a reasonable price. 24 hour reception and free parking which is a great bonus. The bed was ok just not a great placement (could only freely access from 1 side) and extra pillows would have been better as there was only 1 quite flat pillow each side. A little extra storage room would be a benefit. There was space to hang clothes and some small drawers but nowhere to put suitcases and bags so they’d be out of the way and because it was quite a small room things were sort of in the way. The bathroom was clean  but more towels would have been useful; we only had 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel so we didn’t use the shower. I struggled a little with access in the outside area between corridors as the step to get in and out was quite steep with no handrails. Our stay was short but I had no complaints or issues that affected my trip.
