We spent 4 nights in this hotel and had a very warm welcome, good service, all the staff very friendly and as it was our first time in London we always received great help to find our way as well as good tips.

My wife and I vacationed throughout the UK from mid May until the end of May spending 4 nights in London all of which were at the Ridgemount. To begin, lets start on a high...the location is INCREDIBLE, you are within a 10 minute walk of 3 different train stations and a bus stop is a mere 2 minute walk,... More

I stayed at the Ridgemount for two weeks. Now at home I miss the wonderful breakfast service with tasty eggs and bacon and cereal, too! I had the single room on the first landing overlooking the garden. I wondered if lobby or front door noise would be an issue but had no problems. This is an outstanding value and felt... More

I stayed three nights at this hotel having chosen it as the best value hotel in this area on Tripadvisor. Although it was on a central bus route and a relatively busy street it was quiet inside. I had a room to the rear of the building The staff were all friendly and were keen to offer advice and directions.... More

We stayed 3 nights at the Ridgemount Hotel and found it to be an excellent value. It is extremely well located - the first day we walked to Trafalger Square. The staff is extremely helpful, especially regarding directions. They gave us maps and other helpful materials to explain the nearby bus routes, which helped us to make our train on... More

The stay was not as pleasant as those great reviews led me to believe. Let me begin with the positive aspects. As most other reviews will say, the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. They asked us several times if we needed any help getting to where we wanted to go. The breakfast included with the stay was quite filling.... More

This lovely hotel was enjoyed by our son for 5 days. I get to write the review because I paid for it. Not only did he say they were very, very helpful with directions, information, recommendations and everything else for our 23 year old to manuever around London on his own but they endured my extraordinary confusion regarding me sending...

I have stayed in this hotel regularly for years and I've never had a bad experience at this place. The location is fantastic! The West End is in walking distance and you have a bus station right across the street plus several tube stations less than a 10 minute walk away. The hotel itself is basic but clean. You can...

I am in London with a good friend several times a year, and we always stay at the Ridgemount, if possible. Price and location are great: it's just a short walk to Leicester Square and conveniently located close to both Goodge Street Station and Russell Square Station and the neighborhood is safe to walk in, even late at night.

We stayed in a family room (room 31) on the top floor ... 59 steps up. We carried our heavy bags up and down and walked the stairs several times a day between trips around London. This wouldn't have been an issue had we not been at the end of our holiday with all our bags with us. This place... More
