London is the world’s most visited destination, so it’s no wonder it has over 123,000 hotel rooms, not to mention short-term rental apartments, student dorms in the summer, and hostels. Choosing the right one at the right price can be challenging. Over the past 40 years or so, I’ve stayed in over 100 London hotels, from grotty bed-and-breakfasts near Paddington Station to the Savoy and Claridge’s, and I’ve never seen a city with so much variety. New York City doesn’t even come close.
Price and location are the two most important criteria for some people, but as long as you’re willing to use London’s excellent public transportation system, I’ve found that it really doesn’t matter what part of the city you settle down in. The real problem with London is that it’s so popular that in many peak seasons, hotels are just too expensive.
