The included Full English Breakfast was fantastic. My room was very small but still sufficient, and with everything I needed. I found all the staff very extremely friendly. While it was nothing spectacular and I did find a ladybug on my pillow, it was overall a good stay.

Great place if you just want a room. Small room and property was quite clean and everything worked. The check-in process was super easy and staff was very friendly. I got exactly what I paid for in a great neighborhood close to the train station, university, British Museum and a ton of shopping and restaurants. The room I got was great for a short stay. Would definitely look at larger room sizes if you were going to be in town more than two days.

The staff were very helpful and the room was clean. The hotel is in a good location for Euston and central London. The hotel could do with refurbishment as it does look tired and old fashioned, but other than that it was fine for what we needed.

Lovely little Hotel. Very friendly and courteous staff, exceptionally clean. Great breakfast! My only reason for not giving 5 stars is because the bed was too hard! I would definitely recommend and will use them again.

Pros: Hotel was situated in an area which felt safe and was surprisingly quiet. Our room was clean and had convenient shelving which we used to keep our luggage organized. The bathroom was well lit and the shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Very easy walking to a Tesco express, Starbucks, Chipotle, Goodge Street station and bus stops. And while the major attractions aren’t super close, they are walkable if necessary (we ended up walking back to the hotel from Westminster one evening after waiting for a bus that never came). It was wonderful to find a room in London which fit our family of five on a budget. Staff was very friendly and were there to open the front door for us to check in after 11PM when we arrived later than expected due to train difficulties. Cons: Really can’t think of any. Overall, we would recommend the Ridgemount Hotel to any family on a budget looking to visit London.

Lovely stay for night in London

Had a 1 night stay with family, stayed in room B3 slept 5 people, room was lovely it looks like it has recently been refurbished. Breakfast was what you would expect for the low cost of the hotel. Staff were accommodating to request for additional toast for the children.
