I had a pleasant stay here. a little out of central london for my liking, but transport links are very good. the hotel staff were a little 'cold' and not very engaging. but i couldnt fault the hotel accomodation at all. we had a lovely big room, all the basic facilities and we overlooked the railway line but were not... more

Located in the financial district. Myself and a colleague stayed at this hotel whilst on a course in London on the 26th June. The hotel was immaculate, the rooms were nice, the toilet (altough a little on the small side) was more than adequate and tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable and the in room facilities were excellent. Also plenty... more

Located in the City of London's financial district, this hotel offers a very clean and comfortable stay for a very reasonable price. If you are looking for grand accommodations, you will have to look elsewhere - however, there is no such hotel in the City of London either. Very friendly and helpful staff. Newer furnishings, nice sized and efficient rooms... more

This hotel is near to the tower of London. It is a 5 minute walk from the Tower Hill underground station. The "city" is not very attractive and does not offer much to do. There was a nice pub on the corner and the lounge at the hotel was reasonable and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and the room... more

I stayed here for 3 nights in April 08 and thought it was a great hotel and will definitely stay again. I got a pretty good deal ($130/night CDN) and my room was very clean and spacious. We did have a room in the basement which at first i thought was odd and a little nervous about, but it was... more

Just returned from this hotel after spending 4 nights seeing the sights of London. Booked the hotel after reading the reviews off tripadvisor. Yes there is a building site across the road, and yes there is a rail track behind the hotel which was over looked from our room on the 5th floor. But neither of these bothered us on... more

Based on the positive reviews I read here I decided to give a try to this hotel and booked a twin room on hotels.com. The price I was quoted was very promising, knowing also the prices of similar ** and *** hotels in London. I stayed there 3 nights in a nice twin room on the 5th floor, high above... more

My wife and I just returned from our trip to London and have mixed reviews for Purple Hotel City of London. First, the best thing that this hotel has going for it is its customer service. The people at the front desk were always friendly, which is a bonus. However, the friendly front desk is not enough to get me... more

Stayed for three nights over a weekend. I had stayed previously when the hotel was under different management and a different name and had a good experience then. However I was less than impressed this time. Reception was 'charming'. 'You've paid in advance but I need your credit card...' Response to my prompt that I had requested a room on... more
