Planning a trip to London or traveling for work in the surrounding areas? In this honest hotel review and comparison, I break down my experiences at three very different hotels during a week-long trip to England in June 2025:
🏨 Strand Palace Hotel – 372 Strand, London
✔️ Prime central location near Covent Garden and West End
❌ Odd bathroom setup, expensive for the value
🛏️ Clean and convenient, but not quite full luxury
🏨 DoubleTree by Hilton – Woking, England
✔️ Budget-friendly and decently clean
❌ Located far from attractions, limited charm
🥱 Best for work travel or a quick overnight
🏨 Hotel Indigo – 1 Leicester Square, London
✔️ Stylish, vibrant location in the heart of London nightlife
📍 Steps from theatres, dining, and iconic landmarks
💤 A fun final night stay with energy and flair
I compare price, cleanliness, amenities, and proximity to tourist attractions and transit options to help you decide where to stay — whether you’re in London for leisure or heading out to Woking for business.
