The Ridgemount Hotel

My review is based on this hotel being 2.5 * I checked lots of reviews for hotels in this area - we wanted to be able to walk to the Shaftesbury theatre and Hudson House restaurant and this hotel ticked the boxes :) I was aware of the 4 floors & no lifts - so it wouldn’t be suitable for some ppl. (we were in Room 12 top floor -there’s 32 rooms) Check-in was easy and swift with a friendly receptionist. Breakfast room is on basement level which has windows and is clean and light. With tea/coffee & orange juice - choice of cereals then English of egg,bacon,sausage,hash brown & b.beans with toast & jams Table served 7am-9am (we stayed 1 weekday night) Lovely to have a tasty breakfast in with the nightly rate. There’s also a free drinks machine in the lounge for tea, coffee, chocolate & Bovril. Our room appeared newly renovated (I meant to ask if all the rooms had) Sparsely furnished but clean/fresh. Just a large bed with white crisp linen (also a single bed) - open shelved cupboard with hangers-hairdryer - bedside tables and a shelf & chair, that could be used as a dressing table, if a mirror was fixed on the wall. En-suite was immaculate, again newly renovated with good hot shower. We slept well and it was very quiet. The staff are friendly & helpful and even lent us an umbrella :) Would definitely use this hotel again.

Everything you need for business, comfortable room, wi-fi, friendly service, great location, all good.

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.
