The Ridgemount Hotel Review

Mere blocks away from the British Museum and London's West End theaters, this handsomely fronted guesthouse has clean, neat, and plainly decorated rooms at a bargain, and the welcoming public areas, especially the family-style breakfast room, resemble sweetly cluttered Victorian-style parlors. Breakfast (included in the price) is hearty and filling, and some room overlook a leafy garden. An interesting historical note: No. 67 was once owned by Elizabeth Stride, who later moved to the East End and fell victim to Jack the Ripper.

    My family, which is a group of 6, stayed at the Ridgemount Hotel in early June of 2010, and I must say we were very happy! To start with, the Ridgemount was one of the few hotels in London that has one room large enough to accomodate our group of 6 at a reasonable price. The hotel was well kept. The English breakfast and service at breakfast was outstanding, and the staff was lovely, helpfull, and always available. A great stay!
