Really no need to re-post. Having London in your title would have been nice, but the UK tag is good enough.
But what isn't good enough is the rest of your post.
4 what -- adults? parents and 2 toddlers? 2 adults a toddler and an 18 yo? What? This makes a big difference (for instance some budget hotels like Premier Inn will allow 2 adults and 2 young children to share, but not 2 adults and 16 and 17 yo's)
Also what is your budget?
How long will you be in London?
Anything helps . . . .

While we are waiting for more info.......
London (and most European hotels) have small rooms and usually either 2 twin beds or a double bed (yes, the old fashioned double). Some of the American chain hotels MAY have 2 doubles. Some advertise king beds but if you ask them for measurements, you find that a European king is more like an American queen and that is about as much bed as the room has space for. I have seldom had a European room that could handle 4 adult size people. (I really can't ever remember one, but felt I should hedge a bit in case someone else has.) You may well find yourselves needing 2 rooms. You might also consider an apartment through someone like VRBO.com.

"<i>in the center a 3 star hotel is ok...</i>"
Not being stubborn here -- we really do need to know your budget. 3 star does not say anything about room rates. How much do you want to pay per night?
There are thousands (no exaggeration) of places to stay in central London

We really can't plan your trip for you because we aren't you and may not have the same interests. We can <i>help</i> you refine your own plan/itinerary -- but you have to start w/ at least some basic ideas.
Start by clicking on DESTINATIONS at the top of this page and read what Fodors suggests for a short visit. Then do a search on the forum-- there are just TONS of threads about London. That will get you started.
Then talk it over w/ your family- what do they want to see/do. Then we can help you priortize things.
