mashimaro: Any good hotels to recommend in London?
I am planning on going to London for vacation in the summer and am searching for a good and fairly priced hotel to stay at. I would like to be located in central London so it would be easier to get to the major tourist attractions and sightseeing places. I don’t need a fancy 5 star hotel, just something that is clean and in a relatively safe neighbourhood. I know there are many hotels in the Kensington and Hyde Park area, but I am not sure how close they are walking distance to Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Tower of London, etc. Any suggestions would be very helpful, thanks!
