Hotels near Old Bailey, London

Pros: The reception staff are great, especially Sree and Sunday, and solved problems effectively and efficiently. Location is great especially for users of Elizabeth Line to and from Heathrow. Various choices of room size. Hotel is new and clean. Cons: No electric kettle in room. You need to go down to ground floor to get hot water from the coffee machine. Water is free but not the coffee. I booked a First Class Room, but the system gave me one on the first floor with no windows. I put up with it for the first 2 days as I was busy. Later had to change room. First class room is roomy, but other rooms are on the small side.

nice and clean. very convenient for public transport, the bus stop is just in front of the entrance of the hotel.

This is a good hotel if you're looking for a more economical stay with a good breakfast. We had a great check in experience where we had arrived early and had a short wait for an early check in. The staff were very good here helping us find a table each morning for breakfast, made an ice pack for my wife's sore foot and they have a fridge to store food items behind the front desk. The location was pretty good and it was a short walk to popular attractions like Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, and Burough Market. There were a few restaurants nearby and we enjoyed grabbing quick bites at many of the nearby shops including Tesco, Sainsbury's and Amazon Fresh. There are lots of hotels in the area as well. The hotel is located about a 7 minute walk from Blackfriars station which offers Thameslink Service to Gatwick Airport and connects easily to the Elizabeth Line to go to Heathrow. It is within a 15 minute walk to Waterloo and Southwark stations and there are busses that go through the area too so it makes the city very accessible. It is worth checking out the train schedule because some trains go every 20-30 minutes instead of the frequency north of the Thames. The room was nicely appointed with a comfy bed, four pillows, a small work space, a small wardrobe, tea station, large television, and some shelving to store our things. We were transiting through London and had brought three large suitcases with us and there was plenty of space for those. The hotel is located in a quieter area and the air conditioning is very strong so we enjoyed each night's sleep. There were signs posted that they were undergoing some maintenance work during our stay in August 2025 so it was very noisy after 9:30 am in the hotel. This is a temporary issue. We felt that the housekeeping could improve because we were provided with dirty hand towels a couple of times and they did not vacuum the floor at the entrance of the room. The wifi was good and if you've set up an IHG account before you can quickly and easily log in but we found that we had to reconnect each night. The bathroom was pretty good with a nice new and clean shower. The shower was very good each night with an adjustable head, eco setting, good temperature control and tight seals to keep the water in. They have unique shampoo and body wash that are kale and parsley scented. There isn't much room to hang wet towels in the bathroom but they do have hooks in the bedroom that we used. The breakfast was good and we were happy it was included in our stay. They had all the fixings for an English breakfast with particularly good sausages and rashes of bacon. They also had yoghurt, fruit, cheese and some cereal for a lighter breakfast. The coffee machine was good for made to order options and there was a good selection of tea. You can make yourself a go bag as well and they will let you take food too. If you have dietary restrictions you can let the front desk know when you check in and they will accommodate. We had a good stay here and it fit our itinerary. Picking a hotel in London can be tricky but the price, location, and room were right for us.

Room was spacious and big enough for one. There’s a table and sofa in the room, ideal if you need to get some work done. It was a clean and comfortable stay. Location is great as well, next to St Paul’s Cathedral and short 2-3mins walk to St Paul’s station.

Everything was great, as always! It’s not my first time staying here, and I keep coming back for a reason. The room, bed, and pillows are super comfy, the staff are excellent and always do their best to accommodate requests when possible. Great breakfast and an overall lovely stay — highly recommend!

Excellent stay in a great location. Able to get around easily on foot and underground.

Good location and very silence. It was very nice.

Good location, near the train station. It's close to the river which is very nice.

An Absolutely Exceptional Stay in the Heart of London! Our stay at Hyde London City was nothing short of exceptional, and we completely agree with all the glowing reviews – this hotel is a true gem! The location is simply unbeatable, right in the vibrant City of London, making it incredibly convenient for exploring St. Paul's Cathedral, hopping on the City Thameslink, and accessing all the capital has to offer. The hotel's design is absolutely stunning, perfectly blending historic charm with modern, stylish, and vibrant touches – it truly creates a unique and inviting atmosphere. What really made our experience stand out was the outstanding staff and service. Every team member we encountered was incredibly friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The cleanliness throughout the hotel was impeccable, and our room was wonderfully comfortable, providing a quiet and restful haven after busy days. The amenities were also excellent, contributing to a seamless visit. I would just note that the bathroom doors, while stylish, don't allow for complete privacy. This wasn't an issue for me as a solo traveler, but it's something couples might want to be aware of. However, this is a minor detail that absolutely did not detract from our overwhelmingly positive experience. We had a truly fantastic time and would wholeheartedly recommend Hyde London City for anyone looking for a stylish, comfortable, and perfectly located base in London!
