Fodor's Expert Review The Ridgemount Hotel
65--67 Gower St., London, Greater London, WC1E 6HJ, England
Mere blocks from the British Museum and London's West End theaters, this handsomely fronted guesthouse has clean, neat, and plainly decorated rooms at bargain rates. The public areas are simple but welcoming, and residents have access to a quiet, secluded garden out back. Breakfasts are filling although choices are limited. An interesting historical note: No. 67 was once the home of Elizabeth Stride, who later moved to the East End and fell victim to Jack the Ripper.
PROS
- free Wi-Fi
- helpful staff
- family rooms (accommodating up to five) are excellent value
CONS
