The hype
A solid, slightly dated 4-star hotel with incredibly friendly staff and a breakfast spread that punches way above its weight class.
Danubius Regents Park
$150-250/ notte
Prenota se You want a comfortable, eco-certified base with an exceptional breakfast near Lord's Cricket Ground and Regent's Park, away from the chaotic center.
Perché piace così tanto
- Phenomenal breakfast buffet with huge variety, including smoothies and hot cross buns
- Spacious, clean rooms with soundproof windows
- Prime location directly opposite Lord's Cricket Ground
In sintesi: Don't let the gloomy 1960s Brutalist concrete bunker exterior fool you; inside is a glossy, welcoming haven with one of the best hotel breakfasts in London.
Recensito da @TheWonderingEnglishman: I stayed at the Danubius Hotel and it's a super practical base for London. The rooms are a bit dated, but the beds are comfy and the location near Regent's Park is spot on. It's a solid choice if you're out exploring all day.
