Garden Court Hotel - London, United Kingdom 

Quite simply - London is overpriced, but this little hotel is a decent value for the budget traveler. We stayed here for four nights in early July 2008, 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Room had no AC which is not surprising in London however with a couple of days in the 80s we could have used it. The beds were very comfortable but the bathroom (especially shower) were strange add ons to the original floor plan; speaking of floor, I thought I might fall through in a few places. The location, 5 minutes walk from Bayswater station is convenient. Note that the there are many shops/restaurants/markets etc near Bayswater but it's a pretty noisy place with the occasional unsavory types walking around. Breakfast was downstairs in a fairly cramped room, limited selection but they do bring you warm toast. London is such a big place with so many options, but after doing our research and staying at the Garden Court it's probably as good a place as any in the price range.
