4 days and nights around London area

After we complete our RS tour in Vienna, we're heading back to London and we're looking for suggestions on where to stay with that short amount of time. We plan to explore with the Underground, but are looking for the best suggestions for a home base. Prefer something with local charm, not chains. Thank you!

So interpreting your statement you want a place to stay in London that is not a chain like Premiere Inns.
Not knowing your budget here are some options:

Jesmond Dene Hotel
At Home in Chelsea
Charlotte Guesthouse
Lime Tree Hotel

Thanks - our budget is around 150 - 175 Euros

  • our budget is around 150 - 175 Euros

We don’t, and never have, used Euros in the U.K. The top end of your budget is £150, which should be okay for a cheap hotel in London.

In addition to above, look at Arosfa Hotel in Gower Street.

As mentioned, that is very much the low end of the price range, so rooms will be very small and the hotels basic. That said, you will find charm! Many hotels in this range are converted Victorian terraces.

Here are a few of our regular favourites:
Mitre Court (Paddington)
Brunel Hotel (Paddington)
The Kingsley (Holborn) - a bit more expensive but good value overall

They're all good hotels, excellent locations with good service, but be aware that they are by no means luxurious. You will find many other options in Paddington and Bayswater particularly.
