This is a great, little, family-run, hotel. It's not the Ritz, but it is very comfortable, affordable, and the location is great. I love it because it's near the theatres, Soho, and transportation in and out fro the airport.
The staff is very nice and accommodating. There's breakfast everyday and coffee ALL day.
I hate to share this with you because I want it to be available when I need a room. LOL.
But, I also want them to have a constant full house.

The hotel is in a very convenient location, with many places to eat nearby as well as grocery stores within walking distance. However, the hotel itself is very old, and the rooms are extremely small.

We were placed in a basement/lower-ground-floor room, which had no windows and felt very cramped. The room was generally clean.

It is also worth mentioning that there was no air conditioning. There were two portable fans in the room, but they did not really help much, so it felt quite uncomfortable.

Breakfast was just okay and not very tasty. There was only one main option: eggs, bacon, beans, and cereals. The bacon was extremely salty.

The hotel is in a really convenient location (a few minutes' walk to the British Museum, good food, etc). Very convenient for transportation (short walk to the Elizabeth Line which takes you to the airport, Paddington, etc). The staff is extremely helpful. They give you the traditional neighborhood feel where people know each other and help each other. Down side: very simple and small room with very basic amenities (many London hotels are like this, I came to know). Overall, a very basic place but a great experience.

Very easy going staff. Small rooms and no lift but that is typical in Europe and old buildings. Beds were very comfortable, not a lot of places to plug in phones though. The breakfast was alright, it's the same every day, they take your order and have essentially an english breakfast option made fresh for you. I would probably not have it included if I stayed again just because I'd like some variety. The hot drinks/soup machine was a nice touch, especially when you get in from a rainy day of walking.

My review is based on this hotel being 2.5 *
I checked lots of reviews for hotels in this area - we wanted to be able to walk to the Shaftesbury theatre and Hudson House restaurant and this hotel ticked the boxes :)
I was aware of the 4 floors & no lifts - so it wouldn’t be suitable for some ppl. (we were in Room 12 top floor -there’s 32 rooms)
Check-in was easy and swift with a friendly receptionist. Breakfast room is on basement level which has windows and is clean and light. With tea/coffee & orange juice - choice of cereals then English of egg,bacon,sausage,hash brown & b.beans with toast & jams Table served 7am-9am (we stayed 1 weekday night)
Lovely to have a tasty breakfast in with the nightly rate. There’s also a free drinks machine in the lounge for
tea, coffee, chocolate & Bovril.
Our room appeared newly renovated (I meant to ask if all the rooms had)
Sparsely furnished but clean/fresh. Just a large bed with white crisp linen (also a single bed) - open shelved cupboard with hangers-hairdryer - bedside tables and a shelf & chair, that could be used as a dressing table, if a mirror was fixed on the wall. En-suite was immaculate, again newly renovated with good hot shower. We slept well and it was very quiet.
The staff are friendly & helpful and even lent us an umbrella :)
Would definitely use this hotel again.

Pros: Hotel was situated in an area which felt safe and was surprisingly quiet. Our room was clean and had convenient shelving which we used to keep our luggage organized. The bathroom was well lit and the shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Very easy walking to a Tesco express, Starbucks, Chipotle, Goodge Street station and bus stops. And while the major attractions aren’t super close, they are walkable if necessary (we ended up walking back to the hotel from Westminster one evening after waiting for a bus that never came). It was wonderful to find a room in London which fit our family of five on a budget. Staff was very friendly and were there to open the front door for us to check in after 11PM when we arrived later than expected due to train difficulties.

Cons: Really can’t think of any.

Overall, we would recommend the Ridgemount Hotel to any family on a budget looking to visit London.

Stayed here for a day in room 9 which is located on the second floor and is front facing. The double glazing is helpful in reducing the noise in the room. The room was unusually warm, the heating was not on and the outside temperature was 23, maybe its well insulated,the fan in the room was very helpful. The room is basic but in line with expectation and has 2 toilets and a shower room on the 2nd floor. The hosts are polite and helpful and was glad i could leave my luggage there after checkout. The breakfast was very good. Location wise it is perfect, 10 minutes walk from Euston. Bearing in mind its a 2 star hotel its a great place to stay.

I can't compare to other London hotels, but I can certainly say that the Ridgemount was a good choice and I'd happily stay there again. The decor is home, not hotel, the staff were so helpful and nice, including and especially the owner - not in your face helpful, just very accommodating, always there with an answer or help. Though there was a group of students there our second night, the walls must be thick because we couldn't hear anything from any other rooms! The free breakfast is a great start to the day, served by friendly staff again in a clean, pleasant room downstairs. The room was actually larger than I expected - we had 3 singles and a double and I expected them to be much tighter to each other than they were, there was plenty of space for us. Location wise, when we got there we dipped out to the British Museum for the afternoon which is practically on the doorstep, there's grocery shopping round the corner and plenty of restaurants on Tottenham Court Road parallel (highly recommend Franco Manca if you're in the mood for pizza, inexpensive and quality!) It's not far from a couple of tube stations and a couple of the open top bus tours, and within walking distance of Kings Cross station.

The shared bathroom is a downside of course and something to bear in mind. Only rarely were all the bathrooms occupied (be aware there's another shower and toilet on the top floor), it's not ideal but in in an old house in London there are limitations. But they were clean.

It was really cool to stay at this older property, with the rickety floors and carpet covered stairs, I felt like I was part of history. The basement had an open area for the included English Breakfast, which was so lovely. I was surprised that they had gluten free bread as an option! Staff are so friendly and helpful (helped me save money on my transit options!). The linens were crisp and the washrooms spic and span. Bed was very comfortable. Realize this is an older building so not many wall outlets. Walls and windows are a bit thin, but I'm used to living in NYC with firetrucks blaring through the night. The lounge area had more outlets, leather couches, free coffee and tea. Would come back again.
