The City View Hotel London may not scream style or personality upon first glance, but given its budget prices, convenient location and helpful staff it proves to be a good value choice for those seeking a cheap hotel in London. The hotel is situated in Bethnal Green, an up-and-coming part of East London that is a 5 minute tube ride or 20 minute walk from the vibrant Liverpool Street area with its many shops, restaurants and bars. Trendy Shoreditch and Dalston are also within easy reach, and guests who are travelling into the capital on business can get to the financial hub of Canary Wharf within a short time frame. Specific nearby attractions include the Children's Museum and York Hall, both offering a diverting afternoon out in the city.
The decor inside the City View Hotel London is somewhat old-fashioned and unassuming, but nonetheless the hotel has a bright and clean atmosphere that makes it a more than adequate base from which to explore the city. There are 32 rooms in total available as a single, double or twin, and there is also a choice of ensuite or shared bathroom facilities for the budget-conscious. Whilst the design of each room is extremely basic, this is made up for by a surprisingly broad range of in-room amenities including WiFi access, television with DVD player, tea and coffee maker and hairdryer. A few rooms even have air conditioning, although in London this is hardly a necessity!
Outside of each bedroom the facilities are not extensive, although guests can expect 24 hour service from the friendly reception staff who can provide luggage storage, laundry service and the use of the hotel safe. WiFi access is available throughout the building, there are a few conference facilities for guests arriving on business and there is a television lounge for when you just want to kick back and relax.
Nearest station is Bethnal Green (Central).
