Hotels in london

Hi all, so we have decided to go stay in Central London for 3 nights. We don't do things like this very often but we need a much needed break. We have 4 kids aged 8,6,4 and 2. So we need a nice hotel that can accommodate 2 adjoining rooms but I just can't find a nice one that isn't sky rocketing fortune or an apartment or a hostel style (if that's the correct term) can anyone recommend a nice one. We don't mind spending some but not huge amounts. With a good amount of space with a nice TV for the evenings when kids sleep.

We stayed at a Hulton hotel for 2 nights when restrictions eased last year and it was horrible. It was dirty, breakfast was shockingly sparse considering how many people where there. The bedside table collapsed on my 6 years old foot without being touched. It was in its last hinges. Air con didn't work. Lifts didn't work when we needed one and they charged a fortune to park there. They didn't seem too bothered. They didn't fix or take the broken table away or offer to move us. We complained. They offered a small compensation so, we were happy but it ruined it for us really. First time we had spent away in 8 years and we where constantly worried the kids would hurt themselves.

Sorry bit of a rant!

Can anyone recommend a hotel please?

The Pestana Chelsea Bridge is a bit further out - near Battersea Park, but a lovely hotel for a family stay. They have one and two bed family suites which are very large and should accommodate your needs.

There is also a pool at the hotel and the breakfasts are fab - my DC still talk about the pancake machine!

We stayed at the Sea Containers recently and liked it :)

Can’t comment on adjoining rooms though.

Thanks everyone. Managed to book the park plaza county in the end! They had a cancellation. Anyone been to shrek World of adventures? Would our 2 year old like it or do you think it is too dark and loud?

I heard the new premier inn at Elstree is nice and at the end of the tube line, might be more reasonable

We absolutely adore the Brook Green Hotel in Hammersmith. Location is perfect and super convenient to tourist activities etc, it’s set facing a really lovely neighbourhood with green space for the kids to safely run around but at the same time has fabulous tube connections a 5 min walk down the road. Rooms are beautifully decorated and quite spacious for London. Can honestly say it’s one of my favourite hotels we’ve ever stayed in! We will be on to our 3rd visit in the space of 2 years next month x

We stayed at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge in the summer - lots of adjoining rooms, mostly families staying there, great location and not too extortionate.

Shrek adventure is great.
Also recommend Cutty Sark.
