The K+K Hotel George, a sophisticated, upscale hotel tucked inside a classic townhouse, offers smart, tasteful interior design and close proximity to the Earl's Court tube station. The 154-room property feels intimate, and offers a charming private garden with plenty of roaming space, a location on a quiet side street in Kensington, and bright, homey rooms. It may be worth comparing rates with the nearby Hotel Indigo, however, which is arguably a bit more stylish.

The 282-room Royal Horseguards offers classic Victorian architecture and modern amenities in a five-star luxury setting with views of the London Eye and the Thames River.

The hotel, with a horse guards theme throughout, connects to One Whitehall Place, the palatial meeting and events space.

This 330-room hotel is located close to many of the major tube and rail stations in central London, and offers luxury rooms at a reasonable rate. The Steak & Lobster restaurant is popular and stylish, the gym has modern equipment, and there are 11 different conference rooms for business travelers. The most notable downside of the Grafton is the small rooms, which are in need of better sound protection from exterior street noise.

Trendy and hip, this hotel is best suited for young travelers who seek cool spaces (and don't mind if they're small). Expect a unique personality and delightful design quirks -- but take that with very small rooms that have somewhat see-through bathrooms. If you’re looking for good value rates, a hipster vibe, and one of the most central locations in London, this is a solid pick. There's a cute on-site cafe and freebies like Wi-Fi and wine receptions, but there's no gym or business center.

The Xenia Hotel couples an upscale atmosphere with cleverly eccentric interior design in London's leafy, west-central Kensington district. Public areas, such as a cozy cigar and liquor lounge, and homey basement game room, provide superb spaces for relaxation. Rooms are on the small side but provide such touches as cashmere blankets, as well as an array of high-tech amenities. Also check out the nearby Hotel Indigo at about the same price point.

The Rhodes Avenue Homestay is every inch the suburban London home, and that's often why people stay -- to experience an authentic slice of typical English life. The hosts' warm welcome is another reason why many people return to this budget-friendly B&B -- together with cozy, tastefully finished rooms and a delicious breakfast. The location is far from ideal for exploring the city center, and local transport links aren't great, but rates at this B&B are pretty average for an experience that is a cut above. If you're looking to stay in London's center on a budget, check rates at Tune Hotel - Liverpool Street -- but expect to get nickel-and-dimed for everything from breakfast to towels.

This small, family-run property is a step above your typical budget-friendly hotel. It offers 12 clean studios and apartments with contemporary decor, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and fully-equipped kitchenettes, at a fraction of the price of central London hotels. There are no common areas, and it is not within walking distance of any major attractions, but there are four tube lines within a three-minute walk, making it a convenient base for exploring the city. Just note that two of the rooms share a bathroom, and that guests staying on the top floors will have to climb a couple of steep, narrow flights of stairs.

This chain hotel veers little from the Radisson mold, with polished though slightly characterless public spaces dotted with Asian decorative flourishes. Location is the main selling point -- bang in the heart of London's busiest shopping area, though tucked away on a relatively quiet street. Rooms are smart yet cozy, with ample amenities, though some are tiny and suffer from a little street noise. The on-site restaurant has a good reputation, though local dining opportunities also abound. However, if an upscale chain isn't what you're after, try the nearby Moncalm -- a similar price, a bit more character, and also just off Oxford Street's buzz and bustle.
