The two-pearl Abercorn House is located in Hammersmith, which is quite far from the main attractions of London, but well-placed next to public transportation and Westfield Shopping Centre. This budget choice is popular with backpackers as the 30 rooms provide bedding, towels, mini-fridges, and closets. Both private and dorm rooms lack air-conditioning, and they have thin walls and bothersome noise. The amenities are limited to a 24-hour cafe, laundry room, patio, communal kitchens, and (for a fee) public computers. Surprisingly, breakfast is not available and Wi-Fi costs extra. Travel Joy Hostels Chelsea might be a better option as it provides freebies like breakfast, Wi-Fi, and walking tours -- as well as has a hip bar attached to the hostel -- though rates are slightly higher.

The 134-room Premier Inn London Wimbledon South is a mid-range, chain hotel with stylish, comfortable, and modern facilities, if not somewhat generic decor. The location isn’t ideal for exploring the sights of London, but the tube station is an eight-minute walk from the hotel, and guests can get into the city center in a half hour. Tennis fans will also find they're an 11-minute drive from Wimbledon. Rooms are well-maintained and spacious, especially compared to city hotels. They feature king-size beds, 40-inch TVs, and AC, but don’t have mini-fridges, and some guests complain the free Wi-Fi is slow. On the other hand, guests find the on-site restaurant and bar well-priced and satisfying, but breakfast costs an extra charge.

The Qbic Hotel London City is a quirky mid-range hotel that prides itself on its cleanliness, comfy beds, and trendy style. It's situated in East London, slightly outside of the tourist center of the city, but near Brick Lane and the tube. Rooms are built around a minimalist modular design, but are stylish and fun with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and even nice rainfall showers -- but open wardrobes and lack of amenities (no mini-fridges, no windows in some rooms) keep it firmly in the three-pearl category.

By comparison, the nearby Arbor City Hotel offers more in-room amenities, but can be pricier.
