The 250-room Chelsea Cloisters is an upper-mid-range serviced apartment property with a polished, contemporary design. Modern units have fully equipped kitchens, washer/dryers, large windows, and tile bathrooms and daily housekeeping is included in room rates. However, some units get loud exterior noise and have worn furnishings. All of the on-site restaurants and bars receive good reviews, and there is a hair salon on the property. However, there's a daily fee for Wi-Fi and parking in the on-site underground lot costs extra. As an alternative, the Hotel Indigo London-Paddington presents a more fashion-forward option, though rates tend to be higher.

King's Cross is an international transport hub and hotspot for value hotels, and the 66-room, family-run Wardonia is one of its better options. While certainly not fancy, rooms have classy decor, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and tea- and coffee-making facilities that put it a step above the average budget property. It doesn't have much in the way of amenities aside from a lobby area with seating and free maps, but its central location just minutes from King's Cross St. Pancras station makes it hard to beat. Note that there's no elevator for its five floors, and past guests have complained of noise issues and poor cell service in basement rooms. It's worth comparing rates with the nearby Alhambra, which offers a free breakfast.

The Blakes Hotel is a five-pearl boutique property designed by actress-turned-designer Anouska Hempel. Located in residential South Kensington and known for both its opulence and discretion, it draws famous clientele and those looking for a quiet respite.

The 47 rooms vary in size and style, but all are intricately designed and include free Wi-Fi, Bang & Olufsen electronics, and desks. However, some of the smaller units feel cramped. On-site amenities include a full restaurant, a bar, an outdoor courtyard, and a fitness center. Travelers looking for more of a historic luxury property could try the Bentley London.

Not your typical chain hotel, the mid-range Best Western Mornington Hotel has the aesthetic of a stylish boutique hotel with the amenities of a major chain. Well-located directly across from Hyde Park, near Lancaster Gate, it puts guests within easy reach of most of London's major sights via the tube. Rooms are small and the historic building means that space in general is quite compact, but the free breakfast buffet is plentiful, there's a cozy library bar, and prices are reasonable when compared with other similar hotels in central London.

This is a centrally located, mid-range chain hotel in London’s West End near the Piccadilly Tube line. Guests are a two-minute walk from the National Portrait Gallery and four-minutes' walk from the Apollo Theatre. 112 guest rooms are modern and pristine, but tiny. Perks include free Wi-Fi, Sky TV, and in-room coffee- and tea-making facilities -- though some rooms don't have windows. Z Cafe sells gourmet coffees and snacks throughout the day, and free wine and cheese are served in the evenings. For a mid-range and stylish urban stay, Hotel Z Piccadilly is notably cheaper than the nearby Thistle Piccadilly Hotel, which is more spacious but somewhat dated.

The 31-room Langorf Hotel is a mid-range property located in London’s Hampstead Village. Traditionally decorated interiors could use an update (think patterned wallpaper and carpets in peaches-and-cream hues), but the spaces are pleasant and cheerful, with a sunlit lobby lounge and a small breakfast room and bar. Rooms are small and simply furnished in blue-and-cream hues, and come with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and free Wi-Fi. The property is about 20 minutes away from London’s center, and guests seeking a more central location might want to consider the Days Hotel London-Waterloo or the Mad Hatter Hotel.

The 26-room Hotel 55 is a modern boutique hotel with artistic decor. Located in a townhouse in Ealing -- a residential suburb of West London -- the hotel isn't ideal for visiting the sights. However, it's a pleasant mid-range place to stay, with beautiful paintings and modern sculpture in the common areas and a quiet garden out back. Rooms vary in size, but most are in good condition save for some nicks and scrapes. The Japanese restaurant on the ground floor is popular, but the continental breakfast is less than impressive and isn't included in room rates.
