Set in central London, just steps from Hyde Park and within a 10-minute stroll from Kensington Palace, J Hotel London offers contemporary, spacious rooms and a spectacular lounge area overlooking the nearby street.

All colorful rooms are air-conditioned and feature free WiFi, a satellite TV, a coffee machine and a safety deposit box. Complimentary water is provided. Every morning, guests can enjoy a continental breakfast. Both Bayswater and Queensway tube stations are less than a 5 minute walk from the property, serving the Circle/District and Central lines and providing direct routes to the major tourist attractions in and around London. Paddington Station, which is located only 10 minutes away, offers a direct airport connection via the Heathrow Express.
