My experience using misterb&b in London dates back a long way. As a travel editor who’s clocked more Pride parades and press trips than I can count—and who’s partnered with misterb&b for years—I’ve slept in everything from penthouse suites to pint-sized hostels across the globe. London is one city I keep revisiting because its queer-friendly hospitality, cheeky humour, and around-the-clock nightlife never disappoint. 🏳️🌈✈️
Top 3 Gay & Gay-Friendly Hotels in London
The Z Hotel Soho
I stayed at this stylish micro-hotel right in the middle of Theatreland, trading square footage for an unbeatable location. Expect compact rooms with innovative design, a complimentary evening wine and cheese spread, and buzzy streets packed with queer bars just steps away.
“My stay was great and the staff is very friendly! It’s located in the center of everything and the tube goes directly from Heathrow to Leicester Square, and the hotel is only a 5 minute walk away.”

St Giles London
I had the chance to test the Classic Double and loved how the hotel nails that “affordable-yet-amenity-rich” balance. A short stroll puts you in Soho, Oxford Street, and Chinatown; plus there’s a gym and a 25-metre pool—rare at this price point.
“Classic Double Room - A good place for its value, easy accessible to places via Tottenham Court station underground station as well as walkable distance to Soho and China Town area.”

Generator London
I stayed at this design-forward, gay-friendly hostel in London when I needed a social vibe and a smaller budget. Private rooms are available if bunks aren’t your thing, and the on-site bar is reliably lively for pre-drinks before a Dalston club night.
“Nice place if you want to travel with friends or even family. For traveling alone, the experience would depend on whom you’re sharing the room with. I’ll go again but I’d look for a private room for sure. Excellent price considering was London.”

Hunting for a gay hotel in London that mixes style, location, and a heartfelt LGBTQ+ welcome? Trust me—this city delivers. From Soho’s cobbled lanes to Canary Wharf’s glassy skyline, the capital overflows with gay friendly hotels in London eager to greet you—cheeky G&T included. Whether it’s visit number one or fifteen, every borough serves something fabulous, and the queer accommodation scene is no exception.
Plenty of queer travellers anchor themselves around Soho, London’s ever-buzzing rainbow heart. Here you’ll find everything from sleek, minimalist pads to classic charmers that feel straight out of a period drama. Craving extra flair?

Staying at a Gay Hotel in London: Lodging for Every Style
London’s patchwork of neighbourhoods means there’s always a stay to match your vibe. Want to meet folks from every corner of the globe? Grab a bunk at a social gay hostel in London around King’s Cross. It’s a playground for solo travellers or extroverts who bond over breakfast or pre-drinks. Need some hush? A quaint gay lodge by Hampstead Heath offers leafy views and privacy—and, if you’re so inclined, certain legendary cruising spots are minutes away.
Of course, there’s also the decadent side of town. London’s luxury gay hotels scene genuinely has no rival. Picture rooftop pools in Mayfair, Chelsea spa suites, and 24-hour room service keeping champagne on ice. The Mondrian Shoreditch, Rosewood London, and The Langham headline the list for travellers upgrading their gaycation. For something even more exclusive, try a gay resort London-style address in Canary Wharf—skyline panoramas plus five-star pampering and the occasional men-only hotel London sauna night thrown in for good measure. 💅
Explore London Between Check-ins at Your Gay Hotels
Even if your room feels too plush to abandon, London itself insists you step outside. Spend the morning wandering the Tate Modern or the Victoria & Albert, then pivot to Camden Market or Columbia Road Flower Market for that frame-worthy shot. When night falls, catch drag in Soho, sip mixology magic in Dalston, or dance till dawn in Vauxhall.
Remember: most LGBT hotel London options employ concierges who steer you far beyond the tourist clichés. Ask for LGBTQ+ event information, tips on queer-owned businesses, or simply directions to the best 2 a.m. fish and chips.
