BnBNova – Holborn & Central London with Patio
First Impressions
Tucked away on a quiet side street in Holborn, BnBNova – Holborn & Central London with Patio honestly surprised me from the moment I walked up. It’s one of those places that doesn’t scream for attention — you know, no flashy signage or grand entrance — but that’s actually part of its charm. The building itself has that classic London townhouse feel, and when you realize there’s a proper patio space attached, well, that’s when you know you’ve found something a bit special for London.
Location & Getting Around
Cursitor Street is brilliant if you want to be central without the madness of Oxford Street or Covent Garden crushing down on you. I mean, you’re literally a five-minute walk from Chancery Lane tube station, and honestly, everything just opens up from there. The British Museum? Ten minutes on foot. Covent Garden’s theaters and restaurant scene? Same distance. What I really love is how you can slip down these quieter streets and suddenly emerge onto busy Holborn or High Holborn — it’s like having a secret base in the middle of everything.
The Space Itself
This four-star spot really delivers on the promise of that patio — and trust me, outdoor space in central London is gold. The apartment setup means you’re not dealing with tiny hotel boxes, and there’s actually a proper kitchen where you can sort yourself out with breakfast or evening snacks. The room I stayed in had good natural light (not always a given in London), and the furnishings struck that sweet spot between modern comfort and not trying too hard to be trendy.
What Works Day to Day
Look, the 7.3 rating tells you this isn’t perfection, but it’s solid in all the ways that actually matter when you’re staying somewhere. The patio becomes your little sanctuary — perfect for morning coffee or winding down after a day of museums and walking. There’s parking available too, which anyone who’s tried to drive in central London will appreciate. The whole setup just feels more like staying in someone’s well-appointed flat rather than a standard hotel, and sometimes that’s exactly what you want.
Why Guests Love It
What keeps drawing people back is that combination of genuine central London location with actual breathing room — literally and figuratively. You’re not paying West End hotel prices, but you’re still within walking distance of everything that matters. The patio alone sets it apart from most accommodation options in this part of town, and having kitchen facilities means you can save money on meals when London’s restaurant prices start adding up. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re living in London rather than just visiting it.
Savvy travelers reserve a hotel in London before spring brings blossom-lined parks, pop-up exhibitions, and warm evening strolls.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
