I’d like it to be no less than 3 star rated and cost no more than 100 GBP (ca 200 USD) per night for a couple.
Preferrably on or near Oxford rd. but any hotel near a tube station in zone 1 will do.
I don’t care particularly much about the breakfast or service level but has to be clean and quiet with comfy beds and close to a tubestation.
Hope somebody can point me out a hidden gem
The Howard Winchester Hotel.
)
In walking distance from King’s Cross Train/Tube Station (Zone 1)
It’s in a nice, clean, & quiet area with a nice little park just across the street.
Rooms are clean and comfy, not huge but it’s England so you can’t really expect huge.
The staff is fantastic, very friendly and courteous.
Not expensive.
I’m from the U.S. and travel to England quite a bit, I’ve stayed here the past 2 times.

Downtown London! – Ugh!
There are a good number to choose from around Oxford Street in London. The Thistle Marble Arch, Selfridge Hotel, and the Leonard Hotel are all good value and pretty smart.
Also check out the Belgravia B&B which is more of a hotel than a guest house… I’ve added another hotel search link too, as you may find the rates cheaper on there..
I’ve added the links below.
Oxford Road…Me thinks you mean OXFORD STREET
There’s something called ‘Central London’ if that’s what you mean (though i remember seeing a sign near borough high street/borough road mentioning ‘downtown’) so, perhaps you want to visit south london (as opposed to noth london)
