Downtown/Richmond Row offers the highest hotel density with excellent walkability to attractions like Covent Garden Market and transit access, but expect rates 10–30% higher.

What payment methods and deposit policies are common for hotels in London, Ontario?
Major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) are widely accepted. Hotels commonly place a pre-authorization hold of $37–$150 USD (CAD 50–CAD 200) or the estimated stay amount on a card upon arrival. Always choose to pay in CAD to avoid dynamic currency conversion fees.

Top Tips
- For Western University events such as late August move-in and spring or fall convocations, book 4–8 weeks in advance. These academic events increase weekend hotel demand and rates, especially in downtown and near-campus areas. Confirm event dates directly if your travel is flexible to secure better rates.
- London International Airport (YXU) is about 12 km (15–20 minutes by car) from downtown. Taxis and rideshares are common, as there is no public rail from the airport. Ask your hotel if they provide shuttle service or negotiated taxi flat rates.
- Select hotels located within 5–10 minutes’ walk of Richmond Row or Covent Garden Market for easy access to downtown dining and nightlife. This minimizes evening taxi costs, as short rides in central London typically cost $15–$25 CAD. Ask about walkable routes or accessible paths if needed.
- If visiting patients at University Hospital (London Health Sciences Centre), stay in University/Horton or near Richmond Street, 2–4 km (5–12 minute drive) away. Most major hotels offer accessible rooms and step-free access on request; specify these needs during booking.
- London’s municipal water is treated and safe to drink year-round. Bring your own bottle to refill at the hotel or public fountains. In case of severe storms or flooding advisories, check for safety updates from the city or your hotel’s front desk.
- From December to March, average January temperatures range from -6°C to -2°C, with regular snow. For reliable car use and faster morning departures, choose hotels offering indoor or covered parking. Confirm if de-icing tools or plug-in stations for block heaters are available.
