Top hotels in Acton
Strand Palace Hotel
Room was noisy and very light all night, there was no ability to shut off the bathroom and no blinds in the bathroom to keep out the light and noise.

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge
Nice Hotel. 2 minutes walk to Big Ben! Staff were very friendly. Rooms are very clean and modern. Only gripe was no view as we had an atrium view but we weren’t in the room long enough to worry.

Amazing location! Literally sleeping next to the Theatre in Piccadilly!!! 😊. We booked the hotel to watch Les Mis which was absolutely incredible if you are thinking about a theatre trip. Easy check in. There was staff there to help with any hiccups. Friendly staff. Clean entrance with a few seats ...

Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington
Everything is great, very professional staff👌English breakfast is one of my favourite, especially the hush brown, which needs a pinch of salt to make it perfect, but I still love it. Apart from that they served poached eggs, sausages, croissants and amazing fresh melons! 😋
