Hub By Premier Inn London Westminster - Westminster Abbey
Everything was very good. The staff is helpful. The space is perfect for a couple. It needs a desk and a chair, more hangers, and a luggage rack. Then it would be perfect. It meets all needs very well. Quick access to everything. I recommend it and will return again.

The Rubens at the Palace
We stayed one night with dinner and breakfast. Unfortunately there was a long waiting time for our breakfast ( approx 50 mins) Staff apologised about wait time which was fine but when breakfast finally arrived, it was cold which makes me wonder if food was actually ready but just wasnt brought out. ...

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster
I’ve stayed at this hotel several times over the last few years and used to go to the bar some 17 years ago. Whilst the location and lobby area are great, the restaurant and bar are so terribly sad; lacking the merest hint of atmosphere or ambience. Such a waste.
