Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and incredibly helpful staff"

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

2/10 Terrible

"We were on the 2nd floor and club music played until after 2am every night we were there. It sounded like it was in the room with us it was so loud. Also, the shower flooded the room every time we showered. The location was good. The staff was minimal. There is no phone to communicate you have to go down to the lobby of you need anything. There is no tv or blow dryer. It’s just a room and beds. Beds are decently comfortable. Pillows are horrible! The club music and flooding ruined the stay for us."

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very accommodating and quite respectful. Glad we opted to add breakfast to our stay every morning as it was a nice variety of good food. The only complaint that we had is the phone in our room didn't work for some reason for room service. But either way, it was a great hotel to stay in for London."

Royal National Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Great location. The neighbourhood is fairly quiet and calm while being nearby attractions and transportation. The rooms were small but comfortable beds. There was no air conditioning which would have been fine but the heat couldn’t be turned off. The pipes that connected to the radiator were also very hot to the touch, which may be a concern for anyone sleeping in the bed closest to that wall. The bathroom was quite small but having a tub was convenient for laundry."

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

6/10 Okay

"The staff in the lobby were helpful and friendly, the location was excellent for the west end. The room was quiet in terms of traffic noise. the lifts were not very efficient, the beds were very squeaky and creaky but not too bad for comfort. The air conditioning was good. There is a fridge in the room which was also an unesxpected bonus."
