4. Absolute Pleasure Yacht

Canary Wharf

"This is a fun place to stay in so much as my room had a massive outside area, the bed was great and I could look out over the water to watch the fun of Canary Wharf Its very very basic. I had no shower gel etc in the shower, the toilet is a marine toilet, no water offered (or available) so needed me to visit a local shop. Its near all the bars so quite noisy. I'd stay there again but not for that price. Its too expensive for what it is. "

Top England Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza London Riverbank

8/10 Good

"Nothing"

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

10/10 Excellent

"A fantastic hotel near enough to the action in London but far enough away to be nice and quiet. A great location for all the key sites. Hotel was exceptionally clean, the room was great and spacious and as many others have said, the breakfast was brilliant. A fantastic choice each morning. The only thing that was frustrating was the lack of lifts - only 2 working for the duration of our stay and getting down to breakfast took some time when it was busy. You can walk down the stairs - we found this out on the last day. You have to walk down to the ground floor then come back inside the hotel and up one flight of stairs to breakfast. If you go straight to floor one, there is a fire exit and you can’t get through. If you are on a low floor, do the stairs instead of waiting for the lifts if the lifts aren’t all in action."
