The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
Excellent overall, though breakfast good but not international hotel standard. View over the Thames was superb and we shall certainly be staying there again.

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
Perfectly convenient location in the heart of Piccadilly Circus. If you read up on the hotel, you will not be surprised by the smaller rooms and little amenities. There is so much to do and so close to the Underground train system. The Zedwell is the best value for the area. Highly recommended.
