Top London Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay, will be back!"

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

10/10 Excellent

"Very good indeed would highly recommend"

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"Property is located on the Thames and my room just happened to overlook the Tower Bridge. Waking to that everyday was sweet! Right outside the hotel are several restaurants and spots for drinks along the river. The location is close to the transit system and an easy walk to most attractions. While I didn’t interact with the staff other than checking in and out, they were very friendly. The room itself was spacious with a very comfortable bed. Bathroom was nice. I also had to add a day to my stay about six weeks in advance and had no problems at all. I recommend."
