"The room I was in was clean & I love that there were some nights where there was free dinners. The free dinners were the best part. Also, having towels that were decently priced and not overly expensive was a huge plus. You'll need to bring your own soap and washcloth though. 8/10 for me."

Top London Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location and great stay! The hotel is in a fantastic spot—literally a short walk to many of London’s top highlights. The train station is a convenient 5-minute walk, and Sainsbury’s convenience store is equally close. There aren’t many restaurants right nearby, but that didn’t bother me at all. Breakfast was solid. We were seated quickly, and while the avocados were a little hard, everything else was delightful. The room (we had a queen corner unit) was spacious and comfortable. My boyfriend found the bed a bit firm/stiff, but I slept great with no issues. The hotel itself is very clean, and the staff were genuinely helpful. I would happily stay here again!"
