"I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay here. We came to London so I could run the London Marathon. This apartment is absolutely perfect and beautiful. It is extremely close to The Mall and Buckingham Palace where the finish line is for the marathon which is why I chose this one to begin with but what I didn’t realize until we got there was how close it truly was. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect location. Also very very close to the tubes entrance which made sightseeing a...

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

6/10 Okay

"The view was excellent for the Tower Bridge especially at night. The room needed maintenance, the shower/ bathtub and sink takes forever to drain, and you literally has to HOLD the lever down for a long time in order for the toilet to completely flushed. This property doesn't have a GYM, you have to walk about 20 mins to a gym apparently they partner with. Checking in was great as they have self serve machine and checking out takes less than a minute. I kept encountering house keeping staff opening the door even though I have the " do not disturb" lights on during the day luckily I put the chain on the door. And be really careful when booking as they have a no cancellation policy meaning the minute you book you will be staying there. "

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

10/10 Excellent

"I recently stayed at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge and had an excellent experience. The location is outstanding and hard to beat for sightseeing in London. Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, Uber Boat services, and several HOHO bus stops are all within easy walking distance. Buckingham Palace is also a pleasant walk away. My room was comfortable and well-equipped with a comfortable bed and pillows, a safe, mini-fridge, kettle, coffee and tea facilities, and even a lovely view of Big Ben. There was an ice bucket and an ice dispenser on every floor. The room is equipped with a safe, mini fridge, a US power outlet, a USB and USB-C port. The hotel staff were welcoming, helpful, and attentive throughout my stay. I arrived after an overnight flight and the front desk (Tiffany) kindly allowed me to check in about three hours early so I could rest and refresh, which I greatly appreciated. The doorman is excellent. He has the biggest smile & he helped me locate my airport pickups london driver. I signed up for the eco-housekeeping option and received a £10 food voucher, yet housekeeping still came daily to make the bed, refresh towels, and empty the trash. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a wide variety of choices. My recommendation is to add breakfast when making your reservation, as it cost about £17 when booked in advance compared to approximately £25 if purchased separately. Safe to walk at night."

Sofitel London Heathrow

10/10 Excellent

"The property and staff was everything I needed for my upcoming flight the following morning. The staff was so helpful with every aspect of my arrival and departure that when I fly into Heathrow I’ll be staying here moving forward. The restaurant was exceptional and the meal was also exceptional. As you can tell I was very pleased. Thank you"

Park Plaza London Riverbank

4/10 Poor

"Whilst very very noisy neighbours from 11pm until 2am is not the fault of the hotel staff, but rather the ignorance of the neighbours themselves, I would have preferred security to have been more intent with their actions when asking them to keep the house down, especially after multiple calls to reception due to them becoming excessively noisy every time the security left the floor. No room to do weights in the gym, and the chest press machine was wedged"
