I can't be #profanityerased# to pay double for something a little bit pretty. It's a decent bed, clean enough, awesome location. On the management side was awful. I booked the day before and I had to get Expedia involved the night before travelling at 10pm because I didn't have the exact address, codes for access and the necessary...

"I looked for the best deal in town and wasn’t disappointed. Minutes from Paddington station but miles away from noise, cited in a leafy square. For a hostel, this was perfect. Unexpected extras included fridge, microwave, desk fans, kettle and no need to ask for more towels or loo paper. Crisp clean bedding, fresh feel. This is basic done with style and the staff were lovely. Would definitely book with them again. Thank you."

Top London Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is perfectly located, about a block from the London Eye and Westminster Bridge. ! This is where you want to stay!! This hotel is huge… second largest in London with 1200 rooms but it doesn’t seem that way with plenty of staff at the front desk, breakfast, restaurants, bar. Great daily housekeeping too. 2 bottles of water daily. Refrigerator. Lots of bars and restaurants close by. Hop on, hop off bus stop about a block away. Only negatives…..-the room needs more lighting and so does the bathroom. No outlet in the bathroom for a blow dryer, so this is inconvenient."
