Top London Hotel Reviews

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay in a great hotel in a perfect central location"

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

8/10 Good

"Brilliant location, breakfast quite good but don't have very high expectations. Overall a good hotel for exploring London."

citizenM Tower of London

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay here! The location couldn’t be better - the hotel entrance is literally next to Tower Hill Tube Station, and you’re just steps from the Tower of London and within walking distance of Tower Bridge. The room is small, but very ergonomic and thoughtfully designed. The huge, comfy bed by the window, shower, vanity, and closet all fit perfectly into the space, so I had everything I needed without feeling cramped. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. When I arrived, the hotel system went down and check-in was temporarily unavailable, but they were so patient and kind throughout the whole situation. Breakfast at £20.50 was absolutely worth it - great variety, fresh berries and fruit, veggies, hot and cold options, and good coffee. I also loved the iPad in the room. It made everything feel modern and convenient, from controlling the lights to setting the alarm. I’d definitely stay here again!"

The Cumberland, London

8/10 Good

"The hotel room should have toiletries"

Park Plaza London Riverbank

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely modern hotel nice and clean and not too far from attractions staff very helpful"
