"Park Plaza was good, nice rooms, great location. I wouldn't say it was worth what we paid. The check in was incredibly slow with the staff, we were waiting a long time. The room didn't have any nice touches like coffee, water or biscuits. And the spa/swimming pool needed to be booked in advance, and nothing said that was the case online, at booking, check in, or in the in-room information."

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!"
