"We decided to try something new instead of hotel so booked the yacht. Great experience. Marina and boat were lovely. Lots of restaurants and easy to walk around and explore. Steve and Miros went over and above to make sure our stay was great and even picked us up from cruise port and drove us to airport hotel the next day. Would highly recommend . "

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

10/10 Excellent
"Super competitive price for such an excellent, central location. Staff were fantastic too - professional and helpful. Decor in room is a little outdated/acquired taste but minor personal taste point. Offered everything else you’d need, bed pretty comfy too. Would definitely recommend for a short stay. "
