Strand Palace Hotel
"Very nice and very clean hotel in a convenient location. Close to many restaurants and access to a number of busses and trains. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. The superior single room I stayed in was small as compared to US hotel rooms, but was very comfortable."

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
"I can’t fault this hotel for the location - it’s the reason we have stayed here twice this year. But honestly, the whole hotel needs ripping out and starting again to bring it up to date. There are limited plugs in all rooms. None of them have any plugs near the bed. There are NO USB sockets anywhere. ..."

"We had a good stay at the Park Plaza for 9 nights. The location is terrific, short walk to Uber Boat, Westminster tube and Waterloo train station. Great views of Big Ben and Parliment buildings. The room was comfortable and clean. Primo Bar, Ichi, and Illy Cafe all had great service and food. Disappointed ..."

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
"The hotel is very centrally located and in a great spot near a lot of shops, theatres, and restaurants. While the service leaves something to be desired, as you have to check in and get your own room keys on a self-service tablet that is not very customer-friendly, and they do not clean the rooms ..."
