The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
Really great area. It felt very safe even at nighttime. Convenient to tube. Very pretty with Tower Bridge, the shard and Tower of London. The food options at the hotel were excellent. Staff were lovely also. The only thing that lets it down is the state of the bathrooms. They are extremely dated. ...

The Grand at Trafalgar Square
Excellent location close to many London attractions and two underground stations. The service was great. They even allowed us to check in several hours earlier. The rooms are a bit outdated, and the heating doesn’t work very well.
