Strand Palace Hotel
Room was well appointed, clean but very small. Bed was 4ft in width and had one side flush with the wall. It is not really suitable for a couple.

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
Liked the stay, it was good for the price, only need to fix the soap dispensers and add a toilet paper holder. The rooms were a little hard to find as the elevator would drop you off in different parts of the floor or the signs were dark.
