Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient for shops and many theatres, Covent Garden."

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

6/10 Okay

"Internet was good. The bathroom wasn’t gross, but I also wouldn’t say it was very clean. Bed was hard, but the room was super quiet and comfy. You’ll be charged extra for everything you should get for free. Checking in early isn’t an option without a fee, nor is leaving your bags - without a fee. "

Hotel Riu Plaza London Victoria

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is really lovely and is in a great location, just a 2 minute walk from Victoria. All areas of the hotel were spotlessly clean and decorated nicely. The bed was really comfy. Our only issue was the room had a separate WC with no sink and then a shower room with a sink. Hygienically not very good idea. Breakfast was exceptional. So much nicer than the usual standard breakfast. Shame they only use the lovely restaurant for breakfast though. Overall a fantastic stay and would recommend. "
