The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location"

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely clean hotel, room were very nice. Friendly staff, one of the porters that we saw a few times called Vijay went over & beyond to help & was so friendly. The breakfast was one of the best we've had at a hotel and we've stayed all over the world. The only one thing I would say been a celiac is the gluten free bread is not great, you can get better and I've had better at a hotel but they did have an option that I saw on the second morning a gluten free roll, which I wasn't offered the first morning. So you do need to ask. We would definitely stay there again and do like Riu hotels. The hotel is close to the Thames river and you can walk everywhere if you are able. It's a great location for sightseeing."

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

6/10 Okay

"The hotel is very nice andxa great location for sight seeing, close to the tube and buses, Also great for theatres galleries and restaurants all walking distances. The room was clean and functional however very basic. No tea/coffee making facilities. The shower was good very hot and good pressure, but no toilet brush which would b helpful. Also no fan in the bathroom so very hot, an aircon unit in the room which wasnt very good, room extremely hot. Extra pillows provided which was good. We asked for more toilet rolls which did not materialise. . Staff were approachable and friendly."
