Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The doorman. It was pretty classy. Breakfast was great. Location!"

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at the Riu Westminster. The location was ideal for us - walking distance to Westminster Abbey and plenty of other sites. Cab rides were generally well-priced (we used Freenow, London's Lyft), and there were many train and bus options available. The only thing to be sure you're aware of is the general tightness of the rooms - they are small. We were in a standard Queen. If you are staying one night, or really don't need a lot of space, this is doable and comes at a great price. We stayed 7 nights and absolutely wished we had more space - to store items (there is one close with only two very small draws and one shelf inside), to sit (there are two chairs - a desk chair and a bigger lounger, but no couch or bench), or to do morning yoga. There was simply not enough room. The configuration is a little awkward, as you enter into the sink/bathroom area which can be divided by a pocket door, but does not have ventilation on that side. So, when the pocket door is closed, you're not feeling the AC or breathing easily on that side of the room. We also could not master how to get light on one side and not the other. All of this said, we would stay again. We just wanted to be helpful to future travelers. It's a lovely, well-run hotel. Breakfast was great, and the restaurant was open until midnight. Thank, Riu!"
