The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"Brilliant location, very comfortable rooms, good breakfast and staff are so friendly and helpful. We will stay again on next visit."

Radisson Blu Hotel, London Heathrow

6/10 Okay

"Hotel was good for one night but the bed for the third adult was nothing but a camp bed. Even though we didn’t arrive until 8pm, housekeeping had to be called to put the bed up. After a long day travelling, this wasn’t ideal. Neither was there a third tea cup or barely enough tea/coffee/sugar/milk for 3 people. There was no vanity area with plug sockets and mirror to do hair and makeup. For these reasons, we wouldn’t stay here again."
