Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing. Only stayed one a stop over in london."

Park Plaza London Riverbank

8/10 Good

"Great location, lovely room, a/c worked well. Bed was very comfortable. The staff was very helpful. The two meals I had in the restaurant were delicious. There was always a taxi waiting at the front door when I went downstairs which was quite convenient. The swimming pool was lovely, and it was great that you could reserve a time to swim so it wasn’t overcrowded. For some reason I was allocated an accessible room which caused some issues in the bathroom, mostly with water getting out of the shower area and soaking the floor. Also the battery in the room safe was giving a message that it needed to be replaced so it was tricky to use the room safe. It was great to have an instant coffee option (with milk packets) in the room — unfortunately housekeeping did not replenish the instant coffee packs so on my last morning there was no coffee for the room. Oddly we had the little Nescafé pods in the room but no related machine. Overall, I would happily return here — the location is very convenient for the City, Covent Garden area and Chelsea/So Kennif you want to travel by taxi."

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a very pleasant hotel. The check in process was very easy although they do require photo ID. They were able to check us in 90 minutes early too. The room was OK. It was a Superior Queen size and actually a lot smaller than I expected. There was also a cot and nappy bin which we hadn't requested so had to get this removed. The bed is very comfortable with good pillows and the room is well lit with plenty of power points. The shower is also good. Breakfast was first class. There are only three lifts so allow for a long wait when coming or going. Overall I would stay here again."

Park Plaza County Hall London

8/10 Good

"View over Waterloo station, no river view. One missing bulb in room. TV channels had flakey reception. Breakfast average and on an industrial scale setting with little charm. Spa not open. Room was quiet and good bathroom. Why safe has to be at floor level I do not know. Functional and near Station but in a charmless district."
