Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Mohammad (Porter) was amazing. Staff very friendly overall. Solid hotel, great location for West end theater proximity"

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

8/10 Good

"Stayed in a standard double room overlooking Tower Bridge which the view was great. The room was very outdated and needed a bit more focus on the cleaning. No usb sockets and still old sockets for fax machines! The furniture was old wooden cupboards and the door to the one with the mini fridge was not quite on its hinge. The carpet, although vacuumed, could do with a clean and there were quite a number of lamps and surfaces with dust on. Walls we know become damaged which can't be helped but one of the lamp shades had brown stains marks on it. The sheet on the bed also had a tear in it. The bathroom, we found a hair or two and the bath itself was quite grubby and porus so appeared to be dirty. I know from experience this can be difficult to make look clean. There were rust marks on the tiles from where perhaps a handrail once was. It was also quite dark as only 3 spotlights. All that said, the view was lovely, were were staying for a special birthday and I had put this on my booking and around 10 minutes after arrival, there was a knock at the door with a complimentary bottle of wine and a slice of cake. We dined at Vicinity and the food was plentiful and again a complimentary slice of cheesecake was given for the birthday boy. Overall the sleep was fine, the bed itself was comfy although I have sensitive skin and did find the bedding a little too stiff. Breakfast in the Gallery was self serviced and plenty of continental and full English options available. We were room 643."

2/10 Terrible

"The room itself was fine for a budget hotel and the location was convenient. However, my stay was let down by repeated disturbances on the morning of check-out. There was drilling taking place in the hallway before 7:30am, followed by a member of staff entering my room while I was asleep. After discovering the room was occupied, I would have expected this information to be passed on, but around 45 minutes later another member of staff attempted to enter the room again. I had also locked the door after the first incident, yet access was still gained. When I raised this at reception, I was told staff had assumed the room was vacant because one guest had returned their key. As the booking was for two guests, I do not feel this was an acceptable assumption to make. The room was adequate, but having staff attempt to enter an occupied room twice before check-out left me feeling uncomfortable and disappointed with the overall experience."

Point A London Liverpool Street

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my friend stayed for 1 night and it was so amazing!! Couldn’t recommend more. We arrived earlier than check in (3pm) and asked if we could have an early check in, in which they gave us a room upgrade plus the early check in. Rooms were really modern and clean. They even gave us complementary baggage storage! Definitely recommend especially if you’re looking for a cheaper option. Location was really good and underground was near by. We stayed for a concert at Wembley and found it straight forward to get to. Amazing!! Bonus for the blank street down the road!"
