Top Hertford Hotel Reviews
Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster
"Itโs a situation where technically nothing stands out as very bad, but also nothing was memorable enough to say anything good. Stayed 8 nights and I was comfortable. The little mini fridge & the tea kettle were fantastic. Ultimately, the relatively affordable price per night equates to the standard of service provided. Iโve stayed at both the Victoria location and this location. I prefer this location because itโs on a less busy street that is easier to get a taxi or arrive by car. Itโs also a short 15-20 minute walk to the Victoria Station. I would stay again."
citizenM Tower of London
"I enjoyed my stay here! The location couldnโt be better - the hotel entrance is literally next to Tower Hill Tube Station, and youโre just steps from the Tower of London and within walking distance of Tower Bridge. The room is small, but very ergonomic and thoughtfully designed. The huge, comfy bed by the window, shower, vanity, and closet all fit perfectly into the space, so I had everything I needed without feeling cramped. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. When I arrived, the hotel system went down and check-in was temporarily unavailable, but they were so patient and kind throughout the whole situation. Breakfast at ยฃ20.50 was absolutely worth it - great variety, fresh berries and fruit, veggies, hot and cold options, and good coffee. I also loved the iPad in the room. It made everything feel modern and convenient, from controlling the lights to setting the alarm. Iโd definitely stay here again!"

"The hotel room should have toiletries"
Hotel Riu Plaza London Victoria
"Stayed here after seeing Hamilton in the Victoria Palace theatre. Perfect location if youโre going there. Room was lovely and clean. Staff very welcoming, polite and helpful - let us check in early as the room was available. Had breakfast also which we really enjoyed. Again staff in the restaurant were excellent, very professional and well presented - great choice of food, and lovely coffee- even had โto goโ cups for tea/coffee which was a nice touch to take one as you leave. Would definitely stay again."
