Top Hertford Hotel Reviews
Royal National Hotel
"Good breakfast! Friendly & helpful staff! Will definitely stay again."
Bob W London Hyde Park
"Room was spacious and clean. We got one on the ground floor so it was noisy, it wouldโve been bad if we didnโt have a sound machine. Staff was helpful. Location was great, near dining, grocery stores, Princess Diana Memorial Park and transportation."
Strand Palace Hotel
"Fantastic location, excellent experience"
STG Hotel London Oxford Street
"My first two nights I was in an older room. There wasnโt even a coffee pot that was a bit of a bummer. Lots of noise and construction going on all night long the rooms without air-conditioning. You have to open up the window so itโs very noisy. Cute little bar and cafรฉ on site. I moved to another room for two more nights, and that was a much better room higher up with air-conditioning bigger and worth the extra cost. With all that being said, itโs all about location, location, location, and this one has it. Thereโs a Mark and Spencerโs right across the street shopping pharmacy and all the food restaurants, pubs, music, plays and comedy clubs all a 10 minute walk."
The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
"We loved our stay at the Tower Hotel thank you! We disappointingly couldnโt afford to upgrade to the Tower Bridge view room when we were offered it (it is our dream). Imagine our surprise and delight when we walked into our room to find we had an amazing view of the bridge!!! Thank you so much, our dreams came true. We had the best time. The location is fantastic. Our room was spacious, the bed so comfortable & facilities great. The staff are lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed it all. We will return."
Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge
"What a beautiful hotel, room and bathroom were large, clean, and very comfortable beds. Of course the location is amazing."
Royal Garden Hotel
"The staff are incredible and go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. If youโre looking for a convenient location and a great staff, this is the place for you! 11/10"
Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
"This is a great place for the basics. The rooms are very basic and provide a safe, clean place to sleep and go back out and do the tourist thing. I had never stayed in a hotel like this before and it served our needs. They stored our bags for a price, if you needed more towels or toilet tissue they were helpful, but this is a very basic place. I did love that you could not hear the noise of Piccadilly Circus and the room was dark for sleep since there wasn't any windows. Overall it was a good stay."
Moxy London Piccadilly Circus
"Helpful staff. One downside was that the larger trash cans on room floors was by the elevator. Each morning when we left residents had left take-out containers from the night before in the trash near the elevators and caused a bad smell."
