Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
The future of travel? You can check in and out without speaking to another human being... Pros: My room (single pod) was fine - small, as expected, with a nice bathroom area and sufficient hooks for hanging things as well as a raised flat area for bags and shoes. It seemed to be the cheapest place ...

The Grand at Trafalgar Square
This was our second visit, primarily because of the excellent location. The front desk staff were wonderful and took the time to explain the self-service laundry and coffee area. Thank you!

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge
I arrived very early after a very long flight and the staff accommodated an early check in, which was fantastic. The room was spacious and very clean. A swim in the pool was a great way to relax and get things moving after a long flight.
