Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge
We had to wait until 4:30 to check in, even though check-in was at 3:00. We got there at 10:00 am. The room could have used a better cleaning. The location is GREAT, in walking distance to many sightseeing attractions and good restaurants.

Ce fut ma deuxième visite dans ce lieu d'hébergement. Extrêmement bien situé (en plein coeur de Londres) - il est donc très facile de ce servir de l'hôtel comme un hub à partir duquel planifier ses activités en périphérie. Le personnel est très serviable et attentionné. J'y retournerai!
