The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
The room was clean but smaller than I thought. We called the front desk for some water and they came with 4 extra bottles of water which was amazing! Overall, I would stay here again.

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge
Breakfast is distinctly average to bellow. Not terrible, not something you’d pay for if you’re not here for work like I was.

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
Great location to theatres, shops, restaurants and local places like Oxford Circus, Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square. The staff are helpful and friendly. Room is quiet but needs a bit of maintenance and repair.
