Top hotels in Downe
The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
Hotel a bit battered and bruised in places but location, food and especially the lovely staff more than made up for it ! Would definitely stay there again.

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
The check-in is a little weird having 2 receptionists in a self-check-in place. Also my booking was cancelled with no notice, but they did reinstate it - fortunately. The hotel and room is central and low cost - it had all you really need. No frills.
