"It was an overnight stay, no breakfast. Staff friendly and helpful, room clean. Tea and coffee making facilities in room, but only two tiny portions of milk. Didn't have time to ask for more"

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge
"I thought the property overall was good and very central but the breakfast not so great and you couldn’t use the pool without a booking or the gym so it was almost impossible to enjoy the hotel amenities as too many people inside the hotel during our stay maybe next time but overall ok for the extreme ..."

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
"The view of the Tower Bridge and the location is excellent. The breakfast buffet has several options. The room we stayed in was nice enough, but the hotel is quite old and could overall need some renovation. I would stay there again!"
