citizenM London Victoria Station
Super spotless and modern. Really loved the staff and it’s so close to Victoria station! I would highly recommend staying here. Very close walking distance to Big Ben, The Buckingham Palace and St. James Park. Very convenient spot and I would stay here again.

Hub By Premier Inn London Westminster - Westminster Abbey
Location! Room - small. If you are claustrophobic- skip. Breakfast - could be better, just basic. You’ll survive and enjoy the view if your room has the window. But the location is great! Close to everything.
