Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster
We enjoyed our stay here. I felt the pictures on the website were deceptive regarding the view from the room, but the free breakfast was hands down the best hotel breakfast I've ever had. The staff was kind and professional. We would stay here again.

The Rubens at the Palace
Fantastic location, just a 5 min walk from Victoria station. Staff are great, so friendly. Room was lovely. It didn’t have the advertised chandelier though. The wardrobe wasn’t tall enough for my maxi dresses but i was able to hang them on the outside which was fine. Plenty of hangers. Gorgeous cake ...
