Top United Kingdom Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza London Riverbank

8/10 Good

"The room was just ok. I had stayed at another property at Park Plaza Westminster before. This Riverbank property was not as nice; particularly the bathroom shower in my room was not clean ie the shower had soap scum and evidence of dry rot adjacent to the door . The staff was excellent and helpful. The breakfast buffet was good; some items especially the fresh fruit were in short supply. Overall a good stay."

The Cumberland, London

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in an executive king room for the weekend for my daughter's 12th birthday. From the moment we arrived we were extremely well looked after by all of the staff and we were very impressed with the hotel, especially the VIP lounge which we had access to due to booking an executive room. As well as this, the hotel provided some lovely birthday gifts for my daughter, which she was very excited to receive when we arrived in the room. Overall we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and we will definitely be back again. Thank you!"

The Social Hub Glasgow

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a nice area and fairly convenient to bus and train stations. The staff are helpful and friendly in general. My bedroom was spacious and comfortable. I was confused that I had to pay a £50 deposit when I arrived but otherwise everything was good and the breakfast was expensive but excellent. I would stay again."

citizenM Tower of London

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay here! The location couldn’t be better - the hotel entrance is literally next to Tower Hill Tube Station, and you’re just steps from the Tower of London and within walking distance of Tower Bridge. The room is small, but very ergonomic and thoughtfully designed. The huge, comfy bed by the window, shower, vanity, and closet all fit perfectly into the space, so I had everything I needed without feeling cramped. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. When I arrived, the hotel system went down and check-in was temporarily unavailable, but they were so patient and kind throughout the whole situation. Breakfast at £20.50 was absolutely worth it - great variety, fresh berries and fruit, veggies, hot and cold options, and good coffee. I also loved the iPad in the room. It made everything feel modern and convenient, from controlling the lights to setting the alarm. I’d definitely stay here again!"
