Top Barbican Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza London Victoria

8/10 Good

"Breakfast Buffet was remarkable. Huge variety and tasty servings. Room was not at all impressive. No window not a good option. Felt too enclosed and cluster -phobic. Couldn’t wait to leave!"

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!"
