"The flat is in a very convenient location for access to several local landmarks. The checking process, accuracy of information like wifi, and overall maintenance of the flat were dreadful. The instructions book in the flat did not match the information provided by the management team. The TV, cable, and internet only worked sporadically. Despite the location, there was not much going for this property."

Top London Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza London Riverbank

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was clean. Nice size living space and bathroom. Breakfast had a variety of choices. Staff members were friendly and helpful. Fruit and cold water in the lobby were appreciated. About a 15-minute walk over the Lambeth Bridge to many sites and about a 15-minute walk to Vauxhall Station. Very close to a Tesco Express Supermarket. We enjoyed our stay and, if we return to London, would definitely stay there again."

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a lovely stay, the staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful and the service throughout the stay was excellent. I liked the hotel’s eco-friendly approach to room cleaning. The option to reduce daily cleaning not only support their environment efforts, but also came with a small reward which was a lovely touch. Overall a great experience with excellent service and a thoughtful approach to sustainability. I would happily stay here again."

STG Hotel London Oxford Street
