"Always reliable as an overnight stop before a T5 departure, rooms are clean, very comfortable and spacious and the bathrooms equally so. It may help you to understand the light switches if you hold a qualification in electrical engineering ...."

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

10/10 Excellent
"We had a nice stay, the hotel is conveniently located for Westminster, Victoria and The Tate although it is about a ten minute walk from the tube, but this does mean it’s pretty quiet in the evenings. The room was nice and modern, I appreciated the ample wardrobe space. Breakfast was pretty chaotic on the weekend but there was a good selection of food. Would stay again if I was visiting this area of London."

Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel

Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel

8/10 Good
"This is a great hotel to stay. The staff are helpful and friendly, the large lobby is great for meeting up with friends or hanging out. The rooms were quiet. We had a problem with the thermostat in our room, not sure if we couldn't figure it out but it kept resetting itself. There's a small "tuck " shop where you can pick up insundries and a small cafe where you can get a coffee. The restaurant has a good menu and the food and service was great. We also used the bar, where we had a light snack and great non-alcoholic cocktails. Perhaps best of all is the hotels location close to Windsor for a day out but most of all for those who love plane spotting it overlooks one of the runways. I probably spent 3 -4 hours standing on the grassy mound outside watching the planes."
