"Fantastic property!! The flat was spacious, beautiful, comfortable, and provided indoor/outdoor living with a private balcony and windows easily opened. The location was perfect! We were able to walk in any direction to the best city sites. I will say there were three items that almost caused problems and I had seen these mentioned in the reviews, but assumed they would all be resolved. HOWEVER, we discovered it was ALL USER ERROR, being that we just didn’t know how to operate them properly. To...

St. James' Court, A Taj Hotel, London

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and helpful staff. We’ve stayed twice and will come back again!"

Westminster Apartments by DMONTRIO

8/10 Good

"The good: Great location right on the Royal Mile with a lot of food options nearby. It is also just a 15-minute walk from the Airlink bus station (the shuttle to and from the airport). The bad: We stayed in a one-bedroom apartment with two adults and two kids. The apartment is tiny—only one person can fit in the kitchen area at a time, and there is absolutely no room for four people to sit and have breakfast."

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

8/10 Good

"Just had a 3 night stay at Park Plaza Westminster in a studio room with a Big Ben view. Room was really spacious and view was spectacular. Bathroom was big and had both a shower and bath. The studio had microwave and some plates and cutlery for use of you wished to eat in your room. Amenities at the hotel were very good with options for casual dining or full restaurant experience. We had breakfast included. It was your basic big hotel fare. Adequate but not setting any high notes. Chefs signature breakfast option was porridge... Location was very good. Able to walk to most areas, London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square etc. Also plenty of food and restaurant options within an easy walking distance. Pricing we paid was on the more expensive side in my opinion but did pay extra for Big Ben vew (well worth it) and breakfast option. Hotel was very busy on the weekend we stayed but this did not impact anything that we wanted to access. The overarching reason for our stay here was the view of the Big Ben and to that end it delivered."
