The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
Hotel located in historical location. No doubt with that. However, there wasn’t heating system or it wasn’t working. The price paid wasn’t worth staying to the hotel.

Royal National Hotel
Excellent location for our stay, check-in was busy but the staff were efficient and friendly. Always greeted when arriving/departing the hotel. Room for 3 adults was fine for our short stay. Would recommend and return.

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
Liked the stay, it was good for the price, only need to fix the soap dispensers and add a toilet paper holder. The rooms were a little hard to find as the elevator would drop you off in different parts of the floor or the signs were dark.
