I travel by myself and I have to say I feel so safe and secure in this hotel - even though it’s large I never feel worried.

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge
Terrible service at the reception. We paid extra for a room with a view, but there was no view whatsoever. This feels dishonest and unprofessional. Very disappointed
