Hub By Premier Inn London Westminster - Westminster Abbey
Very good location, close to tube station. Nice breakfast. Tiny rooms. You have to ask for housekeeping otherwise, they won’t do your room. Comfortable bed. Not much room to move around the bed or to place your things. Good for one or two nights at the most but not for longer stays.

The Rubens at the Palace
The staff was exceptional, from the gentlemen at the front door to the people at the front desk. They made our stay. The room was much smaller than it appeared in the pictures and the bed was very soft. Beautiful restaurants, but expensive.

Strand Palace Hotel
