Great views and great staff

Strand Palace Hotel
Fantastic location, great staff, and the rooms were clean. Walls were a bit thin as I could hear folks in the hallways.

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge
The room was large and had a great view. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great! The location of this hotel is really perfect. I was so easy to get to many parts of the city either by walking or taking the Waterloo station which is a short walk from the hotel.

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
A bed for the night with a good shower. Convenient location. Otherwise no redeeming features. The closest thing to a youth hostel masquerading as a hotel. But what we expected.

The Drey - Kensington, Earl's Court
Our room was very small - we walked into the bed, and had no where to store luggage except for under the bed. I would upgrade to a larger room here, or go to the nearby Brit Hotels.

Royal Garden Hotel
The gym was dark and could be cleaner. Some broken equipment
