The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
Staff were great, very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately the ac in our room did not work and it was very hot in the room, woke up in the night and the room was 24c. The hotel seems quite run down and a little freshen up would be great.

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
Staff great, check in great, location great. The room was good but just lacked anywhere to put anything. No sideboards, bedside table so had to put everything on the floor. Bathroom was the same. No where to put anything.
