The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
The room was clean but smaller than I thought. We called the front desk for some water and they came with 4 extra bottles of water which was amazing! Overall, I would stay here again.

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge
Breakfast is distinctly average to bellow. Not terrible, not something you’d pay for if you’re not here for work like I was.
