9/10 Wonderful! (1,607 reviews)
We just got back from a two week stay at Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster. This hotel was wonderful! We had a few issues with the first room they put us in, but he staff was very helpful and accommodating and moved us into a different room quickly, and that room was wonderful. It was clean and fairly large by central London standards. The location of the hotel was perfect. At first, we were worried that we weren't super close to a tube station (we were a 10 min walk from Pimlico tube station, but other hotels are closer to tube stations), but that turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because the second week of our trip was hit with tube strikes, but that didn't bother us too much because we were relying on buses and the Uber boat river bus service anyway. There are several very helpful bus lines within a 5 minute walk of the hotel because it's next door to the Tate Britain Museum, and these bus lines pass through all of the major tourist attractions of central London like the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, and Piccadilly Circus. The hotel is close to the river, which is great for taking the Uber boat to Greenwich or the Tower of London. The neighbourhood around the hotel was quiet and safe. Breakfast was included, and it was amazing! It had so many hot food options, and lots of bonuses like a Nutella dispenser for pancakes. Breakfast was so delicious! Overall, I would recommend this hotel for a wonderful stay in central London.
