  1. 9.2Exceptional

    Yuko from Japan
    Family with teens
    Deluxe Twin Room
    Stayed 7 nights in August 2025

    “A conveniently located and comfortable hotel.”

    I stayed in London for 5 nights and toured the city. Considering the high transportation costs in London, being able to visit tourist spots within walking distance is a great advantage. The hotel itself had a calm and lovely atmosphere, with a fulfilling breakfast and amenities, and it also had air conditioning, so I was glad I chose it. However, I was disappointed that the cleaning service occasionally forgot to change towels and there were omissions in replenishing slippers and toilet paper. It's very convenient as it’s right by Embankment Station, but with a suitcase, the stairs can be tough, so I think using a taxi from a station with a lift or elevator for round trips from the airport is a good idea.

    SHIZUKA from Japan

    Deluxe Twin Room
    Stayed 5 nights in June 2025

    “Overall, the location was helpful.”

    It was a room with high ceilings and a spacious feel. There was one outlet that could be used directly with Japanese devices. The amenities were old, but had an elegant vibe. It was a connecting room, and since there was a wall with just a single door separating us from the next person, I could hear the television clearly. There were no pens or notepads. I was happy to have decaffeinated Nespresso coffee. The minibar was complimentary, the cookies were delicious, and I took some for a snack. Every day, they replenished the water and minibar, and changed the towels. The bathroom only had lace curtains, making it completely visible from outside, so I tried to take a bath early at night and used the toilet with the lights off. The toilet did not have a washlet. The ventilation fan was silent, so I didn't know how it was functioning. The window faced the Corinthia Hotel instead of the park, and I woke up at around 1 AM to a shouting man and young people's voices outside, making it hard to fall back asleep. Earplugs were essential. Perhaps because the water was hard, no matter how much I washed my hands, they felt slimy and not refreshing. One of the elevators was making strange noises, which was frightening. It was very convenient being so close to Embankment Station and having tour access to Victoria, Gloucester Road, Westminster, and Trafalgar nearby.

    “Kind doorman”

    The hotel is located in a quiet area, making it great for morning strolls, and the bus stop is also nearby. After checking out and waiting for an Uber to the airport, I think the name was Prevez, and the doorman was very kind and helpful, which made my memory of this hotel positive.
