Quite a good hotel with great facilities and super 'executive' package - great breakfast in 'private' club room.

The big disappointment was that our 'Special Requirement' of a river view room was totally ignored and changed to 'if available' - that certainly wasn't the consumer expectation - it's this hotel's big differentiator - get them to commit - else don't stay there.

leave aside its name.. its grand lobby area.. and the restaurant.. enter the room n u wl cry ur heart out wondering u have entered a 5 star room or just your regular tiny london hotel room.. like i said.. other than the room everything else is magnifique but then dont we spend most of the time in the room once inside the hotel.. rooms are really nothing much to write home about.. if one has to stay in a tiny room then why pay sooooo much.. better to stay in a 70 GBP room only rather than a 150 GBP one then.. it surely has it pros like its great location with big ben n london eye within 5-10 mnts walking distance... but being the prudent traveller i am.. i would rather recommend a cheaper hotel.. like the local UK brands and not the international ones like this.. 70 GBP for a similar kinda room is what i feel i would pay.. so next time when i was in London.. i stayed in a 70 GBP one for which i am posting a review too... n ws equally satisfied.. extra 70-80 pounds that i paid for this didnt gave me real value.. go for it if you are one of those ' i stay only in 5 stars guy' else move to a cheaper one..

  • Liked — fantabulous location

Stayed at the Park Plaza on business last week and my first impression was "WOW" I must be in the wrong hotel............knowing the prices of central London hotels and the budget allowance my company allocates, I was sure there had been a mistake!!!

But on checking my booking with reception they confirmed I was in the right place!!!!

Check in was swift and my room was ready although I was 2 hours earlier than the advertised arrival time.
The room was fabulous all dark wood and clean white linen and the bathroom was to die for.
The bedroom and bathroom were spotless and the bed was very comfortable.
Unfortunately I had a view of a railway line but not a big issue and reasonable double glazing meant I was not disturbed by train noise.

My toilet broke, late on the first night of my stay ,but with in 10 mins of reporting the fault a member of staff appeared to fix it. When it couldn't be fixed immediately they offered me an alternative room and moved me with no fuss and lots of apologies.

The hotel was conveniently located for me to attend all of my business meetings in the Milbank area, about a 10 minute stroll over Lambeth Bridge, and would be well situated for sight seeing around the Westminster Area for tourists.

Breakfasts were good, a self serve buffet of cooked food, including vegetarian options, and a variety of fruits, juices, pastries and cereals. Tea and coffee were served at your table.
Overall a first class hotel, with helpful, professional staff and a good London location.

Booked through Last Minute.com which, after hours of trawling the net, offered the best price. Rooms were very clean if a little small - but no smaller than you would expect for London if I am being honest. Nice to have a big/deep bath in a spotlessly clean bathroom. Location was good and only a fifteen minute walk to Trafalgar Square. Staff were very good and if I had to gripe about something it would have to be that the bar area was very, very busy in the evenings. Think a lot of people come to eat in the restaurant (which gets extremely crowded at weekends so you need to book even if staying in the hotel). The breakfast (which was definitely the most expensive I have ever eaten) was excellent. If I managed to get another good rate I would go back for sure.
