Top Royal Festival Hall Hotel Reviews

Moxy London Piccadilly Circus

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, perfect location!, very nice and helpful staff (we came to them a few times with questions, whoever we talked to was very friendly and helpful)."

Club Quarters Hotel Trafalgar Square, London

10/10 Excellent

"We had breakfast in the hotel and I have stayed in many 4/5* hotels and to be honest I was disappointed in the quality for the price. It’s all pre cooked and kept in bainmary so in general all overcooked. Not what you expect in this standard hotel."

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge. Our room was clean, modern, and surprisingly spacious, with a fantastic view of Elizabeth Tower/Big Ben — such a perfect London touch. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax after long days of sightseeing. The location couldn’t be better. It’s just steps from the Underground and multiple bus routes, so getting around the city was effortless. Being able to walk to the South Bank, Westminster Abbey, and the London Eye was a huge bonus. Overall, this hotel was perfect for our London trip — comfortable, convenient, and memorable. We’d absolutely stay here again."

Sea Containers London

10/10 Excellent

"We just finished a 6-night stay at Sea Containers London and thoroughly enjoyed it, with just a few minor quirks worth mentioning. First, the good: this is a very nice hotel in the heart of central London, right on the River Thames, with walking distance to shops, restaurants, a museum, the London Eye, theaters, a comedy club, and public transportation. The staff were very accommodating, and the rooms were modern and clean. A few small quirks: we had to request ice and face cloths daily rather than having them replenished automatically (perhaps a cultural difference), and the bed was quite firm for our taste. The biggest miss was that breakfast was actually included in our reservation, and since we'd booked weeks in advance, we completely forgot — a simple reminder at check-in would have been a nice touch. Even on the two days we did make it down for breakfast, the lines were quite long. We also weren't able to enjoy Happy Hour Lyaness bar or the roof top, as it was closed for private events during our stay. Overall, a lovely stay with great location and service, minor hiccups aside."

Strand Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good location for the theater and restaurants"

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

10/10 Excellent

Park Plaza London Riverbank

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was nice."

Premier Inn London Waterloo - York Road

10/10 Excellent

"A great location near Waterloo station( 5 min walk) and the London Eye. Walkable to attractions such as Buckingham Palace too. An American queen size bed was comfortable for 2. Nice modern shower. Breakfast and dinner in the restaurant was good and convenient and not overpriced. We didn’t have or need a car. Highly recommend the London GoCity pass for attractions."
