Top Imperial War Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

10/10 Excellent

"My room was clean, the common areas were clean, the staff was friendly and the breakfast was excellent."

Strand Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good location"

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"We opted for a standard room with a view of Tower Bridge. I loved that view and took so many photos at different times of the day. You can see the Shard too. Next time I would opt for a renovated room with view. Our room was showing its age, not in a run down way but I think it was original to the 1970’s. I would prefer a refreshed room. We had lunch on the terrace of the Vicinity restaurant, the weather was perfect, the service was good, and of course the view. We also had dinner there, again the view. The menu was not innovative. We had the steak and ale pie, which was good, but the night before we had eaten in a restaurant with a very creative menu."

St. James' Court, A Taj Hotel, London

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Felt really well cared for during our stay! Property is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained."

Marlin Waterloo

10/10 Excellent

"Conveniently located to major attractions, short walking distance to the Waterloo Station, lots of amenities within minutes of walking. The room was very well appointed and extremely clean, staff were professional and always eager to help and answer questions, even though the hotel was on a busy street I found the room was able to block out almost all of the traffic noise and made it pleasant to sleep at night. I definitely will stay again!"

Park Plaza London Waterloo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel. Good value for money"

H10 London Waterloo

10/10 Excellent
