A friend and I stayed four nights in London after a tour. This Riu hotel is conveniently located beside Victoria Station, The neighborhood is safe and walkable. The hotel room was comfortable. The air conditioning worked perfectly. The bathroom is large and convenient with space for cosmetic bags and hooks to hang towels. The lobby area is attractive. We did not have much contact with the hotel personnel, because none was necessary, The breakfasts are varied and plentiful. All in all, it was a very nice stay.

Really nice hotel with one major issue during our stay. With the weather being in the mid to highs 30s the air conditioning was down and not working at all. A complimentary drinks was offered by way of apology but that really didn’t help with the room being roasting with no window to open. Staff were understandably stressed at the amount of complaints they were facing from guests who wanted to cancel their reservations due to this matter. This did make check in a very long drawn out experience.
