2. Cosy Canal Boat in Little Venice for Family & Friends

City of Westminster

"We had a peaceful, lovely stay. Little Venice is an easy walk from Paddington Station, while also being a world in itself. The boat is cozy with a nice seating area near the entrance, a very workable kitchen, and room outside for two or three to enjoy drinks or a meal. It is a treat to see swans and other water birds out the windows. Rather than run the engine for hot water, we used the stove to warm up water for personal hygiene. The host left wood for heat, but we didn't need it. The...

Top Northern Europe Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

8/10 Good

"Front desk staff not at all warm, engaging or the least bit interested in the guests. Checking in, no hello, no good evening, no welcome to the park plaza, Checking out was the same, gentleman looked up and said, you’re good to go. No thanks for staying with us, no how was your stay. They were very disinterested. That being said, location was good. Hotel showing some signs of wear and tear. Beds comfortable, linens nice."

Clarion Hotel The Hub

10/10 Excellent

"The Clarion Hotel - The Hub is highly convenient if you are looking for easy access to the train station, which is literally right across the street! We chose to stay here one night in between flying into Oslo (and taking the train right to Central "S" station) and taking the train out the next morning to head to Bergen. The hotel was also accommodating in allowing us to store our luggage in a secure storage room until check-in time. It is also just a short walk away from top sights including the Opera House and Munch Museum. Highly recommend!"

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed the pod change of pace... clean, safe, quiet, and comfortable... other than a bit awkward getting in/out. My only gripe was that the coffee machine (only one I could see) was broken, and one vending machine as well. Enjoyable experience; will book again."
