Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Riu Plaza London The Westminster impresses many guests with its modern and stylish appearance, offering some rooms with great views, especially from higher floors like the 11th, with the cityscape and Thames being visible. Rooms are well-equipped, featuring amenities such as Nespresso machines and comfortable beds, making for a pleasant stay. Conveniently located in Millbank, the hotel allows for short walks to attractions like Westminster Abbey and Big Ben, although some have noted that Pimlico tube station, a 10-minute walk away, isn't the most appealing. Guests can also enjoy the well-equipped gym, and breakfast is generally good despite sometimes being busy.
