Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Riu Plaza London The Westminster impresses many guests with its modern and clean ambiance, and a location that's hard to beat, about a 5 to 15-minute walk to Westminster Abbey and Pimlico underground station. The comfortable rooms often feature spacious bathrooms and are equipped with a kettle, teas, and a fridge. While most appreciate the hotel's style, some guests have found the room setup for two people not ideal.
