Riu Plaza London Victoria

"This was a birthday treat for my wife and a place to stay after going to the theatre. This is a lovely hotel staff are friendly room was nice (sorry no pictures at the moment but will work on it) friendly welcome. We paid extra for a window view and for the breakfast. The hotel is close to local amenities and tube station so bonus and honestly the breakfast was probably one of the best we have had from multiple hotels. With every up unfortunately there is a down side. I don’t know if it’s the same all around the hotel but there were no carpets so when people walked past your room talking it echoed which was annoying and the second (not that the hotel can do anything about this one but the hotel goes over the road and some annoying person went under revving the engine so I got a rude awakening at 0500 . Overall it is a really nice place and yes would stay again."

"Not our first visit to RIU London Victoria, or other RIU Hotels. We go for the rooms high up with a view, which have so far been looking south towards Battersea, HofP ETC. Great views, room clean, cool and practical, great walking shows and bright lighting. Morning, we get breakfast go down to the lifts the opposite end to the entrance down to floor G - Self-serve. Lots of salad and smoked salmon I think every other day, with loads of cheese. Full English breakfast is available Staff always friendly and welcoming. They are happy to store your bags if you are early pre-check-in, or post-checkout, off you go explore more and come back off home. We also used the hotel for a few nights, before staying at another local hotel to use our points and walk with the suitcases etc. This is a fairly new hotel , developed by RIU from the ground up, from what I understand. They do have a few rooms, with no views. Check out the reviews if you want a bargin."

"This hotel is a stone’s throw from Victoria Railway Station and Underground. Handy for arriving on the Gatwick Express, for onward travel around London and for the M&S, Boots and other shops for any provisions needed. It is a new hotel and all its features feel very clean and modern. I was given an early check in. My deluxe double (the most basic room) was more than adequate for a few nights’ solo stay in the capital. Although located on a very busy road, no traffic noise can be heard in the rooms. There is a huge area for breakfast and a vast buffet, including things I enjoy such as yoghurt made with muesli. No smoothies, though. The staff I met all seemed lovely and, when I did have a small problem with something, they attended to it in the blink of an eye. I am booked to stay at a different London hotel later in the year but plan to swap to this one. Highly recommended."
