Royal National Hotel
Room was as expected, fairly small but not bad for London. Everything was clean, bathroom was adequate. The temperature in the whole hotel was a little too warm. Overall good for the money. I'd recommend it.

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
Stylish reception lobby with plenty of screens for booking in/out and helpful staff who answered any quires we had. Stayed in a twin room with clean comfortable beds and en-suite bathroom with towels and toiletries. Only thing I’d recommend is for a small shelf near to the bed for somewhere to place ...
