The hype
The location is a 10/10, but the hotel feels like a busy airport terminal with long queues for everything.
Park Plaza Westminster Bridge
$230-500/ noche
Reserva esto si You are a first-time tourist or family who wants Big Ben to be the last thing you see at night and the first thing you see in the morning.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Unbeatable views of Big Ben and Parliament from river-facing rooms
- Walking distance to the London Eye, Aquarium, and Waterloo Station
- Family-friendly suites with separate living areas and sofa beds
Resumen rápido: A massive, chaotic tourism factory that trades personalized service for an iconic location and killer views.
Reseñado por @jacqs_jetaways_ita: I booked this suite for a VIP client but honestly, I was blown away during the walkthrough. The space is huge, and sipping champagne on that balcony with Big Ben right there? Unforgettable. It's perfect if you need serious space in central London.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
You are paying for the view; the rooms themselves are standard corporate fare and some furnishings are looking tired.
- You are traveling with kids and need a pool and space
- You plan to spend all day sightseeing and just need a central base
- You are attending a conference at the hotel
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
8
- Housekeeping: Hit or miss due to the 'every 3 days' policy. You have to chase them for fresh towels or coffee refills.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling. Bathrooms are modern and easy to keep clean.
- Maintenance: Some rooms showing wear—scuffed furniture, stained curtains, and 'tired' carpets reported.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality, usually clean but check for stray hairs.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like signature hotel scent; Atrium rooms can smell a bit stale due to lack of airflow.

Genio de Habitaciones
Mejores opciones
- Studio King with Big Ben View (high floor) for the money shot
- External-facing rooms on floors 10+ to minimize street noise
Habitaciones a evitar
- Internal Atrium rooms (often sold as 'Superior') — they have zero privacy, face other rooms, and feel like a 'vampire's crypt' with no natural light
- Low floors on the hospital side (siren city)
Genio de Solicitud de Habitación – copiar y pegar
“Request a high-floor room (10th floor or above) facing AWAY from the internal atrium. If booking a view room, specifically ask for 'Big Ben view' to ensure you aren't just facing the bridge road.”
Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is the pool free?
Yes, but you MUST book a time slot in advance, and they sell out fast.
Does the hotel have parking?
Yes, but it is extortionate at ~£65 per day. Use public transport.
Can I see Big Ben from every room?
No. Only specific 'View' categories have it. 'Atrium' rooms look at a wall or other windows.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not, unless specified in your rate. It costs ~£25/person otherwise.
How often is the room cleaned?
Every 3 days by default. You must call reception to request daily cleaning.
Is it close to the Tube?
Yes, roughly 5 minutes walk to Westminster or Waterloo stations.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast queue and walk 5 mins to 'Lower Marsh' street for amazing cafes.
- ✨
If the main elevators are gridlocked, check if the service elevator or stairs are an option for lower floors.
- ✨
The 'Executive Lounge' access is rarely worth the upgrade cost unless you drink a lot of alcohol in the evening.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'Atrium' rooms allow guests across the gap to see right into your room—keep curtains closed.
💡You have to pay a deposit upon check-in even if the room is prepaid.
💡The hotel is so large (1,000+ rooms) that it feels like a mini-city, complete with traffic jams in the lobby.
💡Room service uses eco-friendly packaging that feels a bit like takeout.
💡The 'concierge' desk is often just a ticket-selling stand for tours.
