 | City Inn Westminster: What a great stay I had
|  |
 |
|
 |
I stayed here 3 nights at end of september and what a great hotel this is!
Nice and helpful staff, great room with all the facilities I could think of and a really good bed.
The TV is not a TV, it's an Imac computer! Free and fast internet connection in the room, and yes, you can watch TV on it too.
The breakfast was really good, I had full english prepaid, and the waiters were fast and efficient. They even had french and russian speaking waiters, maybe german too, I didn't hear anyone speak it.
Fresh fruit salad and fresh orange juice and 2 different kind of toast, the usual assortment of yogurt and cereals and different kinds of ham and lots more.
The only letdown, as usual with english hotels that I stayed at, is the cheese. Too little and too bad.
They have a caffe and a restaurant too, but I didn't try them out.
The room service is good although I think the alternatives are a bit on the short side. It's also very expensive.
The only problem with this hotel is the location, the underground is at least 10 minutes walk away, Pimlico and Victoria line. There is also no shops nearby.
On the other hand, the location is very close to Big Ben and the parliament, so if that is your target, the location is great. Also, the neighbourhood is very quiet.
All in all, this is a hotel I will come back too!

From the moment my husband and myself arrived we where treated like VIP's. the room we got had a large shower w/c room. and although the bedroom was a bit smaller there was still room for me to manouver my wheelchair, every room at the city inn has a desk and a imac in and free internet connection if like me you wanted to use the internet while hubby used the imac to watch tv (which includes sky sports) i brought a long my laptop getting on to the internet was no problem, if you don't have a wireless card you can borrow a caple from reception which you can connect in your room to your laptop,
Our hotel package also included a full cooked english breakfast. which i must say was excellent, the waiter/ waitress's were attentive to our every need yet they were not intrusive or overbearing. the staff in general are all very polite and helpful. the food in the city inn is delicious and the best i have ever tasted at any hotel i have stayed in before. the Al a Carte menu is a must you can get 3 course dinner for £21.00 which is excellent value in london. after a long tiring day out we opted to use room service one evening . I got a huge plate of spag bol with garlic ciabbata which was only £8.50 and i thought this was excellent value.
the hotel its's self is done in a cotempary style and is very light and clean, rooms are cleaned daily, towels are changed twice a day every room has a tea, coffee making facility a hair dryer and an iron and ironing board there is also a safety vault in your room for keeping valubles safe.
city inn is central to everything in London we walked to most places like the london eye, Buckingham Palace, The Houses of Parliment and Westminster Abbey. the Tate Britain is just a 5 minute stroll up John Islip Street and from there you can get a ferry to tate modern. buses run frequently from horse ferry road and millbank, and if you are disabled i would say make London your next holiday destination as all london buses are ramped and have easy access also i was told by each bus driver that because i was in a wheelchair i could travel free! All the kerbs have been lowered on the main route though we did find a few in back streets that hadn't.
all in all if i had to give a score the i would give 10/10 Theme: HotelPhone: b_newby@sky.comDirections: from horseferry road turn in to dean ryle street carry on in to john islip street, the city inn is just a short was up on the left.
