Hotel Westminster

I remember staying in a budget hostel in Bruges with a sign on the wall as you went upstairs to bed: “When you’re asleep, this looks like the Hilton”. That’s very much true of the Tune Hotel in Westminster Bridge Road.

Or perhaps they could have said “When you’re asleep this feels like the Hilton.” Tune Hotels takes pride in providing ‘five star beds at one star prices’; and although I did my very best to emulate the fairytale princess and the pea, I had a very comfortable night at the hotel.
I was staying in one of the hotel’s three special needs rooms previously featured on this blog. They’re a bit larger than the normal rooms as they need enough room for a wheelchair to get around comfortably – but apart from that they’re designed pretty much the same as the other rooms. London hotels need more good accessible rooms of this standard.
A wooden floor and big mirrors help open up the space, along with a rather nice custom-designed wallpaper in light green, to give a fresh and spacious feel to what is actually quite a small room. On a sweltering day in London, the air conditioning was particularly welcome. Interestingly, this is a feature on which Tune Hotels UK has agreed to differ with its Malaysian parent – air con is standard in London and not an added extra.
