Booked on 50k points. Cheapest rate would've been 180 GBP for a standard room. Might be related to London Fashion week. Unfortunately I cannot find any 2for1 rates in this hotel not for this stay not in the future

Gold treatment:
  • Room with no view at all
  • 1 bottle of still water. Glass bottle. Branded after the name of the hotel (!)
  • Small plate with some fruits
  • No lounge access
  • No free breakfast

The good:
  • Location!!!
  • Comfortable, modern, functional room that also feels expensive
  • Flat-screen TV is above work desk, can be seen form the work desk
  • Tea and coffee making facilities
  • Bath and separate shower
  • Fast internet, about 5 Mbit/s from each of my devices. Completely free everywhere in the hotel, unlimited number of devices, no authentication
  • Great room service, much better than on average
  • Nice pool, especially considering location!

On the negative side is breakfast. I didn't like it. Overcrowded, only Full English part of the breakfast. I was redirected from overcrowded main restaurant to a large meeting room. Queues, slow restocking. No cold cuts, no fresh juices, no fish whatsoever. I pre-paid GBP 12 at check-in and was not happy. There are quite a few places nearby to have better breakfast for less. Staff could have been more positive but again... this is central London with no UK based staff.

I would definitely stay again if that location would be handy. This is the best and most luxury Park Plaza I've stayed at so far.
