I would say my priorities are room, then location (access to public transit, local places to eat), then extras like breakfast/lounge.

Park Lane Hilton
Metropole
Tower Bridge
Bankside is good, good rooms, good breakfast, good lounge ( evening snacks have been reduced since a few years ago). Main disadvantage is the relatively poorer transport links. It is close to the southbank of the thames and the southwark tube station ( jubilee line ) or london bridge station.
Conrad is in a good location for Westminster/St James's park although some rooms may have some street traffic noise

Last time my wife and I were in London, which was probably September or so of 2019, we stayed in the Park Lane and loved it. The location is great, across the street from Hyde Park and a bit farther from St. James Park. Lots of restaurants and tourist spots are a short walk. Great staff, like we asked the concierge for transportation help to get to Devon and they gave us some options then set it up.
