It's my girlfriends birthday in a month and I want to take her to London for a night.
I'm new to this relationship malarky, although I am getting the hang of it and am trying to impress.

We're both young (18 and 22), Ideally I'd like somewhere with a nice view, be in close proximity of some nice things to do in the day and maybe have a spa or something for her?

Budget's not massively huge although I do want to treat her.

Any suggestions?

The Savoy have some good deals including bed, breakfast and dinner for around £300 if you can make it a week night.
Granted it's not Premier Inn cheap but pound-for-pound it's definitely worth it.
Your knob will get worn to a stump.

I'm a big fan of the Swisshotel Howard on the North Bank, right on the bend by Temple tube.

River view rooms get a view all the way up to Battersea one way, and Canary Wharf the other. Also probably the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in, and very nice, professional staff. None of the fawning you get at the more famous places. Although I have to admit I can be a fan of that too!

Thanks, I was thinking more about £200 max though. I'd prefer to leave myself some pennies to spend in the daytime smile

Malmaison?
They have some decent offers that could save you some cash & gain you brownie points, and also have a decent spa.
Sundays are very good value - if you spend £75 in the restaurant the room is £25 (although for the london one, I suspect that figure will be inflated slightly, but still good value)

The Swisshotel place is from around £80 (garden view room) to £200ish a night. Or more if you want a suite etc, obviously.

You won't get a room at the ME for sub £200, but is is worth splashing out.
Make sure you're in reception for 8pm for the light show.

The OH and I went to the South Place Hotel about a month ago which was a real treat, would highly recommend it. It is a couple of minutes walk from Liverpool St so nice and central too.

Is your budget £200 for the weekend or for the night? Even a Travelodge is £82 a night in London nowadays.

Try the Tower Hotel by Guoman. It's right next to St Katherine's Dock and the iconic Tower Bridge (which the bar and many bedrooms face on to).

Reasonable price, nice decor and good food and importantly you're very central. And I'd imagine it to be romantic.

Quirky, comfortable and the epitome of cool with excellent restaurants and chill out spaces - albeit no spa

Out in Chiswick but just around the corner from Turnham Green tube, so very accessible too.

I went there with my missus when I was younger, went down really well, got river view. Breakfast I recall was quite expensive so we went to Smiths of Smithfields and had a massive plate of fry-up while they played chill out music in the background, sounds unromantic but we loved it. I seem to recall an offer on lastminute.com at the time. She's now my wife so I think it kind of worked.

Oh do leave off
It's old dated and the breakfast is grim.

But it is in a good location
