Absolutely great value. Room was really clean and the air-con was effective and quiet enough. Ice available in the lobby and disposable cutlery so great for takeaway and prinks in the room. The one negative was the breakfast, which was so-so, but for a reasonably-priced room in Central London with free breakfast, I am not complaining!

Air conditioning in the whole building which is not advertised, 24 hrs complementary coffee at the lobby, free upgrade to a nicer and bigger room. Location is perfect just one block from the Victoria station. Easy to find the hotel. Walking distance to Buckingham Palace and the river bank. The only consideration would be the price of the hotel. It’s really pricey as compared to the hotel in other locations. We need to stay closer to the station because our flight from Gatwick is really early. There’s a direct express train from Victoria station to Gatwick in 1/2 hours. And our coach from Winchester is also arrived at this location making it ideal for an overnight stay.

The hotel was an 8-minute walking distance to the Victoria Underground, which was perfect. There is a pub up the street if you are interested, and lots of restaurant options around as well.

It's quiet enough at night, and even though the train station is directly across the street, you barely hear it.

We did not pay extra for the breakfast so cannot rate that. The team was very helpful especially since all London was freaking out over the heat wave and we did appreciate the ac. Beds were not the greatest but were ok. The bathroom was very small and not well designed. They had a soap/shampoo combo and no conditioner. The property is close by Victoria so that is a plus. Overall 8/10.

Greeted by very helpful front desk staff. In view of my walking with a stick we were given a room very near to the lift….but you could not hear the lift 😊. Information useful for our stay readily given.
The Aircon was good but the real bonus was an opening window.
Breakfast was a very good continental spread with something for everyone and continuously replenished. Complimentary coffee was available in the lobby all day as well as a nice selection in the room.
It was in a very central position just a couple of minutes walk from Victoria Rail and Coach Stations, providing easy bus access too. The front desk staff were also very helpful re directions and about getting a taxi.
Would definitely recommend and also stay again ourselves.. well done!!

This hotel is in a great location close to the bus and train station, shopping and restaurants. We had a room for 3 of us and it was small with not much extra room for our luggage. In addition, we arrived 3 hours before check-in time and they accommodated us. I would definitely stay here again.

Ideal location close to Victoria tube station and easy access to the ground buses if using. Not a lot of shopping near by but there were grocery stores available for water etc
There are two buildings that are part of the hotel. The main building has the front desk and breakfast. You will need to cross the street to get to the second building.
Please be aware that these two buildings are NEXT TO THE TRAIN TRACKS. Although this did not bother us much, those who need a quiet night are not going to get it here.
Our room had everything we needed (double pillows for my husband and we were able to borrow a UK adapter for our c paps).
The staff are wonderfully helpful! When we needed directions to touring attractions and tube service to Heathrow.
We would stay at this location again if we return to London.

De manière général, l’hotel est bien, mais sans plus. La chambre était simple et petite, mais propre et confortable. On entend un peu les trains passer, mais personnellement ça ne m’a pas dérangé. Je dirais que ça convient pour une nuit quand on veut simplement être près de la gare Victoria, mais j’irais ailleurs pour un plus long séjour.

The hotel is in a great location. It’s walking distance to Buckingham palace and other sites. It’s very close to Victoria Coach station where many tours originate. You can also walk down to the Thames and catch the Uber boat at Battersea. However, it’s also directly next to the train tracks so you hear the trains 24 hours a day. As expected, it’s an older property so the rooms are quite small and the bathroom is very tight. The windows don’t seal shut properly so you do hear a lot of street and train noise. Bring earplugs is you’re a light sleeper. The morning breakfast had a good selection.

Stayed 3 nights so it’s ok for a short trip. But don’t recommend for longer stays.

Pros: close to Victoria Station and Hop on/Hop off Tours. Breakfast was £11 but fairly good with plenty of options. Clean room.

Cons: Hard beds, hard pillows, windows are drafty and outside noise is very loud. Trains were so loud and even rumbled the bed at times. Rooms are quite small and no bathroom toiletries or even a wash cloth provided. Too many homeless around low to no lighting makes the area feel unsafe at night.

The air conditioning worked well. We had a great check-in experience. My wife and I were given an early check in after a bad day of travel and the man at the front desk even carried a heavy suitcase up a steep flight of stairs for us. That said, we had a tiny, though clean and comfortable room. Barely enough room for our suitcases. And as mentioned above, no elevator to the second floor.
