⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Stay

From the moment we checked in, Alex and Mark made us feel genuinely welcome. Their friendly, attentive service made our stay memorable, and nothing was too much trouble.

The Griffin Belle is a beautiful listed building full of character and charm. If you want an authentic London stay instead of a standard chain hotel, this is the perfect choice.

Our room was spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed. Breakfast was excellent, and the hotel offers fantastic value for money. It’s also in a great location, with easy access to central London by Tube and plenty within walking distance.

A special thank you to Emile in the kitchen. The food was exceptional throughout our stay. We enjoyed the Sunday roast while watching the World Cup Final in the bar, and it was one of the best we’ve had—freshly cooked, generous and full of flavour.

What really sets The Griffin Belle apart is the people. Alex, Mark, Emile and the whole team made us feel like friends rather than guests, and we even left having made a new friend.

Thank you all for making our weekend so special. We can’t recommend The Griffin Belle highly enough and will definitely be staying again on our next trip to London.

The gentleman who checked us in and showed us to our rooms, could have been a proprietor, regarding the extreme professionalism, high attention to detail, and overwhelming sense of welcoming that he greeted us with. My wife and I stayed there with two more members of our family in a separate room, and our rooms were top-notch, and also all of the service staff treated us great. Easy walk down the riverfront to all of the main tourist spots, and neighborhood felt safe. The breakfast was great, all of the food we tried was actually. Highly recommend.

We arrived in the first heat wave of May. They had new AC units but unfortunately they blew a fuse so our room was a hot box. The staff were excellent though, very understanding and helpful. Since our AC and Window did not open, they had 1 room left they could switch us to where the window did open. That was appreciated! The restaurant below has great deals and we took advantage of BOGO 50% burgers and 50% a bottle of prosecco on Friday. They also offer to hold onto your luggage incase you need that service. It’s a very cool hotel!

The room could do with some updating, as the carpet had a few stains and the walls looked like they hadn’t been painted in a while. However, the location was great for the embassy and the underground station was only a short walk away. Overall, we would stay here again if needed. Breakfast had a small selection on offer,

The location of this hotel is excellent! There is a bus stop at one end of the street and the underground station just around the corner on the other end. There's a huge grocery store beside the underground station as well.

We could get to any tourist site in the city in under 30 min easily. The pub that is below the hotel is also super handy if you want to have lunch or dinner. Breakfast was good and there was a menu to select from for the hotel guests.

The staff were all so friendly and helpful as well.

There were stairs to get to the rooms and the staff offered to carry our luggage. Our room was small, but had everything that we needed. There is a school right next door, but it wasn't very noisy and we were usually heading out just as the students were arriving.

We would highly recommend this location for tourists; it's easy to get into the popular areas, and the pricing is reasonable.

Very comfortable room, good options for breakfast, great friendly staff and ideally located for the centre of London as it’s just around the corner from Nine Elms tube station.

Only downside is the stairs to the rooms, it’s an old building and the stairs are steep, which if you struggle with mobility could be a problem but for most people it’s fine.

Having said that, we would definitely stay here again the next time we are in London

The room cleanliness was greatly lacking - the bed throw and cushions were heavily stained, and the carpets needed a thorough vacuum.

The room was extremely warm despite the radiator being off; the fan provided just circulated warm air, and we were unable to open the window.

There were four bottles of conditioner but no hand soap or shower gel, and none arrived even though we had asked for some.

We booked this room based on the excellent reviews, particularly rating the cleanliness, however we feel it was poor value for money and would definitely not stay again, nor recommend to others.

Quirky little hotel. Reasonable size room. Could do with a lick of paint, but clean. Nice shower room. One of the windows was very poorly fitting, so when it was windy, the wind whistled through and was very noisy. Bed was comfortable but the pillows were not - very lumpy and old. I would have complained if we had a longer stay. Very good breakfast. Good location near to buses and underground. OK for the money.

The staff were very friendly and the place was cute, the food wasn’t that great and our room was on the top floor up 8 flights of tiny narrow stairs! It was truly a nightmare trying to get our luggage up. The room was so tiny we had to store our luggage in the shower. It was quite cramped and the ventilation was poor. There was a window in the ceiling that could be opened but it was raining and this just got our bed wet. The staff were fantastic always offered us a beverage on the house for our exhaustive haul with our luggage.

The room was very small. You cant unpack, you open your suitcase get what you need, pack what you dont then figure out where to put the suitcase so its not in the way.
No elevator and rooms are on the second floor and the ground floor has high ceilings.
No AC, so it can grt warm in the summer.

Was a good stay overall. Unfortunatley the weather was very hot and as there is no AC the room was extremly warm for one of the nights. Other than that it's a nice wee hotel. Michelle was a great hostess and obviously works very hard to ensure all her customers are looked after. All the staff were very friendly. Good location for getting about London and for us it was very handy for Wimbeldon.

Too hot to sleep.

Nothing they could do with how hot it was in London but the room had no air conditioning and no fan on the hottest day of the year. Window in the bedroom couldn’t open and the one in the bathroom had no privacy from the overlooking building site. I asked for a glass of water with some ice and they had no ice in the pub.

Room was unbearable to sleep in. No fridge in the room either.

The hotel's proximity to public transport (Nine Elms and Vauxhall) was advantageous. The room was adequately sized and clean; the king-size bed was comfortable, though the single bed was not. Breakfast was substantial and satisfying. Michelle provided excellent and attentive service. However, I wish to bring two matters to the owner's attention. The lack of an operable window resulted in poor air circulation. Secondly, while acknowledging the building's age, the provision of portable air conditioning units in each room is recommended, as the existing fans are insufficient. Despite these issues, I would recommend this hotel.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Griffin Belle last week! From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, helpful, and full of great local tips — they really made our stay extra special.

Our room was clean, comfy, and quiet — just what we needed after travelling — and the location couldn’t have been more convenient. We had early morning appointments at the US Embassy, and being just a 10-minute walk away made everything so easy and stress-free.

The pub downstairs is a real highlight too — buzzing atmosphere, great food, and friendly service (special thanks to the team behind the bar!). It’s rare to find somewhere that gets both the comfort and character just right, but the Griffin Belle absolutely does. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!
