I was pleasantly surprised when staying here. I stay often in London for a night for work, and this has been the best so far. It was so clean when I first walked in and I was welcomed warmly, which I was not often used to staying in London where the check-in process is usually quite clinical. The lady who checked me in was so friendly and helpful, I couldnt have asked for better. I booked the single economy room which was perfect for what I needed, and I really appreciated the tea and coffee facility in the room. The water was hot for the taps and showers almost straight away, everything was clean and tidy. I would absolutely stay again.

My flight from Paris got cancelled so I took a last minute day trip to London, on the bus I found this hotel for one night for a really good price around 50 dollars for a single room, while on my way to London the day before on the bus, upon arrival Tammy was very kind in assisting me, seeing check in is at 2pm I was very early arriving at 7:30am and wanted to only wanted to drop off my luggage while I wait for the room to be ready, I guess the room I booked wasn’t available and she was sweet enough to let me stay in the luxury 3 bed room and check in early which I really appreciated since it was raining and I hadn’t had any sleep the day prior due to travelling, the room itself is beautiful and very classic, clean, and the shower was nice, I felt right at home and didn’t want to leave if I didn’t have to leave the next day I would have booked another stay if possible, the hotel is located in a very great location close to almost everything by train and some by walk and the neighborhood is beautiful, I will say it’s very quiet hotel, not much foot traffic so if you are expecting a hotel you can party in with your friends after a long night out this is not it, I prefer the quietness after a nights out or in general so if you do too this will be the hotel for you, thank you Tammy and making my day and first time in London a comfortable stay, I will be sure to book this hotel and make this my go to any time I come back to London when given the chance

The Hotel is located in an attractive part of London . Very close to Pimlico underground. The 24 bus service route goes through central London . Facilities close by are mini market shops, cafes and a local pub . The Hotel room was ensuite with TV , tea and coffee supplied and excellent value for the price . My friend had a similar room and she was also very happy with her stay . We would certainly stay and Blades Hotel again when next in London .

Blades Hotel is a perfect combination of location and quality. It’s in an easy walk to multiple transit lines, as well as major and local attractions. My single room provided more than enough space for my stay and my weeks’ worth of luggage. Extremely clean and up to date. The staff (Tammy in particular) are welcoming, communicative, and a great resource for help navigating London. I would highly recommend this hotel for adventurous travelers who also like a clean and comfortable room when they return.

A Truly Welcoming Stay!

This may not be the biggest or most luxurious hotel, but the warmth you feel here is something many 5-star places can’t offer. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine smiles of Magdalena and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home instantly from staff too.
The cleaners deserve a special mention — they keep everything spotless, fresh, and comfortable every single day. Their kindness and attention to detail really stand out.
If you’re looking for a clean, friendly, and truly inviting place to stay, this hotel is a little hidden gem. I would happily come back again! 🌟
Thank you

I was pleasantly surprised when I stepped into the hotel out of the cold. The temperature was warm as was the atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel room had all that I needed for a comfortable stay - attention to detail, spotlessly clean, lots of (quality) tea, coffee, and milk, and comfortable bed. I had a great nights sleep and was refreshed for my onward journey the following morning. Great value for money and Blades will be my first choice when visiting London next. Thank you

The establishment was decent and located conveniently, though one small downside is that they don’t allow you to store luggage after checkout, which was a bit inconvenient. Tammy was absolutely wonderful. She went above and beyond to help me out when I had to book at the last minute, and she made an unplanned situation much easier to handle. Thanks to her, it was a smooth experience overall!

My ranking of staff and service is based on the service we received in the latter part of our stay ....we spent quite a few nights there.The first staff member we met was very abrupt and unfriendly. The 2 young women for the latter part were the opposite and seemed interested and very helpful to all guests not just us. If my review was to be based on our first impressionson it would be not to stay there but 2 young women changed that. They were interested in the guests asking about plans and contributing suggestions. I would not like to see 2 amazing young women penalised in any way for the actions of another staff member.

Staff were great, friendly and very professional. The room although small was very comfortable! I think it was a house in the past because it feels like you’re staying in a house. It’s not haunted as far as I could tell but since it is Victorian it wouldn’t surprise me (and it feels like it should be)haha. Huge deal for me was they had an electric kettle and coffee in the room! Rather quaint in that the room key is an old school skeleton key. Neighborhood is great, close to food and the tube so pretty easy to get around. It’s in the pimlico area of Westminster so pretty nice neighborhood. I’ll definitely stay there again the next time I’m in London! My advice is take the tube from kings crossing to pimlico station it will save you about £40

I had seen some complaints about this hotel beforehand calling the street-facing rooms noisy and the rooms themselves way too cramped. I can say we didn't have either of these issues, and instead had quite a nice time at the Blades Hotel! The room we had was definitely on the smaller side per person, but we were able to fit four people into three beds without any issues. We also didn't notice any noise or lose any sleep despite being in a room with a large window facing the road. Besides that, the Pimlico area was lovely and we enjoyed the many local restaurants and parks. And the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, a nice hotel, great if you would like a straightforward place to stay in a nice neighborhood while still having easy access to major London attractions.

Easy walk from Plimlico tube. Staff pleasant -stayed two nights and room cleaned in between. On top floor which may cause access problems for less abled. Room was small which just accommodated double bed. On-suite even smaller -required acrobatic flexibility to use! Relatively quite for London, and I suppose relatively inexpensive ?

Tired and basic.

The reception staff we welcoming but this hotel was very tired in decor and finish. Plug sockets were difficult to reach behind tables for instance and the kettle had to be placed on the floor due to short cable. Floor was uneven and squeaky. The finish in the rooms needed refreshed and in need of an upgrade. I’ve stayed in similar hotels in this area for a similar price point over last year and recently. This one had the lowest standard of rooms.

The Blades Hotel is a very comfortable small hotel within walking distance of the Victoria Railway Station (~15 mins) and very close to the Pimlico Underground station. The stop for Bus #24 is nearly adjacent to the hotel, another added convenience. The rooms are small by 21st Century standards but typical for central London hotels. Our room was very clean and quiet. Staff at the Reception Desk were very friendly. My wife and I stayed 2 nights at the Blades Hotel and were very comfortable.
