Great location near Victoria Station, clean tiny room and tiny bathroom, very unappetizing breakfast room in basement and we skipped breakfast altogether. Front desk staff friendly and helpful!

Very good accommodation and location for the price paid. Room was compact but very clean with good shower and bathroom facilities. Kettle and tea/coffee in room was great to have.
Checkin and departure was smooth, with friendly front desk staff who are on hand 24 hrs. Would definitely recommend

For London, clean and excellent location. Staff was excellent and wonderful to accommodate. On the downside, breakfast is ok and the fan in the room needs to be dusted.

Excellent staff allowed us to leave our bags until our room was ready for an early check-in. Only downside was the fan in the room which was loud and didn’t help cool the room down at all sadly.

Great location near Victoria station, shopping, dining, and areas of interest. The only issue was the lack of air conditioning as we visited when it was hot and humid. Otherwise it was a great experience.

The staff at this hotel were amazing. They were friendly and so helpful, BUT this hotel is dated and the twin room I was in was very small, as in I just had a few feet on one side of the bed. The location was good and I felt safe and was walkable to the sites I wanted to visti.
