Guest Reviews
- Harley (10/5): -
- Ivana (10/5): - The best receptioner Neel, thank you!
- mohammed (8/5): -
- lucy (9/5): -
- Elena (8/5): -
- Andrea (6/5): Bello - Posizione buona
La colazione la facevamo fuori
Doccia comoda Stanza un pò piccola per tre persone, e non sono amante della moquette
- Maria (6/5): - well located, clean, friendly staff Tiny room with very small bed under the roof with no view. Ok for a (small) person but I found the value for money quite suboptimal.
- Lorinda (10/5): Loved the place, once we warmed up! - The room was well decorated, the shower was great, The location was great for walking to most of the locations we wanted to visit, We even felt very safe walking back to the hotel at night. I was so impressed at how clean the streets and sidewalks were everywhere we walked. The heat was set at too low a temperature, or was not on at all the first 2 nights, but after going down to the front desk they set the temperature up to where it was more comfortable, and after the second night it remained at the temp we requested for the rest of our stay.
- Suzie (10/5): Ideal - Extremely pleased with this hotel, amazing value for money. The room was compact but absolutely spotless and really comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. It was the best hotel I’ve stayed in on a budget and is in a great location. Very clean, cosy and comfortable.
- Abdulla (8/5): -
- David (1/5): -
- Jean (6/5): A box room in the attic - Central location Unacceptably small room up many flights of stairs with no lift, poor value for money
- Rebecca (9/5): - Clean and attractive place We were in the basement so no view or daylight.
- Olivier (8/5): - Good quality/price for London. The lobby is a bit deceptive compared to the pictures, but the staff has been very great and helpful and the room, though small, are very confortable which is the most important We had some bugs in the room but the staff did all that it could to help us and suggested a discount to compensate. This was very much appreciated.

- William (9/5): -
- Elspeth (9/5): - L'emplacement à côté des Gares de Victoria et metro + bus était idéal.
La chambre était très bien décorée et le lit super confortable.
La salle de bains parfait avec une bonne pression dans la douche.
... et un détail, le sèche cheveux était installé juste à côté d'un miroir. Bien pensé!
Le personnel était très accueillant et nous avons pu laisser nos bagages le jour du check-out gratuitement (vs £15 à la consigne de la gare). Cela méritait le petit detour le soir pour les récupérer.

- Lorraine (8/5): -
- Markus (8/5): Nice break in a warm hotel in a quite and residential area - Posizione ed atmosfera oltre a staff gentile e disponibile L‘unica piccola osservazione che si può fare è che uno dei dispenser del bagno era vuoto (Hand/body Lotion)
- Alice (10/5): -
- Ana (9/5): ❤️ - The location was perfect, also the view 🤗 Perfect for two days stay!
- Neil (8/5): Would stay again but in a bigger room. Overall though very good. - Location, cleanliness, decor, staff. Cramped room.
- Alexandra (8/5): - Lage
- Kellie (6/5): - Close to Victoria Station Very noisy. Walls are not soundproof. Could hear everything from other people's rooms clearly. People coming in late at night and early in the morning. Hard to sleep.
- Isabella (9/5): Excelente estada - Habitaciones limpias, cama muy cómoda. El hotel está muy cerca de la Victoria Station, lo que facilita mucho el transporte. Estábamos en el último andar del hotel y las vistas eran muy bonitas. La habitación, como esperado, era bien pequeña. Pero, además de eso, faltaban ganchos o algo para dejar las toalhas penduradas así como tus pertenencias. Es importante tener en cuenta que no hay ascensor, así que hay que subir muchas escaleras. A nosotros nos tocó el último nivel, las vistas eran muy bonitas.

- Helin (9/5): -
- Francesco (10/5): -
- MIRELLA (9/5): Très très bien - La propreté Pas assesseur et la literie trop moue .
- JANE (9/5): - Great location, very helpful staff, and comfortable bed. Had problems with the remote. Could not even power off the TV. Staff had to assist.
- Rebecca (6/5): - This hotel is in a great position, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, with comfy beds and a great waterfall shower. Lovely cups in the room too. The room was very small, unable to get around one side of the double bed without bashing yourself on the mounted tv. It was a basement room which I didn't realise with a blackout over the window so no natural light and unable to open to get fresh air but i would definitely book a room in this hotel above ground floor as that was the only downfall really.

- Sergei (8/5): -
- Robert (10/5): A great place to stay and enjoy the sights of London - Amazing property and great staff as so helpful Nothing
- Paula (8/5): Perfect if you just need a place to stay. No extras here, but it was beautifully furnished, quiet, and convenient - Very clean, nicely furnished, comfortable bed. No lift was really the only issue. We had a few heavy bags to lift up 4 flights of narrow stairs. I’m not as young as I used to be.

- Andreea Mihaela (7/5): - Location They never clean the rooms. My bin had trash before checking in the room. It was very smelly and they did not bother to clean. I guess I had to aak, but it is unprofessional to expect the guest to do something that any hotel does
- Antonio M (8/5): Muy bien para el precio - Ubicación, cercanía al centro No se limpió la habitación en los cuatro días de estancia
- Andrea (10/5): Maravilloso. - Precioso hotel, muy limpio y bien decorado. La zona es preciosa. Personal muy amable y atento. El desayuno es mejorable; esperaba desayuno inglés, mas variedad con quesos y demás.
- Tatiana (10/5): - L'emplacement est très pratique pour accéder aux différents attractions. L’hôtel se trouve environ 10 minutes à pied de la gare routière et de la station de métro. Le quartier est très beau et calme. Le lit était confortable et l’accueil excellent. Personnellement, nous avons trouvé la chambre un peu petite , mais pour Londres, cela reste une taille normale. L'insonorisation n'est pas idéale et on entend les voisins.
- Nanci (9/5): Easy to get around London using the underground, bus, or rail from the hotel. - Close to Victoria Station and theatres No lift
- kristi (7/5): - Loved the hotel. The charm was amazing. The staff outstanding. No lift, but understand why.
- Svetlana (7/5): -
- Robert (9/5): -
- Mariana (8/5): Excellent location for short stays - The location is excellent, with easy access to the city center's main attractions by walking or public transport. 24h reception makes check-in/check-out very easy and convenient. Staff are friendly and helpful. The room was very small (fine for short stays, but may be an issue for travellers staying longer than 2-3 days and/or groups). There is no elevator, which I knew before making the reservation, but climbing several flights of stairs after a long day exploring is tiring. Some noise from adjacent rooms and street, but nothing excessive.
- Eleanor (9/5): Lovely hotel in close proximity to everything in London. - Gorgeous property in a great location, about 10 mins walk from Victoria. Staff were super helpful and available 24hr in reception.
- Racha (8/5): -
- Melinda (8/5): Boutique gem in a great location - Beautifully done-up terrace house with a boutique feel. All staff were super friendly and obliging with accommodating our needs and calling a cab. Rooms were comfortable, and loved the tiny details in the bathroom. The rooms are on the small side especially with luggage open on the ground. There could be a range of pillow options as they were all very soft and flat.
- Olga (9/5): Ottima esperienza - Posizione eccellente, le attrazioni principali facilmente raggiungibili a piedi e comunque, il posto è ben collegato. Letti comodi, si dorme bene. Ottimo WiFi. Tanti buoni ristorantini, pub e supermercati attorno. Stuff molto gentile e disponibile. Hanno offerto colazione ai bambini. Come quasi tutti edifici di quell'epoca non ha un ascensore, ma nel nostro caso non era grave avendo soltanto gli zaini. Ci hanno comunque proposto di portarli su dallo stuff. La stanza da 3 era un po piccola, ma usandola solo per dormire non era un problema.
- KATRIN (9/5): Nice surprise - Although I go often to London, I normally stay in other areas so when needing a Victoria hotel, I mainly booked just for the location and was positively surprised to find a cute, charming hotel with a small but comfortable room, windows that can be opened (important thing that Booking.com should specify), friendly staff and a perfect location. Bedside reading light was rather too weak.
- PERIAN LDA (5/5): -
- Ivaylo (10/5): - The hotel is wonderful. Very good location in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood.The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need. The breakfast was very good. We will stay again on our next visit to London. Thank you.
- Alfred (9/5): Pleasant and very well located to our needs - Location Uncomfortable bed, and clothes hangers did not come off its rails
- Adam (4/5): 😔 - Pas grand chose Not much Chambre très petite située au sous-sol, literie très molle, plafond très bas… Aucun charme particulier, l’ensemble reste très banal. Très déçu.
Very small room located in the basement, very soft mattress, very low ceiling… No particular charm at all, overall very plain and ordinary. Very disappointed.
- Ian (10/5): Excellent value for money, friendly, helpful staff. Ideal for lone or group travellers for work or pleasure - Every single staff member was helpful, friendly and assisted with one of our guest's additional mobility needs without having ti be asked. They even accommodated a ground floor room at check in. Nothing
- gagik (5/5): - Breakast is cerials and couple of cheap cheese, not even eggs. Overall for a room that coats chf 350chf, this is not serious.
- Angela (9/5): Todo muy limpio, ubicación estupenda y todo el personal muy agradable. Nos tocó la habitación de la última planta, se es - La localización No tenía ascensor
- natalia (9/5): - Прекрасний персонал готовий швидко та професійно вирішувати всі питання!
Зручне розташування помешкання неподалік станції Вікторія дозволяє пересуватися містом виключно громадським транспортом. Поруч театри та ресторани. Відсутність ліфту може стати проблемою для літніх людей або туристів з дітьми
- Deborah (8/5): -
- Davide (9/5): -
- Gastaud (6/5): Bien mais pas du 3* - Amabilité des réceptionnistes
Situation géographique Le bruit de perceuse la nuit, la chambre était minuscule on ne passait pas entre les lits.
Les fenêtres qui ne s’ouvrent pas l’impression d’étouffer.
Les rideaux qui ne fermaient pas bien donc la lumière du jour qui passe d’un côté..
Le ménage n’est pas fait d’un jour sur l’autre (il fallait le demander!)….
- MARILANDA (8/5): - La posizione e la gentilezza dello staff Camera molto piccola e priva di sedie o punti d'appoggio. Un solo pouf in una tripla..
- andrea (8/5): -
- amandine (9/5): - une belle organisation de l espace pour rendre pratique cette petite chambre et une decoration soignée le choix dans ce qui est proposé au petit dejeuner. j'ai préféré le prendre à l'extérieur
- Paul (8/5): -
- selina (9/5): - They had luggage storage which was the reason we booked so we could explore London before check in.
The hotel was cool with the lounge and the rooms. Liked how clean and modern the bathrooms were. And check in started at 1:30pm. They didn’t have a lift to get to 4th floor but we get it, it’s an old building.
- Nathalie (4/5): - Emplacement 3 jours sur place
Arrivée dessus de lit sale
Pas de ménage pendant le séjour

- Patricia (7/5): - Location was good. Pubs & restaurants down the road.
Ten minute walk from Victoria Station. Staff were very helpful. Very tiny room, bathroom even smaller. No lift, narrow staircases.
- April (8/5): -
- Dolores (7/5): - Die Lage war sehr gut und ruig sehr kleine und enge Zimmer und sehr ringhörig
- Neil (8/5): Overall very good. A few minor quibbles. - Location. Facilities. Decor. Some confusion at reception desk. The person who was checking the room left for lunch without telling me so I had to sit there for nearly 20 minutes. Room was cramped.

- Sadhbh (8/5): - Good location - short walk to Victoria station. Staff on reception always nothing but friendly and accommodating. Small room but had everything we needed and nice and clean. Good value for money for our short stay in London. We had a ground floor as we had a baby and buggy but there is no lift in the hotel.
