Thin walls, no sleep
Room was on the ground floor. Right next to the offices toilet, so I was woken up by the sound of the staff using the toilet. Then the room above awoke at 1am and made constant noise as the ceiling was so thin I felt like I was in their room. Eventually at 3am I asked to move rooms. Staff were good with accommodating this. But essentially, no warning from staff about the location of my room and paying for a room right next to the toilet and no sleep isnt acceptable.
You get what you pay for, or less. The location is good and convenient, but that’s about it. The hotel itself is not nice—rooms are extremely small, there’s no air conditioning, and it gets unbearably hot. They only provide a couple of old, dirty fans. The beds are terrible—very old and not clean—and the shower is just as bad. I would not stay here ever again. It did disappoint and diminished the whole trip to London.

It’s close to many restaurants and quiet area and beautiful too but the room has no aircons and it was in the basement very small not really much space to walk around the room and even the toilet door don’t open wide as bed is near …… cleaning was good and I got sound sleep
Very nice hotel, staff were friendly, beds were comfortable. No AC but that’s a lot of places in England so we knew that before going. They did have three fans in the room for us to use. Hotel is close to the buses, train stations and the two places they recommended to eat were amazing and should be tried.
Don’t stay here, don’t waste your money. No air conditioning, no fridge, even no facial tissue provided. In the room, there was one small electric fan. No space to open my luggage. The worst accommodation in my life compared what I paid(552 British pounds for 4 nights) from 6/22-26/2025.
This property was a right little gem, such a fantastic location nestled just a few minutes walk from both Victoria station & Pimlico station. Room was quiet, compact and clean. Staff were really friendly and beds were comfy. I'll definitely stay again if i'm back in London.
The initial service over message was great .reaponded fast ☺️.
They let me drop of my bike for the London - Brighton race while I took my car to Brighton .
They had 24/7 service so I could get my bike at 5am . They even left a note for someone to be there at 5 am so I could go to race .
DO NOT STAY HERE! This is a terrible property!
Their beds are old and have yellow stains on them. We stayed here this week and we informed the front office and the manager that the bed has yellow stains. They said they would change the room but they never did. The management did not do anything.
Noise- People bang into walls at night because the wall in between rooms is very thin like a paper.
The floors creak.
The water pressure in the shower is terrible.
The carpets are old and outdated.
I WOULD NEVER STAY HERE OR RECOMMEND ANYONE TO STAY HERE.
Very clean quiet hotel. Friendly staff. Luggage storage free of charge. Bus stop outside the door. Great location for walking to Victoria. Tiny room but all fine and comfortable. Very eco oriented and that was also a nice surprise as many places say they are but still change towels I’ve hung up to reuse. Lovely choice of breakfast spots nearby. Recommend Gail’s Bakery.
