Excellent Accommodations.

The proprietor and his daughter were helpful with directions and suggestions, friendly and funny in sharing stories. Housekeeping left me extra hand soap without me asking. I'd stay again if given the opportunity.

Great stay, great location.

Perfect for overnight stay! Small room, but offers everything you need, with a decent sized shower and storage facilities. Informative staff, and feels safe and secure. Stairs are manageable, but no lift option. Great value and a great stay.

To be fair....not bad

I walked into the place and it smelt like an old peoples home. Once I checked in and made my way to the room, I was pleasantly suprised. My room was lean and airy, I had a balcony room that I could not use due to health and safety (clearly knob heads that don't know not to throw themselves off!). The shower was either baltic or hell there was no in between. Overall I would stay here again for the money. on the 2nd night I did have people banging their doors until about 23:30 but after that was as quiet as a mouse,

Great small family owned hotel

Another great stay at Melbourne House. Hotel is clean and exceptionally well maintained, offering exactly enough for a comfortable stay without the unnecessary expense of some hotels. I stayed on the top floor which is a considerable distance up the stairs and there is no lift. This was clearly stated before booking so this is in no way a complaint, merely an observation for others to be aware of. I liked the exercise 👍👍 Location is ideal, very close to the tube station and not too far a walk from Victoria railway station too. Quiet street and nice neighbourhood. I have stayed before and have already booked in for my next trip. Owners are really nice and welcoming.

Good stay

Clean property. Reasonably quiet with the windows closed. Near public transpo and walking distance to shops / Westminster. Good neighbourhood. No elevators, so caution if you have mobility issues or have heavy luggage.

Wonderful family-run hotel located in a cute part of London (Pimlico) that is well situated and connected to the underground and regional trains. The room was perfect for just two and has all the basic necessities. Very clean and basic house keeping provided daily. The owners were very friendly and accommodating and were happy to provide local recommendations. They also allow you to keep luggage at the hotel after checkout which was very convenient for a later flight. Wonderful stay and would happily recommend to friends and family for future stays!

A very noisy room due mainly to the various shower pumps which when anybody showered caused a tremendous motor noise! Very annoying at two o’clock in the morning. Not the best hotel for a good nights sleep.
