Simple, did its purpose

Reception staff were very friendly! This hotel was a roof over my head for the night. You pay for what you get. It could do with a few touches up like a lick of pain, a good cleaning in the showers and some new extension cords that aren’t hit and miss. It’s about 8 min drive from the US Embassy, and a 14 min walk from Victoria Coach Station.

Fine for basic travel

Friendly and helpful receptionists and the hotel felt safe and clean. Hot water from the shower was intermittent though - at over £100 a night you want basics like this to be spot on, even in SW1.

Ok but cold room

Room was icy cold when I arrived. There was an electronic radiator, but I wasn't turned on. It took a lot of time to get the room to such temperature that I could take a shower. Room was quite dated, but clean. Matress hurt my hip and the blanket was oddly narrow, so it was hard to get under the blanket and fully covered to get a good night sleep in the cold room. Hotel doesn't have a luggage storage.

Lovely friendly people and homely environment. Cold downstairs family room but remedied with free standing heaters. Good location for central London. Noisy phone ringing from 5am and could hear rumbling of train, so needed earplugs. As a last minute booking though was 'good enough'. Allowed for me to have a bit of flexibility with my checkout time.

I didnt like that the bathroom was down the hallway and not in our room. We were not informed of that until we got to the room. The heaters didnt work and the room was very cold. The employee brought in a portable heater for us to use. The room was not worth the price we paid.

Stayed here as its close to the US embassy and it was so convenient. The hotel is in a busy part of London so prices elsewhere can be quite pricey but prices at Blade are reasonable for the no frills accomodation- clean, super friendly staff and well maintained tooms. Its a few minutes walk from the Pimlo tube station and at least 15 -20 minute walk to Nine Elms. Highly recommend.

Great stay for a few nights. Rooms are small, and there is no lift, if you need one. But staff was very friendly and accommodating. There is free parking on the street on weekends and over night if you can find a spot. We got lucky! Close to tube.
