6/10 Good

This little boutique hotel is warm and welcoming and close to public transit but in a nice quiet neighborhood. It’s more like staying in a friends guest room rather than a traditional hotel. The staff is amazing! Warm and attentive. We did find a used contact lens on the bathroom floor that was there for the next 3 days so I’m not sure how throughly the rooms are cleaned. The TV is laughably small and the satellite connection was spotty. Overall a pleasant experience but definitely not an upscale or traditional hotel experience.

Excellent cleanliness, comfortable bed. I arrived after reception closed, the owners knew this and arranged a safe place for key collection. Perfect for overnight stay.

6/10 Good

A clean but slightly shabby central venue. Reasonable price, as it was the cheapest in the area at the time I booked. The top floor room was cramped, and it was a struggle to find space for a case, clothes and bed cushions in order to retire. No breakfast facilities, perhaps it said on the listing, but it surprised me. In hindsight I'd pay more and stay more upmarket. The staff were friendly, even if I only interacted at check in and out. There aren't a lot of other services.

Lovely staff. Very friendly and helpful. Great location and very clean. Top floor room which was unbelievably hot during the heatwave, but they had thoughtfully provided 2 fans to try and help. Great value for money

Lovely greeting when I checked in. Every time I was going out for the day I was greeted by staff. One of the hottest weeks for the area and wasnt extremely hot inside the room. Not a far walk to all the sites. Quiet at night. Good food not far away and stores to grab stuff to take to the room right up the road.

I had the smallest room but it was fine for an overnight stay The staff were lovely and helped with an ironing board Comfy bed Shower water pressure not great so not the best shower experience - but a small point in the overall scheme of things Would definitely stay again

Nice historic property in an excellent location. Staff was wonderful. Rooms are small with limited storage. Bathrooms are small as well. Showers with occasional drop in water pressure due to old plumbing. Overall, nice stay and one of the few hotels that could accommodate four people with three separate beds.

The room, and the hotel were clean and quiet and the staff were really friendly. The hotel is in a reasonable area, a short walking distance from pubs, restaurants and shops, and an easy 20-30 minute walk to Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament. NB: There is no lift in the hotel, no breakfast room and no facility for luggage storage.

This is a very small hotel. The rooms are also small. Their sinks are even smaller. While the location is convenient, and the staff very helpful, the facility is bare bones. It is best for a traveler who just needs a place to land

Solo traveller. Hotel is very safe and secure, in a great location between Victoria and Pimlico. You have the convenience and business of Victoria and the village feel of Pimlico. Ideally situated for tourist attractions/West End shows etc. I walked most places as so handy and felt very safe at night on my own. The hotel staff are warm, friendly, welcoming and helpful plus nothing was too much trouble. When I’m back in London, I will return. 🙂

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel run by a lovely lady whose name I forgot to take. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe and 'looked after'. I had two electric fans in the room which was more than enough to keep me cool in the heatwave. If you want up to date decor and all modcons then spend more and stay elsewhere, but for comfort and a great budget option this fits the bill. A short walk to Victoria Station and a 10 minute walk to reach the river.
