Une jolie surprise. Même si la chambre est petite, l’emplacement est très bien…. Le ménage est fait tous les jours et les serviettes changées à chaque passage, ce que nous avons apprécié. Le petit déjeuné est très correct, nous recommandons cet hôtel

If I could give negative stars I would. Do not think about staying in this place it was the worst experience of our holiday. We stayed here in December 2025 The room was at the very top of a narrow rickety spiral stairs several flights up, which we had to carry our suit cases up. Woke up to no hot water, the front desk did not seem to care about this issue, no suggestions other than a family of 4 having cold showers in the middle of a London Winter, seriously? Don't expect much for the advertised breakfast, a few selections of cereal, 2 slices of toast filtered coffee and some juice, most of the people didn't actually get anything as they ran out of bread and yogurt. I have tried to contact the hotel on 2 occasions and they have just ignored me completely. It is seriously the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Run the other way do not stay here is my advice.

Hotel propre, un peu vieillot mais vraiment pas derangeant pour un week end. Personnel au top. Petit dejeuner simple mais correct. Gros point positif : la proximité avec la gare Victoria, buckingham , big ben, westminster , le tout à 20 mn à pied maximum.

Great value, clean and comfortable beds. Central location. For the money you can’t fault it it!! Compact rooms but all you need for a nights or twos rest visiting London as a family. Small double bed and two singles in our family room. Great location! Friendly check in staff.
