Georgian House Hotel

Family-owned business; house is old but still beautiful; room was small - hardly any space to put our luggage; has no AC or lifts. The hotel's main advantage is its proximity to the coach and train stations. There are also several restaurants and shops nearby. The neighborhood is quiet and private. Breakfast buffet had good selections, but turned out to be not included in our vacation package so we had to shell out 25GBP for eating breakfast there for 2 mornings. We were told when we checked in that it was included but that was neither here nor there. We only stayed in the hotel for 3 nights; our stay there was just OK.

I booked this hotel because of it's great reviews. Honestly, I wasn't impressed. The room was terribly small. I live in New York, with 3 other roommates, and the room was still smaller than my current living situation. The staff is nice and they clean the room daily, which is good because of how cramped it is. But honestly, I would probably try my luck somewhere else next time rather than staying here again.

It was completely unacceptable unless you are a sardine. Not for Us or Anyone. Trust me.

The hotel staff were great and the room was extremely clean. However, the room and bathroom were so small they were uncomfortable. You literally could not stand in the bathroom and use the sink, you had to be standing in the room with the door open to stand at the sink. There literally was just no room. Small is one thing, but so small that a room is unusable in not acceptable. The location was great is you were using the underground. The hotel was a mile or so from Buckingham Palace, but you did have to take a train to get anywhere as no place was convenient by foot. It was an okay experience, but the price was way too high for what we received. I would not stay there again and I would not recommend this hotel to a friend or colleague.

Room was small, but perfect for our needs! Very clean room and private bathroom. And staff was kind and very helpful.

This place was exactly what I was looking for; small, not a chain, a little more unique, centrally located and affordable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and a good size. I had read a few reviews that complained about the size of the room but I felt it was the perfect size for me. The room was on ground level in the front and by the reception desk so it did get noisy at times with street noise and other people checking out early in the morning but I feel like that's kind of part of staying in a building in a big city with a whole bunch of other people in it. Breakfast was NOT included (I found reading in the fine print of most of the deal listings that when it said "breakfast included" it really meant "breakfast available") however I was able to eat there and was charged when checking out. I liked having the option to eat there or elsewhere and I found that a similarly sized breakfast at a chain restaurant near Victoria Station cost about the same amount. Speaking of Victoria Station, it was only a few blocks away providing easy access to three major tube lines. If you feel like your hotel stay should put you in the lap of luxury than this place may not be for you, but if you want clean accommodations and a helpful staff to answer all your questions than this place will be just your speed.

Despite enticement of being a B& B, one must actually pay for breakfast--it's not included in the price. No need to pay it as there are tons of places to eat in the area. It's a great location, but the rooms are so small that two people are very cramped. There's no place to store bags & hardly any closet or drawer space. Plan on climbing 84 stairs if you're on the top floor--there is no elevator. There's no beating the location, though. Five mins. to Victoria Station but in quiet genteel street with pubs, shops, eateries nearby.

This hotel was in a great area and a convenient walking distance to Victoria station. The staff was professional, polite and helpful. Rooms are small, and although the website implied that breakfast was included, there was an additional charge.

Great full English breakfast available or continental choices. The staff is very friendly and always willing to assist. About a 10-12 minute walk from the Victoria Station, (even shorter when it's cold). Comfy bed and nice size bathroom, internet access available & computers in the lobby. Not far from some great restaurants, Starbucks and grocery store (just in case). Would stay there again....

We stayed at the Georgian House Hotel for 3 nights towards the tail end of our trip to Britain to stay in a different part of London, and were disappointed to find that our "standard" room at the Georgian House Hotel was more of a bedsit in the basement rather than a standard room. Having enjoyed our stays elsewhere in London and other parts of the UK, the sudden drop in value for approximately the same price we had been paying, including exclusion of the "included" breakfast, was unexpected. To their credit, upon expressing our disappointment, the friendly staff did work with us to give us standard rooms for 2 of the 3 nights as well as the breakfast at no extra charge, albeit these changes required us to move rooms every night of our stay (as others have pointed out, they do have a porter to move your luggage, which is convenient). All in all, having to negotiate these items with hotel staff in addition to packing every morning to move within the same hotel was certainly not what I had expected when I booked this accommodation. Upon leaving, we did speak to the manager of the Georgian House to express our disappointment, who told us since they were fully booked at the time, and since we did not put in a special request for a standard room when we booked our "standard" room, there was nothing they could do - although remarkably we were offered a discount on our next stay (which we will not be taking advantage of, as there are other perfectly suitable accommodations with better value and without this type of trouble elsewhere in London). My recommendation to hotel management is to provide more accurate description of rooms with rates as well as the accommodations generally in order to establish standards of what guests should expect, and do a better job of meeting those standards upon guest arrival rather than having the guest negotiate these items after the fact. My recommendation if you do decide to book at the Georgian House is to follow the hotel manager's advice and include a special request for a more spacious room on a higher floor to avoid the more cramped layouts of the lower floors.
