Good value for dollar. Everything was basic but clean. Location is excellent. Walking distance to Victoria station (coach, Gatwick express train and tube). If you have mobility issues this hotel is not for you as there are no lifts and the breakfast area is down a flight of stairs. Our only complaint, there was no hot water for our morning shower.

Location was very good, near Victoria station. Hotel was acceptable for a budget hotel. No elevator but hotel clerk carried my bag up and down the stairs for me. He also flagged a taxi for me, very helpful. It is an older hotel so all was good, buy a new rug going up the stairs would be good.

Great little spot

Great little spot in the middle of London. Very nice staff, clean rooms, new clean bathroom. The beds where a little hard and the room was small, but we where only there to sleep in the night so it didnt really matter. We didnt expect this but everyday when we had been out and about, the room had been cleaned and the beds made. The breakfast where there but nothing to brag about, and the room to eat it where very tiny and we had to wait until there was room for us to come in and eat 😅 But all in all we had a great time there and would gladly come again (but would eat breakfast out)

The hotel is very small old, doesn’t have ventilation , one small fan in a room with 4 beds, the bathroom is super small, the door cannot be locked. The rooms are small paid too much to be in the basement, have to leave the door open all night to get some air in the room.
