Cute hotel with professional and kind staff. They always greet you with a smile and encourage questions about the area and nearby attractions. Complimentary pastries and coffee (machine for lattes, etc) available in the morning along with pleasant conversation. Rooms are small but this is typical for London accommodations. Enjoyed our stay!

A warm & friendly home away from home

I had a lovely stay at the Melita hotel. Anna & Cash who both worked in the reception was more than friendly, they were lovely. The atmosphere is warm and familiar the staff is more than helpful. Although the hotel doesn’t serve breakfast they offer free coffee and pastries in the morning to take into your room if wanted. The also offered a discount at a restaurant nearby for breakfast out. This hotel is my only choice next time in London

Excellent convenient hotel

The Melina was terror. Very welcoming and helpful with a comfy bed, hot shower with heated towel rack, and a specially brewed cup of coffee in the morning. They went beyond the call to make the service perfect. And the perfect place to stay for sights and choirs.

Expensive hotel for an uncomfortable nights sleep

Small hotel close to Victoria Station. Room was clean and adequate - kettle provided with teabags but no coffee. There was a menu to purchase coffee. The mattress was lumpy and the springs could be heard and felt moving in the mattress. Not sure the last time, a new mattress was purchased for room 36 but I'd recommend it's top of the list. The bathroom was only adequate - plastic, non-recyclable glasses and an electric shower with no pressure.

Staff were exceptionally accomodating. Answered all of our questions about the area. Conveniently located, short walk to Pimlico Tube station and reasonable walk to Victoria station. Walking distance to all the major attractions in Westminister. Room was small, as expected in London. The coffee and pastries in the morning were a bonus. Absolutely nothing bad to say about the hotel or staff.

The single room (1 person) was the smallest room I've ever stayed in, in 40 years of traveling. It wasn't terrible if you're not planning on a lot of room tim, which I wasn't. The staff was very responsive to any request I had. Pastries and coffee served in the AM.

I stayed in the single room (Room 24). Got the room on extremely short notice, which I was grateful for. If you're interested in a place that is close to PLAB exam spot near Vincent square, this is a great location. It is a 5-8 minute walk.
