    The absence of elevators means dragging luggage up multiple flights to your room!!! Room sizes often feel cramped, making it difficult to navigate comfortably!!!

    Totally recommend for a flash visit

    Clean room, friendly staff, compact breakfast area, which included a lovely surprise of a Juliette balcony in our accommodation, and a mere 5-minute walk to Victoria Station made our stay incredibly convenient for exploring the city.

    Could not be improved in any way.

    warm vibe
    central access

    convenient for exploring buckingham palace and westminster attractions

    I loved the warm vibe of my room and being just a short walk of less than 15 minutes to the stunning Buckingham Palace, making it easy to soak in the city’s history after my long walks around the National Gallery and other nearby sights.

    comfy bed
    clean sheets

    This place was just a strong match for a weekend stopover in London with good price value. The bed was quite comfy and the sheets were clean. Be prepared for the stairs if your room is on the top floor, no lift available.

    rainfall shower
    comfortable bed

    Suitability for budget travelers

    Honestly the comfort of the bed was a surprise I didn’t expect and the rainfall shower after a long day was pure bliss I didn’t want to leave my room sometimes

    It wasn’t exactly inexpensive but considering the location it was still worth it

    comfort issues

    I truly appreciated the beautiful decor throughout the hotel, which created a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The location was ideal, with easy accessibility to key attractions, making it a breeze to explore London without any hassles.

    More elevators would improve comfort for seniors.

    Absolutely loved the fresh grilled fish at Seafresh Fish Restaurant—best I’ve had in yonks! The cozy vibe of The Portico made our stay a treat. Plus, I can't forget the rainfall shower—what a blissful way to unwind after a long day exploring the city!

    The charm of the place and the staff's welcoming smiles made it all worth it in the end.

    would consider staying here again

    Room was cozy with a comfy bed and a smart TV. Had a rainfall shower that was refreshing, especially during warm weather. The hotel is on a quiet street, just a short stroll to attractions and tube stations. Staff were friendly and gave us takeaway breakfasts when we needed them. Great spot for exploring!
