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.
It was odd that there was no sink near the toilet. Also soap and shampoo was not refilled every day. Other than that service and area was good and room was comfortable
We attended the London Eye countdown event, and since we could walk back, this location was very convenient for us.

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.
We had a one night stay in London after leaving our studies ship in Southampton and we decided to go and see the show Wicked at The Apollo theatre. This hotel was in the perfect location for us

Room is very small. Would not be suitable for large suitcases. Multiple narrow stairs to navigate. Breakfast toast and cereal. Bed comfortable. Staff great.
Very limited breakfast options.
The single beds for the kids were ok but the double was very hard.
Subpar ventilation.
Good location near Victoria Station.
