    The single room is extremely tiny. Was ok for one night, and was expected, but its really very very small. Also no lift, as other mentioned, was not a problem for me, but if you have luggage, keep in mind.

    Very clean and perfect location

    Our family somehow missed eggs and fresh vegetables for breakfast. The buffet was fine, but some eggs and bacon would have made it so much more.

    I loved the decor and the finishings of the room we stayed in. It was clean and chic, exactly what you hope to find during a stay away from home. The location was good, not too far from public transport.

    The TV in the room was quite slow and underneath the beds wasn’t the cleanest ( we only realised this after dropping something under it ). The room could also use an extra plug beside the bed as we booked a 3 person room and there was only 2 plugs. (This is only a small thing as there were other plugs in the rooms)

    The beds were the most comfortable beds ever and the hotel room was a pretty good size ( we expected it to be a lot smaller based on other reviews). Having the AC in the room was super nice as we found it quite warm. The receptionist was lovely and helpful. We really enjoyed the overall decor of the hotel. The check in being at 1:30 was also very nice as many of the other hotels we looked at had check in at/after 3pm. The location was very convenient only about a 10 min walk from the Victoria Underground.

    No elevator and my room was at the top 4th floor, had those “Emily in Paris” apartment vibes, also the walls are quit thin and you can hear neighbors slamming doors during the night.

    The room was clean, with everything you need, great location for Victoria Coach station, friendly staff.

    No elevator but that’s usually the case for small boutique hotels. They do offer to bring your luggage up. Also I had not realized how small the room would be for the Deluxe single room. It’s tiny. If you can disregard this, the room is still quite comfy and clean. The walls are a bit thin, as I could hear my neighbours. Just minor things, nothing alarming.

    The location is great, right by Victoria station. It is a very simple, clean hotel, perfect for a solo traveller. I booked their Deluxe single room, the bathroom was clean and renovated. The room although tiny was functional and clean as well.

    It’s as basic as hotel get to be. No proper lobby. Didn’t try the breakfast but it’s in a dingy cellar and didn’t look appetising.

    Clean, recently decorated rooms. Although the colour scheme was chosen by someone who is colour blind. It’s a dark green with golden decorations and it covers the furniture as well.

    No lift but I wouldn't expect one in a building of this age & location. The staff did offer to assist with luggage.

    Great value for money with comfortable rooms and friendly & accommodating staff. The continental breakfast on offer was also good value at £10. The location is also very convenient being close to Victoria Station.

    The view was not a deluxe room view (it was a basement room that looked out onto steps and the bins!) The room smelled of the drains from time to time. The breakfast selection was ok but not great. Could hear a lot of noise.

    The room and hotel were decorated beautifully. Nice size bed. Staff were pleasant on reception and location was perfect for tube and coach station.

    One of my family members thought reaching the fourth floor without a lift was a bit tough. I didn't mind! But maybe the hotel should warn people there are no lifts.

    The rooms were clean and beautiful. I had an amazing view of Big Ben, the London Eye and other landmarks from my window.
