Great location near Victoria Station, clean tiny room and tiny bathroom, very unappetizing breakfast room in basement and we skipped breakfast altogether. Front desk staff friendly and helpful!

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.

Large family room with great location

I liked the large family room- a double bed and 3 single beds. It's hard to find something for a family traveling with 3 kids. Only problem was that the room smelled when we arrived. Breakfast was basic, but good: toasted white bread, jam, cereal, milk, tea, coffee, yoghurt. Location is great.

Excellent staff allowed us to leave our bags until our room was ready for an early check-in. Only downside was the fan in the room which was loud and didn’t help cool the room down at all sadly.

Great location near Victoria station, shopping, dining, and areas of interest. The only issue was the lack of air conditioning as we visited when it was hot and humid. Otherwise it was a great experience.
