Stayed in a room for 4 with a queen and 2 twin beds, and the beds were nicely separated by a wall (no door)- a great arrangement for a family! Not a fancy or modern chain hotel, but very clean and well kept. …

Great location and nice staff! Rooms are very small. They were in the process of changing the telephones, which left us without WiFi for two nights. It would have been nice if they had let us know in advance. Also, considering we had to leave for breakfast after checkout time and were charged for luggage storage, a partial refund would have made sense. Just a heads up—checkout time is earlier than at most hotels!

This hotel is in a great central London location and an easy walk to Pimlico station. On the pricey side - but consistent with what’s available in the area for the same standard. …

I was there as a solo traveller. Firstly was warmly greeted by owner, John.|The room was very comfortable with a nice big bed.|It was cleaned daily which was great (unlike US hotels, even 4 stars, that clean once a week if requested, even in 4 star hotels). |The location was good. It was a good experience overall and i will be back.
