I had a small room but it was well laid-out and I had a cozy stay. Comfortable bed and clean bathroom. The breakfast at the restaurant downstairs (included in my stay) was absolutely delightful. …

I chose a small single room, with en suite shower, that was perfect for my one night stay. It was very comfortable and had everything that I required. All staff were extremely friendly and courteous. A full breakfast (with other options available) was included in the price and was excellent.

Rooms are a little small. There are stairs if you have luggage. Elevator is tiny and a little sketchy. Nice place though. Within walking distance of pubs and restaurants. Nice neighborhood, friendly staff.

The reviews were spot on and we knew exactly what to expect! Everything from the welcome, to the quaint (but well-appointed) rooms, to the YUMMY breakfast and the close proximity to everything (about a mile walk to Westminster Abbey). …

Stopped here for breakfast without having realised it was part of a hotel. Coffee was great, lovely breakfast and the owners were just brilliant, clearly their hotel guests found them friendly and helpful, we were made extremely welcome immediately. I would definitely try to book here now if looking for a bed near Victoria. Funnily enough, when i checked out thecrooms online it was fully booked a fair way in advance.
