Front desk lady was so helpful and kind. She took the time to explain things to us. She gave us great directions to shopping and the coach station.

To be fair, I did book a room described as "perfect for a solo traveler". so I expected small. But miniscule would be a better description. it was about the size of a walk-in closet, at below the street level so you couldn't even have the window open to give it a little light. The desk staff were less than helpful when asked for directions, etc.
Great stay at the Windermere. The included full breakfast was amazing as was the restaurant staff. It is about a 10 minute walk to Victoria Station which will get you everywhere you want to go.
Nicely located within walking distance of Victoria Station, St. James Park and Westminster Abbey. Sweet hotel and wonderful staff. Breakfast was fabulous.
Location was convenient, safe, and the breakfast was superb. The breakfast staff were a delight. The bedding was soft and snuggable, as well rhe showe was fantastic. Loved the windows, and truly enjoyed our time here. Will go back for sure.
The rooms were
The owners of this hotel were delightful and helpful! The rooms and decor were a bit dated, but clean and fairly well appointed. Delicious breakfast options!
Emily was an angel. We misjudged our reservation by a day and she moved our things to a new room while we were out on a tour. Without her help we would have come back to no room. Thank you Emily.
Amazing stay. Hotel located in the near center to many shops. One of the biggest train station is 6mn walking distance. The area is very peaceful and the rooms are very clean.

The property was smaller than I expected. The rooms are extremely small. It's an older hotel but the staff is attentive. The breakfast was wonderful. It wasn't the usual buffet but you order from the menu.
This hotel has a truly excellent breakfast - both the service and selection. 5 stars!
The rooms are cosy. All conveniences are provided . Larger persons, may have an issue. I did not.
Location - the hotel is centrally located around 9 minutes from Victoria station -though with heavy luggage it may feel a bit longer. The location is a convenient walking distance to central London - Westminster abbey, Houses of Parliament , the south bank, - and accessible via Victoria station from both Heathrow and Gatwick airports.
This hotel would tick all the right boxes but for one unexplained quirk- on a booking of 2 rooms - with one pre paid IN FULL via Expedia from 9 months before, and with the other booking secured by credit card in the event of a no show, it insisted on charging the credit card for the full stay 2 days BEFORE arrival , rather than waiting for the guest on the booking to show 48 hours later and pay ON ARRIVAL as Expedia booking terms CLEARLY state.The card on the booking was available to be charged if the guest on the second booking did not show. It is unusual ,concerning and unprecedented for full payment to be charged BEFORE the date of arrival. On all other bookings of 2 rooms on this trip none tried to apply a charge to the credit card before arrival. Expedia’s confirmation of this booking is absolutely clear that payment was due for it on arrival at the hotel and not before. For this reason alone I would reluctantly remove this hotel from my repeat list.
This hotel serve good breakfast. Convenient to walk to bus , tube Victoria coach and tube station.
Owner and their family are nice and take care good customer.Hotel room are very clean.
Will come back again for next time.

The owners are wonderful, kind and attentive. I left my drivers license at the hotel and they contacted me as soon as they found it. We stayed at the beginning of our trip and at the end (we traveled to the Lake District from London) and would stay again.
A lovely hotel in a great location, very convenient to public transportation. An easy walk to cute restaurants on Elizabeth Street. The included breakfast is wonderful, made to order and a nice way to start a busy day.
