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.

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.

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.
