Property was close and walkable to things. Having the bathroom down the hall was a pain but the room slept 5 and worked for our 2 nights there. The staff were friendly, helpful and we received exceptional service.

Excellent location near to Pimlico tube station and 10 min walk to Victoria station. The hotel is in a old building extremely caracteristic but having the room at 5th floor without the elevator is not the best when you back tired. The personnel is very kind and supportive. Room is small but very nice!

Excellent location for walking or trains. It’s nothing fancy, a rather small room, and a little quirky because it’s in an old townhouse, but clean, very amiable staff, and affordable! We would stay again.

Staff were superb! Attentive and accommodating. Bed very comfortable which was a bonus after a long day out and about. Great location close to transportation and sights. Room is small but very comfortable. Not a concern as spent most time out exploring! Great price too. Lots of dining options within walking distance. Highly recommend.

If you’re looking for an economical place to stay (especially for one person) this place is great. Safe area, loads of character, walkable to everything Westminster, it was cute and clean (the bedding and pillows were great, made of cotton not gross polyester!). It was perfect.
