A Truly Welcoming Stay! This may not be the biggest or most luxurious hotel, but the warmth you feel here is something many 5-star places can’t offer. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine smiles of Magdalena and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home instantly from staff too. The cleaners deserve a special mention — they keep everything spotless, fresh, and comfortable every single day. Their kindness and attention to detail really stand out. If you’re looking for a clean, friendly, and truly inviting place to stay, this hotel is a little hidden gem. I would happily come back again! 🌟 Thank you Yllka Thompson

I was pleasantly surprised when I stepped into the hotel out of the cold. The temperature was warm as was the atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel room had all that I needed for a comfortable stay - attention to detail, spotlessly clean, lots of (quality) tea, coffee, and milk, and comfortable bed. I had a great nights sleep and was refreshed for my onward journey the following morning. Great value for money and Blades will be my first choice when visiting London next. Thank you

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.

Quiet, welcoming and comfortable

The staff at blades were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The hotel is located in a quiet neighbourhood, just a few minutes walk from Pimlico underground station. The room is a little dated in decor, but very comfortable.
