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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
Easy walk from Plimlico tube. Staff pleasant -stayed two nights and room cleaned in between. On top floor which may cause access problems for less abled. Room was small which just accommodated double bed. On-suite even smaller -required acrobatic flexibility to use! Relatively quite for London, and I suppose relatively inexpensive ? (£125 a night is not good value in my opinion)

For the part of London that you get access to, this place is ideal. The room i got was tiny, but it was perfect for one person. It had everything i needed. The staff were beyond friendly. The coffee shops close by were sooo nice. The parks around also made it a perfect place to just sit and enjoy the sun. I really enjoyed my time there and cant wait to come back to explore more of the area.

The Blades Hotel is a very comfortable small hotel within walking distance of the Victoria Railway Station (~15 mins) and very close to the Pimlico Underground station. The stop for Bus #24 is nearly adjacent to the hotel, another added convenience. The rooms are small by 21st Century standards but typical for central London hotels. Our room was very clean and quiet. Staff at the Reception Desk were very friendly. My wife and I stayed 2 nights at the Blades Hotel and were very comfortable.

If you are an American, read this. We stayed in the largest room, complete with three twin beds and a full bed. There is no bathroom in the room. It's down the hall. It is touted as "adjacent" but it's 14 steps down the hallway. There is no laundry even though the site says there is. There is no ice, no refrigerator, and no food, so be prepared. The service is outstanding and the staff are very helpful.
