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.

Small rooms with a very small bathroom. Also we were on the fourth floor with no lift in the hotel. Quite a hike up the stairs after walking around sightseeing all day.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
My ranking of staff and service is based on the service we received in the latter part of our stay ....we spent quite a few nights there.The first staff member we met was very abrupt and unfriendly. The 2 young women for the latter part were the opposite and seemed interested and very helpful to all guests not just us. If my review was to be based on our first impressionson it would be not to stay there but 2 young women changed that. They were interested in the guests asking about plans and contributing suggestions. I would not like to see 2 amazing young women penalised in any way for the actions of another staff member.

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!

Lovely weekend

The stay was lovely. It was a quiet weekend at the hotel and the manager gave me a courtesy upgrade as I have a large suitcase (en route to another country for the following weeks). The hotel has no lift and the staff assisted me in bringing my bags up to the room.

Ken

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff were great, friendly and very professional. The room although small was very comfortable! I think it was a house in the past because it feels like you’re staying in a house. It’s not haunted as far as I could tell but since it is Victorian it wouldn’t surprise me (and it feels like it should be)haha. Huge deal for me was they had an electric kettle and coffee in the room! Rather quaint in that the room key is an old school skeleton key. Neighborhood is great, close to food and the tube so pretty easy to get around. It’s in the pimlico area of Westminster so pretty nice neighborhood. I’ll definitely stay there again the next time I’m in London! My advice is take the tube from kings crossing to pimlico station it will save you about £40
