The staff was so kind and friendly, the room and bathroom (Wren) were spacious, comfortable, clean and quiet and looked recently renovated. Plenty of power sockets, very comfortable bed, a coffee machine, safe, comfortable seating and very tastefully decorated, as was all the hotel. Also excellent breakfast, generous and freshly prepared to order. The staff kindly allowed me to drop off my suitcase before check in and it was taken up to my room ready for when I arrived. I had such a great stay and wish I could have stayed longer. Will definitely stay again.

We had a great stay at this hotel in London. The room was fresh, spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and made it feel like a small family-run hotel. Breakfast was well-cooked with a good enough selection, served in a cosy breakfast café. It’s also within walking distance of Victoria Station, and overall very good value for money.

Should be able to have breakfast anytime without having to pre-book. Room is a bit dated and air-con was missing the remote which was brought on request. both me and my wife caught a flu virus and are still suffering after 10 days. Staff was welcoming but location not immediately near underground metro so ended up taking ubers a lot.

Lovely welcome at the hotel by the owner. We were able to drop our luggage at reception in the morning and go exploring. Room 11 was double aspect at the front of the hotel but still quiet. The room was clean and a reasonable size. The bathroom was compact but modern and had everything you need. The twin beds were very comfortable. The excellent complimentary breakfast was served in a lovely restaurant downstairs

Everything was great: the neighborhood is a gem, it is central and yet very quite. Our room had a very nice view on the street, we had water, tea, coffee and biscuits. As we stayed in January it was a bit cool inside but it was very cosy under the blanket. We could hear our upstairs neighbors in the evening but at night it was quite. Breakfast was very nice with a choice of few but well home prepared dishes. Shout out to the staff, who were attentive and friendly.
Would want to come here again!
