It’s small hotel in a great location, staff is exceptional. Room was on the smaller side but was sufficient. They offer excellent breakfast. Despite being a few minutes from Victoria station, it’s still quiet in the evenings. Many restaurants are within walking distance. You can walk to many London attractions or hop in the train. The owners and staff are all very lovely hands in people.
it was walking distance to many areas and if not taxi was available - staff were great to work with

Lovely property, huge modern bathroom and generous breakfast. The location was excellent - 10 minutes to Victoria station, about 15 minutes walk to Buckingham Palace, about 20 minutes walk to Big Ben, Houses of Parliament and Westminster. The staff were very accomodating.

This is a family run property of 12 or 15 rooms. A cooked breakfast was provided that was very good. The staff were very friendly and provided advice on transportation and nearby restaurants. The bathroom was very modern, conveniently arranged, and clean. Our room had a loveseat, desk and chair, wardrobe and bed. The room was big enough for us to open our large suitcases. It is located an easy walk to Victoria Station. The hotel does have an elevator although there may still be some short flights of steps involved.

Excellent customer service from the staff. The breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. Location is perfect for transport, dining etc
The only let down was the shower in my room was not clean and housekeeping did not give me a clean cup or replenish the tea tray.
Overall I would stay there again.
