The hotel is very well located, within few steps to Pimlico tube station. The neighborhood has plenty cafés and restaurants. The staff were very friendly.
The premises misses, however, a place to store luggage after check out and the shower in my room had weak pressure.
It was a pleasant stay in London though. Through a cost-benefit point of view, it definitely worth the reservation.

Blades Hotel is a perfect combination of location and quality. It’s in an easy walk to multiple transit lines, as well as major and local attractions. My single room provided more than enough space for my stay and my weeks’ worth of luggage. Extremely clean and up to date. The staff (Tammy in particular) are welcoming, communicative, and a great resource for help navigating London. I would highly recommend this hotel for adventurous travelers who also like a clean and comfortable room when they return.

The Hotel is located in an attractive part of London . Very close to Pimlico underground. The 24 bus service route goes through central London . Facilities close by are mini market shops, cafes and a local pub . The Hotel room was ensuite with TV , tea and coffee supplied and excellent value for the price . My friend had a similar room and she was also very happy with her stay . We would certainly stay and Blades Hotel again when next in London .
