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.

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.
We were one of the unlucky ones who were affected by the Heathrow airport closure due to fire. We scrambled to find a last minute hotel after our rental apartment said they had another booking and we needed to meet the 11am check out. This hotel was more than accommodating and we were very thankful. We were able to check in early so we didn’t have to check in our luggage for a few hours at a baggage hold facility. The place was clean and rooms were adequate but tiny. Minuses were that the staff entered our room while we were gone without our knowledge. We caught “maintenance” person in our room “checking the electricity”. And the room was cleaned while clearly we had luggage on the beds and the door started rooms were cleaned every third day. There is a concierge at a desk daily which made it convenient if you needed anything. But there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke that seemed to come from the office area. It is a moderate, good priced hotel for a couple or for a few nights at most.
Really easy check in and out, lovely staff and the room was always tidy and kept up daily through my stay.
If I ever find myself in the area, it will be my first choice!
Friendly staff, easy check in, quaint building and room, close to good transit.
Minor issue was comfort of bed.

Simple, did its purpose
Reception staff were very friendly! This hotel was a roof over my head for the night. You pay for what you get. It could do with a few touches up like a lick of pain, a good cleaning in the showers and some new extension cords that aren’t hit and miss. It’s about 8 min drive from the US Embassy, and a 14 min walk from Victoria Coach Station.

Fine for basic travel
Friendly and helpful receptionists and the hotel felt safe and clean. Hot water from the shower was intermittent though - at over £100 a night you want basics like this to be spot on, even in SW1.
Stayed whilst I was running an event in Westminster. Easy walk from Pimlico tube station and room was warm and comfortable. Shower was nice and powerful and staff were friendly and welcoming.
