Victoria - Westminster

Although the room given to me was on the top floor, tiny, small, barely could move and it was a herculean effort to up and down each time - the stay was seemingly pleasant. staff both in the breakfast room was very accommodating, they let me get more pillows and towels and more which is something i really appreciate in a hotel. Location wise, hotel is perfect for first timers, very near to those flying in via Gatwick. if i had to improve something, probably the beds need refurbishing, or time to buy new ones now. i guess hotels of this level have as much the same offer as those near it, so i'd say price is already okay. Room Tip: if you're not too swank on room space, then this should be it, however if you'l have guests in, probably best to switch hotels with bigger room space.

The hotel is a short walk to Victoria Station, where you can catch a Metro to anywhere in the city or a standard rail connection. The Original Bus tour leaves Grovesnor Square, which is next to Victoria Station. From there you can see the whole tour of the city in 2 hours, and it'll drop you back where you started.

Hutton's is on a street full of semi-budget hotels. It's fine in terms of cleanliness but a little cramped. The shower in our room was almost on top of the toilet. Not altogether unexpected though for London. Our main problem was that our room was right next to the reception which made it quite noisy at times. This would vary depending upon room though... Not a bad place to stay if you can get a good price.

petit dejeuner très moyen, pas beaucoup de choix, ils serven,t le minimun (pain de mie....)

Good location (a few minutes from Victoria station). The room is big enough as the price.

Extremely small rooms.

You couldn't ask for a better location. Very easy to get to on the tube from Heathrow. Just about a 2 minute walk from Victoria Station to the hotel. We could see Buckingham Palace from our window! Locatd in the heart of the theater district. The room was a very good size by European standards. the only complaint was that the front desk staff spoke poor english and spoke very softly. It got embarassing to keep asking them to repeat what they were saying. The restaruant in the hotel had some of the best food we ate in London! Nice bar as well.

We booked only 2 days at the Thistle Westminster and we wish we had time for 5. Great job to the hotel staff. Thank you for the hospitality.

Just needed a place to sleep, and this worked. Enjoyed their breakfast.

The hotel is in a good location, not far from the subway and bus stations and walking distance from Westminster. The room was clean but very small. The breakfast was awesome, great job! However, the staff could be uncooperative at times.

Although the rooms are quite small, they are extraordinarily clean and well equipped. I would stay here again anytime I am in London

Great hotel and great location. The hotel is very clean and the staff incredibly nice and helpful. We had problems with the TV on the first night where it had to be rebooted every 5 minutes. When it was still occuring on the second night, the night manager, Bilal, moved us to another room and personally came up to help with the bags. He also credited us two days internet. The hotel location is right next to the St James tube which is on the district line and can get you pretty much anywhere. It also connects to Victoria Station which is how we came and went from the airport. West Minster Abbey was less than a 5 minute walk. The two rooms we stayed in had exterior obstructed views of brick walls so we pretty much kept the blinds closed but with the great location and since we were out most of the day anyway this was not that big of a deal. We never ate at the hotel so I cannot comment on the restaurant or prices. I did have a couple of draft beers at the hotel bar and a pint was ~7 pounds (or ~10 dollars) which is about what I paid at the hotel bar in New York when I stayed there last year so it was pretty much the same; better to hit the cool pubs like The Albert just around the corner for a pint half that price and served on cask. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again next time we visit London.

The hotel is beautiful and it's location is excellent for everything you want to do during your stay. The hotel is clean and well kept and the staff is eager to assist with anything you may need.

This place was exactly what I was looking for; small, not a chain, a little more unique, centrally located and affordable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and a good size. I had read a few reviews that complained about the size of the room but I felt it was the perfect size for me. The room was on ground level in the front and by the reception desk so it did get noisy at times with street noise and other people checking out early in the morning but I feel like that's kind of part of staying in a building in a big city with a whole bunch of other people in it. Breakfast was NOT included (I found reading in the fine print of most of the deal listings that when it said "breakfast included" it really meant "breakfast available") however I was able to eat there and was charged when checking out. I liked having the option to eat there or elsewhere and I found that a similarly sized breakfast at a chain restaurant near Victoria Station cost about the same amount. Speaking of Victoria Station, it was only a few blocks away providing easy access to three major tube lines. If you feel like your hotel stay should put you in the lap of luxury than this place may not be for you, but if you want clean accommodations and a helpful staff to answer all your questions than this place will be just your speed.

L'hotel etait calme.... La nuit car en travaux, a partir de 8 h bcp de bruit, mais on etait pas venu pour faire la grasse matinee, le wifi marchait que dans le couloir, c'est ballot!, pour la salle de bains c'était plutot mini pouce , mais par contre super breakfast, personnel sympa et disponible

I hadn't been to London for many years and recall the last hotel to be uncomfortable, dirty and unpleasant. this time was altogether different. We were a party of four (two couples) and were each delighted by the staff and service of the hotel, it's proximity to central London AND the double glazed windows to ensure quietness amidst London's 24 hour throng! It is part of Victoria station's building so just 30 mins to gatwick airport by train, which suited us perfectly. The rooms were spotless, comfortable and really well appointed for our needs although one bathroom was a tad pokey. The hotel is a gracious, generously proportioned old building that's been beautifully restored, so it's just a pleasure to be in. Unfortunately, there was no breakfast included in the price which we only found out about upon arrival. It seemed a strange thing and left a bit of a sour taste with the welcome. But there are lots of places nearby that do breakfasts quite well. We didn't dine in the hotel restaurant but we did pay £10 each for a voucher to have a Sunday buffet breakfast in the brasserie (People were queuing up for it and consequently the floor staff were struggling to keep up) and here's the thing - no real tea or coffee! In fact, the watery excuses from the thermos flasks were pretty awful. Actually, in five days we dined or coffeed in around twenty different places (from posh to ordinary establishments) and not ONE of them offered real tea in a pot. isn't that remarkable for England! So.... If you love your tea, i recommend you take your own as you can boil up the kettle in your hotel room and sip tea from your bed. All in all, i would highly recommend this hotel and will stay there again.

AMBIANCE SEREINE ET PERSONNEL AGREABLE + SITUATION PARFAITE M'ONT RENDU LE SEJOUR EXCELLENT EN CONCLUSION TRES BON RAPPORT QUALITE PRIX

Loved the experience of having breakfast in an international community of travelers; only coffee, orange juice cereal and toast but the location was fabulous, no lift so be prepared. Easy access to the tube and great neighborhood.

This hotel is disgusting. We woke at 4am to catch an early train and found bed bugs all through the bed and room. This was our first experience with bed bugs and after much research we discovered that they can get into your luggage and hitch a ride home with you. As a result we had to throw out suitcases and wash everything in hot water to ensure we killed them. This was a real inconvenience and the bites were terrible. Further, the hotel has NO lift and 82 steps to the top level - not easy with luggage. There was no offer of help from the guy behind the desk. Do yourself a favour and stay elsewhere!

Very nice room, lovely furnishings, very helpful staff. The only complaint would be the distance from the main elevator to the room. I counted 155 steps. The elevator closest to the room went down to the Spa and Courtyard and was extremely small. Otherwise, we all would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family.

I was with my b-friend on vacation in London and we were happy that this hotel was chosen. We had no complains at all. We arrived at the hotel around 11 am and since our room was ready, we were allowed to go to the room right away. A room was a little bit small but sunny and clean. The bed was very comfortable with a down comforter and down pillows. Even though internet connection in rooms was not free, we were able to use the complimentary internet service in a business center. The best thing about the hotel is it's in a walking distance from Buckingham Palace (3min), The Parlament and The Westminster Abbey (15 min), etc. Also, it's very closed to a metro station. It's so expensive to use taxi in London. We would like also to recommend a cool pub that is located around a corner on Victoria street. We enjoined a huge choice of beer, delicious like home made food and a good service. We will definitely stay in this hotel next time.

enjoyed this hotel very much, excellent British service, staff couldn't do enough to make your stay pleasant. Excellent breakfast. Good central location and It was a treat to be able to open the window at night. Free in room internet. Great value and we highly recommend staying here. This will be our preferred hotel for future visits.

great location. 2 minutes walk to victoria station. stayed in a king room on the 1st floor, had a view of the AC. very comfy bed. good breakfast buffet, lot's of choices. polite staff. will stay here again.

Very nice, well located hotel with comfortable rooms, but we had trouble with room serving and housekeeping

When we checked in we brought 1 additional guest more than originally booked. Checked in at 10PM and they were going to bring up a rollaway bed. By 11PM no bed had arrived. I called and they said they were going to send one up. By 11:20 still no bed and called again. By 11:30 I called and cancelled the bed as my daughter and her husband were going to try to sleep on the twin bed. He ended sleeping part of the night on the floor. We did have a extra bed for the second night.

The location was perfect, comfortable beds, helpful staff as far as helping you get around town

Good location quick walk to Victoria Station. Rooms were average for their age. Bell staff were excellent, front desk staff medicore. No air conditioning in room which on a hot summer day could be a problem, there was a fan in closet. Great italian restaurant a couple of blocks away on way to station would highly recommend.

Un hôtel typique dans un quartier résidentiel de Londres. Équipement et confort très correctes, rien à dire. Le personnel est sympa mais pas très expressif et un peu léger mais apparemment c'est la façon de faire dans cette ville. Je conseille cet hôtel pour un week-end romantique. Néanmoins il est un peu loin du centre touristique, et donc, il faut prendre le taxi pour ce rendre dans les lieux à visiter (et c'est cher !).

Great facility - clean, large rooms for europe, staff was friendly, health club was fabulous, easy access to all venues. Would go back on my next visit without question.

The hotel was in a great location. The beds were very uncomfortable.

Rooms are small, but nice. Great central location in the city. Good free breakfast as well, allowing you to get a decent and healthy meal before you set out for the day. For the price it was as expected. I would stay again... They also have a small bar in the lobby so you can grab a drink on your way in or out.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Provided a good breakfast. Very good value for the price.

My room hadn't been cleaned properly, i.e the wastepaper basket hadn't been emptied. The breakfast was rather ordinary with soggy toast. Position is fine although nearer to Pimlico than Victoria.

This hotel was only a block from Westminster Abbey and one block from a subway station. Good hotel, good value

We had two rooms and stayed for nine nights and really enjoyed our stay. My son and I were in London two years ago for a week (stayed at a different hotel) and were returning this time with my other son and his wife. We had a wonderful time seing the sights from one end of the city to the other. The hotel location was excellent with St. Jame's Park subway (tube) station and bus stops only short walks away. Having breakfast downstairs at the hotel restaurant was a great way to start each day. The staff at both the hotel and restaurant were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were very neat and clean. The bathrooms even had a 120 volt outlet which allowed my electric razor to be used & recharged which, unlike cameras and cell phones, would not have been possible with the standard UK 240 volt charge. The only problem we had in both rooms was the that the ceiling air conditioners were unreliable. In spite of fans that were provided by the hotel and the AC's being reset a few times, we had a couple of uncomforable nights sleep. Overall, we all felt that the hotel was a great place to stay (location, value and staff) and would definitely go back there again.

Das Hotel verfügt über wenige Zimmer, ist jedoch klein aber fein. Das Personal ist OK. Durch den Tag hindurch sind zwei Damen am Empfang, die allerdings ziemlich unfreundlich sind. Das Zimmer ist sauber und genügend eingerichtet. Die Lage des Hotels ist super, man hat keinen langen Weg bis zur U-Bahn Station. Leider brauchten wir einige Anläufe, damit wir das Hotel finden konnten. Im Grossen und Ganzen zufriedenstellend!

The hotel is just around the block from Victoria, so it is good for quick trips. It is a small room and our bathroom was just outside the door in the hall, but the water pressure was very iffy. If you are on a budget, this is a good choice, it is clean and comfortable. The staff was nice and helpful. I probably wouldn't stay for more than a few days at a time, as the bathroom situation would get tiring, but for a couple of nights here and there, it is a very good budget option.

Hotel 41 is quintessential London. Beautifully appointed and impeccable, I was amazed at the staff and attention to detail. Absolutley beautiful.

Beautiful hotel, wonderful staff, would stay there again if ever in London

I stayed at this hotel with my husband and 2 kids for one week. Everything was excellent. Upon our arrival, they sent us straight to have breakfast since we were starving and the staff came to us to do our check in. They also realized we were very tired having flown during the night plus a 5-hour time difference so they gave us a room to rest while our room was getting ready. When we got our apartment on the second floor, my husband didn't like the lack of a view and they upgraded us to another one on the third floor with a great view of the St. James Court. Our apartment was great: 3 bedrooms, living room and a full kitchen with a Nespresso coffee machine, dishwasher, washing/dryer machine. The hotel location is great: 2 min walk from the Buckingham Palace, 2 min from an Underground station, less than 10 min walk to the Westminster Abbey and Parliament. The staff could not be better. They made us feel like we were staying at a friend's house. The only reason why I gave a 4-star to Amenities was because in my apartment there was not an electrical outlet in any of the bathrooms which made it difficult when I needed to blow dry my hair and would make it hard for a man using an electrical shaver. But this would never prevent me from going back again and again.

Fabulous service from the front desk, concierge, restaurant and cleaning people. we have traveled to many large european cities but this suite was probably the best value, price, location and setting with its beautiful, relaxing courtyard.
