Great find.
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.

Ok but cold room
Room was icy cold when I arrived. There was an electronic radiator, but I wasn't turned on. It took a lot of time to get the room to such temperature that I could take a shower. Room was quite dated, but clean. Matress hurt my hip and the blanket was oddly narrow, so it was hard to get under the blanket and fully covered to get a good night sleep in the cold room.
Hotel doesn't have a luggage storage.

Great stay for a few nights. Rooms are small, and there is no lift, if you need one. But staff was very friendly and accommodating. There is free parking on the street on weekends and over night if you can find a spot. We got lucky! Close to tube.

Good location, friendly staff and clean rooms.
Hotel was in a great location. Staff were friendly and the room was clean and quiet. The only negative thing I can saw was that the shower pressure was pretty pathetic, but this wasn't a major issue for me.

I'd certainly stay there again
Whilst the property feels a little 'tired', it's clean and 'does what it says on the tin'. We enjoyed our stay and the lady on reception was very friendly and helpful. Great value for what we wanted..... a one night stay in London not too far from the Royal Albert Hall.
[By the way, whilst the booking was in my wife's name, Sara, it was me who stayed there.... SIMON]

Exactly as expected
The hotel is what it offers. A regular 3-stars with no inconveniences. The only downside is that there’s no minibar in the room.

Not a very good stay
We didn’t realize the hotel did not have an elevator, and we had heavy luggage and had to walk up five flights of stairs. The room is very small and there were no amenities (beverages, etc). The water pressure was also very weak. The woman at the desk was very nice though and apologetic It was still tough walking up and down five flights of stairs every time you wanted to leave the room. The location was great, but would not stay again.

A very traditional Victorian tradition hotel with all the charm. Brilliant location. No lift, not a problem for us but beware if you need a lift.
Pimlico underground around the corner and quick easy access to all of London from a safe location.
