Very limited breakfast options. The single beds for the kids were ok but the double was very hard. Subpar ventilation. Good location near Victoria Station.

Good value for dollar. Everything was basic but clean. Location is excellent. Walking distance to Victoria station (coach, Gatwick express train and tube). If you have mobility issues this hotel is not for you as there are no lifts and the breakfast area is down a flight of stairs. Our only complaint, there was no hot water for our morning shower.

Location was very good, near Victoria station. Hotel was acceptable for a budget hotel. No elevator but hotel clerk carried my bag up and down the stairs for me. He also flagged a taxi for me, very helpful. It is an older hotel so all was good, buy a new rug going up the stairs would be good.
