Its a typical European rental. The room is small. Maybe 2 feet of area around a full size bed. Its an old property. Staff was extremely attentive. Very quiet. We felt safe.

No elevator, price when I booked was $80 when I finally paid was way more, continental breakfast did not have fruit, booked 2 days , only had breakfast 1 day, double bed in room was lopsided on the right side, because the room is small and no where to sit, looks like the right side is sit on a lot, so its leaning way down. Stay at best western on upper corner a few years back, its a better choice

We enjoyed our time at the Dover Hotel. Very close to Victoria Train Station. Excellent restaurants in the area. We needed two taxis for our group and Khrumm was very helpful he stood out on the corner and flagged down two cabs in the matter of minutes. Great service!!!!

Booked here as it was close to come back to after a west end show. Room was comfy enough but very small for a twin. Just barley worked for me and my sister. Bathroom was nice but no amenities. Breakfast was a joke, they called it continental....it was nothing of the sorts! All they gave you was toast and 4 options of cereal (when they opened the cupboard they are all own brand like Tesco's coco pops). Fresh juice was watered down and mixed and the coffee machine wasn't good either. Then the added judging from the kitchen staff just made us feel uncomfortable as they sat there watching and talking

Nice budget hotel in nice area
Nice hotel with comfortable bed. Room cleaned every day. Very nice and helpful staff. Continental breakfast which was quite ok but has room for improvement when it comes to choice of coffe and tea. Would have been nice if they had have some oat milk or similar.

This is barely a 1 star hotel. The carpet was dirty as well as the beds were stained and lumpy. While the staff was friendly this doesn’t make up for the condition of the property.
