    This place is actually so gross. Of course it's an express hotel but oh my goodness, there is mold…read morein the bathroom, they don't have an iron in the room, the floors look gross that I'm wearing my shoes around, and there are no washcloths in the room. They sell water for £2.25, but there's a 24hr market down the street you can buy more water for cheaper. The receptionist actually told us. But, it's fairly close to many things, it's 10 min walk to the underground, and they gave fluffy and firm pillows.

    Disclaimer: stayed at this place while using my mom's employee rate/discount. She was also with us…read more That being said, the cost per night via my mom's employee rate/discount, for three people, in a double bedroom with a pull out sofa, the price was great! I could not imagine paying the base rate of 200 pounds. The hotel is in a decent area. We found that the bus stop directly outside of the hotel was quite convenient, and took us to all the places we needed to go. Vaux Hall Tube Station is about a 6-8 minute walk, which isn't too far. There is also a quick store a block away to get water and snacks. The hotel is overall clean. However, did notice the house keeping declining during our visit. We stayed for a total of 5 nights, and the first two nights were great. Cups were cleaned, the floor was vaccuumed etc. However, after the second day, our cups were not cleaned and stored away. I saw a crumb on the floor before we left for the day, and the same crumb remained when we returned after the room was made. Breakfast: it kind of does the job, but it does get tiring after the third day. it's the same items: powdered scrambled eggs, british sausage, your usual toast/croissants, cereal, yogurt, canned fruit, coffee. After being there for 5 days, I was over the breakfast items. It would have been niced to just have hard boiled eggs, as the powdered eggs got gross. Oh yea there were also baked beans - I think a british thing. Oatmeal would have been nice too.

    Class and centrally located in London. It was a great choice after coming into Heathrow. We were so…read moretired, and I made all the difference in the world to have a clean, upscale hotel to stay. The hotel itself and the rooms were all very comfortable and clean. They were quiet and the busy city didn't come into the rooms at all. We slept like babies that night. I would return to this hotel without a doubt. The staff for the hotel were very accommodating and made sure that we were welcome. We even left an item behind and asked if we could come back and get it a couple days later and they held it for us.

    Every long, sweaty walk from this hotel to the Tube (10-15 minutes to Lambeth North; 15-20 minutes…read moreto Waterloo or Vauxhall) was a harsh reminder of my failure as a travel planner. The next time I book a hotel for Londontown, it'll be nearer to the underground, which eliminates the Novotel London Waterloo from my future lodging options. Service was severely lacking. Our sheets were never changed even though there was an obvious stain (I'm not admitting to buying & eating an entire Colin the Caterpillar cake, but *somehow* the frosting ended up on the comforter.) And when we requested extra amenities, what was brought to us was either incomplete or completely incorrect. And finally, we ordered a couple pizzas from the bar downstairs & the two women assisting us were impolite. The pepperoni pizza had five sparse discs, all carelessly placed in one area of the pie (see pic), & not that I was surprised, taste & quality left much to be desired. Not the most comfortable stay; room was cramped with little to no storage. Some upsides: walking distance to Big Ben & Westminster Abbey, firm bed & the toilet is in a separate room from the shower, but inefficient service & location make this an unacceptable hotel for me.

In addition to price, location is important, but it can be a challenge if you don't know the city. When looking for a hotel for our five night stay, there were many affordable options in good areas of London, but in the end we chose 69 The Grove, a lovely B&B in the Vauxhall area of London, and it was a GREAT decision. 69 The Grove is so-called because the address is 69 Vauxhall Grove. It is in the Vauxhall area, which is just south of the Thames. While a bit further away from all the main attractions in London, it was just a five minute walk to Vauxhall Station, on the Victoria Line, and took just 20 to 30 minutes to get to wherever we needed to go. It was a perfect balance of being in a quiet residential area and having quick and easy access to the busier parts of the city. It was also within walking distance of many restaurants, parks, Westminster Abbey, Parliament Square, Lambeth Bridge, and other attractions. I absolutely loved the area. The price of our five night stay was $1,205.35 CAD (including all taxes), and a full English breakfast is included each morning, Monday to Saturday -- an excellent value. While the room was small, it had everything we needed -- a private bathroom, comfy bed, a mini fridge and kettle, and it was clean and quiet. If my budget allows, I want to make another trip to London, and I hope 69 The Grove is still in operation. It was such a pleasant place to stay, and I would not hesitate to go back. I highly recommend 69 The Grove. [Yelp collections: Europe 2024; London, England; Hotels]

The transition was going on during the length of our stay, but the service and accommodations were never lacking. The staff that I interacted with (front desk, concierge, housekeeping, bartenders) were all accommodating and eager to please. The hotel was very clean and modern. The fixtures and furniture were modern and stylish but still comfortable. The bedding and linens were clean and fresh. Housekeeping will come in and straighten your room each day, but they don't change the sheets every day. They will replace used towels with fresh ones which was nice. Right in the middle of London, it is easy walking distance to many, many things - museums, pubs, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westminster cathedral, and many more. We had a great stay and would not hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommended!

Service was great, I had a pickpocket issue on arrival to London, and the hotel security team was fantastic. They jumped right in and helped me file a police report and escorted me to my room since I was so upset. I greatly appreciated the kindness during such a tough situation. I heard the breakfast wasn't the greatest but the convenience was nice. Can't go wrong with a Hilton stay--thank you Westminster London!
