Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Reception staff just about average, more interested in getting Cc details even though i had paid my bill in full upfront, for extras i knew i wasn't going to have as no room service and just rock expensive drinks menu, room was unbearably hot , turned radiators off, opened window, but noisy road right outside and enormous street light right outside window both kept me awake all night along with the excessive heat of room.There was an aircon unit but no remote available to use it. Checked out early due to uncomfortable stay, Reception guy was uninterested, no pleasantries or even ask how my stay was, surely this is standard stuff. Room and bathroom were clean only positive. Will book elsewhere next time. Easy money for them with little thought to how their customers stay actually was.

I stayed several days at the Windermere Hotel. Easy walking distance to Victoria Coach station. I stayed in a single room, which was below ground. The room was small and very clean and the bed very comfortable. I liked that the window opened. The area is very quiet. The breakfast was very good. Great value for the money. I think the only downsides are, it's 15 minute walk to any variety of restaurants, and the front desk staff were standoffish. However, I would definitely return to the Windermere.

A quiet oasis in a busy city.

The owner has clearly thought through and provided all the amenities a guest reasonably would like to be provided with. Our shower room on the ground floor was a bit small and may not be suitable for everyone but otherwise our room was very comfortable, in particular the bed which was medium firm and supportive. The breakfast was excellent with great choices and service.

The hotel above average, I should say I do not expect spacious room like in Canada but comfortable enough for 3. Walking distance most of the sights, we use to hike no problem for us. The best part is the breakfast serves hot and the servers were wonderful..good coffee. I will stay in the duture. Excellent service.

Area was nice and felt secure, walking distance to Victoria station and close to nice shops and Harrods. Our hotel room was clean and neat. Breakfast was included and was very nice. Owners are involved in the service and were very pleasant, they even allowed us to leave our luggage as we need to go on a tour after checking out.Overall highly recommended and will definitely stay again if ever we go back to London.

Good hotel, centrally located - 10 mins walk from Victoria. Room was (expectedly) small - single room. It was clean and quiet. Shower etc was very good (although the sink was small). Easy check-in. I did not have breakfast. Overall, a good hotel for a good price.

The hotel itself was fine, but I was put into a small, close basement room. The size was to be expected for a single room, but it smelled musty, and was airless. Even though it was not warm outside, I still put on the A/C in order to sleep. Breakfast was fine.
