Sidney Hotel London-Victoria

1. Daily fresh towels and toiletries. 2. Kettle and coffee & tea. 3. Convenient to take a train & bus. 4. Complimentary breakfast

1. Room was small but the furniture was intelligently arranged. I got the biggest room for single occupancy apparently. 2. Walls are quite thin, u can hear your neighbours. But it can get very quiet at night. 3. Overpriced, I believe as the room was small. An option for a very short stay, maybe an Air Bnb could be a better option for a longer stay.

Super clean , WiFi good, kitchenette very useful, nice quiet street especially considering close to amenities. Great night's sleep.

No bedside lamps, so reliant on main light which was a real shame once in bed. Bed itself very comfy but did slide very easily on wood floor, even when sitting on edge of bed or getting in to bed. Top floor, many stairs, but we laughed about our aging knees.

The room was exactly as expected and what we paid for, two nights in a double for £300. Clean, better than a basic Travelodge and exceptionally well sited for our needs. The reception staff were extremely polite and helpful to everyone we saw them coming into contact with. The hotel itself was within walking distance of Victoria and Pimlico stations and numerous bars and restaurants whilst in a quiet, safe residential area.

Not a problem for me, but several people were caught by the insistence on requiring photo ID and the actual card used when making booking or face problems signing in. It may well be small print but not obvious and one lady with children had simply had a replacement bank card since booking, same bank account. Even though the account showed as paid she was made to pay again and then seek an original refund from her bank for the first booking. It seemed very unnecsesary and not made plain enough. I travel a lot and was not aware of this.

It's located at walking distance from Pimlico and Victoria tube stations. The staff was super helpful and extremely nice. The room are not very big, but they're cozy, furniture is new and -above all- they're clean! Booking last minute I was able to get a basic single room for less than 100£/night which I think is very good for the area.

Rooms are not very big, but -like I said- they're cozy, furniture is new and they are very very clean, which is more than you can say for most hotels in London, so that's all I needed, really.

Very friendly staff, the place was nice and clean room with it's own bathroom and amenities such as coffee and milk, in addition to bathroom products, the room had a safe, TV, hair dryer, bedside table with mirrors , very nice decoration. In general, we liked it a lot, the restaurant small but cosy and the included breakfast had cereals, milk, coffee, toast, juices and eggs. The location was incredible because we were steps away from the most emblematic tourist places and the Victoria station 5 minutes from the hotel.

The next door neighbour made noise all night long and there was continuous banging like construction or something.

The location is close to so many attractions, we walked to Westminster, Lambeth, Vauxhall and Southwark. Tate Britain, Westminster Abbey, Parliament and Big Ben are in walking distance (10 mins). It's just a 30 min walk to Imperial War Museum. Pimlico and Victoria underground is close by if walking isn't your thing. It's a relatively quiet area compared to some parts of London. The buildings in Pimlico are beautiful, iconic Regency architecture and we stayed on the same street Laurence Olivier was once a former resident of (Lupus Street). If we weren't in London, we could have spent our break just exploring Pimlico, just round the corner was where Bram Stoker, lived and died, we also spotted a blue plaque bearing Francis Crick's name. Churchill once had a place here on Eccleston square. We stayed in an apartment on Lupus Street, which had plenty of space, a kitchen/lounge, large en-suite shower and good sized bedroom. Take a tea towel if you intend to use the kitchen, washing up liquid was provided. There was also a handy washing machine, fridge, microwave, toaster and stove top oven.

No dimmer lights or lamps, so it's either lights on, or off, no subtle lighting for evening or reading at bedtime. A wobbly toilet seat. Otherwise, no issues.

Clean room with comfortable bed. Good shower. Nice neighborhood. Very friendly and professional staff. Also a “good” view = in the past in London I was usually looking at a brick wall or dumpsters, here you have the view of the picturesque street. Power outlets for EU and UK in room.

Breakfast is free but also very limited. The room got very warm quickly because it was nice outside (23 C)

The room was very clean and the staff were really helpful

The 'continental' breakfast consisted of toast, jam and a few pieces of orange - as it was complimentary we couldn't really grumble but we did expect to see a pastry or two....

Room and front desk staff were great, breakfast that was offered was a nice plus and the central location and bus stop out front made getting around the city a breeze. Very close to both Pimlico and Victoria underground stations as well. Air con was a blessing.

A few times housekeeping left things in my room, cleaning chemicals once and a key card another time. One of the days I'd left the "room is free for servicing" sign on my door, went out for several hours and nothing was turned over. Not entirely sure the bedsheets were changed each day or just remade. Balcony door was also left open when they left one day as well. All are minor issues but if you're asking for negatives, those were it. Also the TV placement sucks, it's above the desk and above the mirror opposite the bed so you really need to crane your neck to see it. It's immaterial as I wasn't there to watch TV but it's worth mentioning.

Location is great and central, staff is helpful and friendly (at reception as well as the cleaning ladies and waitresses), hotel and rooms are clean. They also have a big and secure luggage room if you need to leave your bags there.

-we were allocated a very small room, there was not enough space in the bedroom:we had two big suitcases, we put one suitcase under the bed, but the other one had to lay in the room, which take half of the room. Even though we did not hang around there too long, we felt crammed whenever we got back to our room. -bed was a bit too small for 2 people.
