Excellent location, friendly staff, very clean, would recommend.
Pros:

Very friendly and welcoming staff. The room was well sized, very clean and good amenities. The tea and coffee supplied was plentiful. Bathroom was very clean and a good supply of hot water. The location was also very good, within a short walking distance of two tube stations.

Cons:

We were not notified until we arrived that the room was on the fifth floor. This could be an obstacle for some people.

Very nice family run hotel in excellent location.
Pros:

This is a small, family run hotel. They care about their guests having a good experience. Our room was very clean, comfortable and quiet. We overlooked neighbour’s leafy gardens so no street noise. The curtains were black out ones. The owners were very friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

Nothing.

In general, very lovely hotel in a classic London building. The staff was kind and friendly and let us keep our luggage
Pros:

Impeccably clean rooms, good mattresses. The room has a kettle, cups, tea, coffee and complimentary cookies. Shampoo and soap were also provided. There’s also a small ventilator.

It’s located roughly 15 minutes walk from Victoria station and there are plenty good restaurants and pubs around.

What was especially convenient having several Santander Cycle Hire stations around - the cheapest way to move around London.

Cons:

In general it was quite noisy at night, because the doors let in all the noises from the outside. Also, we left the window open during the night, but the street was so noisy because of the passing cars and buses that we woke up all the time.

Unfortunately, that’s the biggest downside of having a room looking at the street, so I’d recommend to ask a room that looks at the backyard.

Also we were surprised that there wasn’t a refrigerator, which made it hard to bring snacks in. It’s fine if you’re up for a short stay but we usually travel with our daughter and not having a small fridge, especially when it’s so hot, is a problem for us.

Pros:

The location was great with walking distance to major attractions and the room was clean.

Cons:

The receptionist was quite impolite. There was no welcoming or anything like that and she basically repeated a few sentences like a tape recorder. It was quite poor.

A beautiful and comfortable family run hotel. Everyone was kind and helpful! The rooms were very nice, Great hot water in the shower, location was perfect, very near to Westminster abbey, between two underground stations, a bus stop half a block away.
