The staff were excellent and very helpful. The location is ideal and a short walk from Vauxhall travel stations. The atmosphere at night in the pub was great (live football). Dinner was excellent (calamari starter and burger main).

The noise at the back of the hotel was a bit loud and could hear staff out the back during their breaks.

Friendly staff and the convenience of the pub downstairs for having a drink or a meal after a long day of sightseeing. Transportation (by bus or subway) to the centre was was convenient (20 to 40 mins depending on the area). Quite decent breakfast (we had the British classic).

Staying somewhere close to the center of London is very expensive, as we all know. We were looking for a compromise in distance/price but felt that the value for money could be better. The decoration is a bit outdated and a bit too flowery for our taste (also, plastic flowers are a fire hazard). The room was a bit small and facing a wall, but quiet. The bed a bit too soft for my liking. In sum, it's fine and convenient for a few days of tourism but definitely not memorable.

Location was great, and despite being joined with a bar it was quiet and check-in was straightforward. Bed was comfortable and bathroom had the neccessary supplies. Staff was also really nice and helpful when needed. Also I got a complementary beer when checking in which felt like a heaven to receive on a hot day and after a lot of travelling.

Certain items from the included breakfast were not present during our stay, not a big issue but still something that happened. On the hotter days, the room was incredibly hot, with the fan not working properly it made it hard to sleep comfortably during the nights.

This was my third stay at the Griffin Belle and I keep returning, due to the wonderful welcoming staff there (Lauren and Michelle in particular), the fact it is a very welcoming, safe place for lone female travellers and also the proximity to the Oval cricket ground.

On this occasion, I had one of the smaller bedrooms and it was very hot in there. I did request a fan on the first night and was advised that there wasn't one available, but to request one again in the morning. I did that and was told it would be put in my room during the day, however this unfortunately didn't happen. On the previous two occasions I stayed, fans were already provided in the rooms.

This is the second year in a row we've chosen this hotel for our stay in London, and it definitely won’t be the last. Everything was perfect: the breakfast is delicious and plentiful, and the staff is always kind, present and helpful. A special thanks goes to Michelle, the lovely woman who welcomed us both this year and last. She is truly kind, helpful, charismatic, and very professional. This hotel was exactly what we needed. We highly recommend it if you're looking for comfort, a convenient location (bus stops, the tube, and the train station are all nearby, making getting around very easy), and a quiet area. Another highlight is the pub on the ground floor! We had the pleasure of dining there — the food was excellent, with generous portions.

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were extremely helpful and humble throughout my visit. They greeted me warmly and were always available whenever I needed assistance. Their hospitality truly made my experience special. The way the staff treated guests was exceptional and made me feel very welcome. Overall, it’s a lovely place to stay, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great service and comfort!"

"Honestly, everything was great during my stay. I didn’t find anything to dislike. The experience was smooth, comfortable, and well-managed by the staff."

The staff there was very nice and helpful. The interior design was very much to our liking. The food and drinks were always lovely and quickly at our table.

Not having a toilet brush for a week was pretty annoying and although the staff cleaned the toilets, when you are not alone in the room you need to be able to clean it throughout the day. One of our rooms (on the top floor) was kind of small and it was very hot in there at the end of the day which could hardly be changed because of the small window.

Lots to choose from at breakfast. Decor is fresh, modern, and SO pretty! Great, well-appointed rooms. Even contains a hair dryer, which I didn't expect. (This was not listed in "amenities" and I almost didn't book there because of that, so be sure to add it to your listing!) Great shower. Clean. Good service. Restaurant down below is lovely! Great food. Nearby bus/train stations.

The pillows are lumpy because they use some sort of egg crate foam. This is my biggest complaint - the pillows were not comfortable. I'd invest in actual pillows with stuffing. Other than that, very comfortable!

The staff were very attentive and so friendly. Extremely helpful at all times. Nice bed linen and very comfy bed and pillows. Perfect location as regards proximity to US Embassy. They offered to keep my bag while I went for my visa interview. That was so helpful. Only 2 stops from Waterloo on the Northern Line and only 5 minutes from the underground. I would certainly stay here again if needed to be in that area.

Curtains in my room were coming away from the track so didn't cover the window properly. Luckily I wasn't too disturbed by the light outside. Instructions on how to use the TV remote would have been helpful. The wi-fi wasn't good - found it hard to connect on many occasions, especially early morning.

The property was so cosy and warm as soon as we walked in the door of the pub. The pub area was beautifully decorated and although there were people watching the football, it was so calm and pleasant. But may I just say it’s your team of wonderful staff that make this place exceptional. I was very flustered and nervous about an interview at the US embassy, and one of the young ladies was ever so kind and thoughtful and waited for my uber with me as I was on a crutch and struggling with being overwhelmed. They even boxed me up a to go breakfast as I was too nervous to eat at the time. Absolutely wonderful people.

Nothing not to like! Just be aware there’s stairs :) but I was able to do them on my crutches
