The staff was extremely helpful. Quite literally the most heartwarming and kind people I've met throughout a long series of trips. Very understanding, helped with my baggage and overall just an amazing experience. The hotel is super cozy and really gives off that old-London vibe.

The bed's aren't great to sleep on, but that's okay. Due to the location, everyone should be aware that you will be prompted with lots of noise, especially during the night, but you're central. There wasn't a lot of hygiene products (I've barely had soap for the length of my stay), but I could have probably reached out for more.

A typically compact budget single room. However, a lovely and rather elegant decor, as opposed to the usually more sterile budget room. Photos are very true Terrific location. 15 min walking distance to Victoria rail, Gatwick Express, Victoria Underground, and Pimlico underground. 15-20 min walk to Tate Britain. If you enjoy walking, a very doable walk past Buckinhgam Palace, via The Mall, to Trafalgar Square. Quieter end of Belgrave St. Attractive area with a number of local pubs and restaurants At q

As the hotel makes clear, there is no lift, which could pose a problem for some Would have welcomed one more hook on bathroom door

We enjoyed our stay in the Blades Hotel very much. Our room was small but clean and cozy and was very adequate. We did not hear any street noise and slept well. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The location is quite convenient: less than a five-minute walk from a nice little coffee shop, a great Indian restaurant, a good pub, and an underground station, and longer but easy walks to several popular tourist spots, e.g. Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, the Parliament Building, and the London Eye. We recommend the Blades and we will certainly stay there again if our travels take us to London.

The only slight negative about our stay is that there is no elevator so getting to the upper floors was a bit of a hike, but this was mentioned on their website so we were forewarned.

Super location near the subway station, walking distance to Victoria station. Very kind and helpful staff who offered us a free room upgrade, even though they didn't have to. Basic, but clean and fully sufficient conditions for a stay in London, focused not on staying at a hotel, but exploring London. The teapot was a nice extra touch. Accommodation in London is generally expensive. Under these circumstances, the price-quality ratio for this hotel is excellent!

No complaints. This is a budget hotel, so everything was great in this category.

Very close to the American Embassy, and Victoria which we needed for Gatwick plus the theatre

My god daughter and I were originally booked into a room on the 4th floor, after your receptionist watched us struggle the flight of stairs to reception for check in( as I am 75 years old and knees a bit dodgy) she kindly gave us a room on the ground floor, which one of the cleaners carried my case down for me which was very kind,

A beautiful old property in a grand residential road. High ceilings. Sense of space. Lovely light. Great location right near Pimlico tube. And 10 minutes walk from Victoria.

The room was a bit cramped so that eg the kettle was on a table under where your clothes were hanging. Tiny basin so impossible to fit kettle under tap.

Blades was located perfectly to navigate through Westminster and surrounding areas. The staff was absolutely lovely, allowing me to store my luggage and offered many great tips to settle into London.

This property was truly perfect as a solo traveler, but those hoping for a larger room will be disappointed. Be prepared for stairs and pack your luggage accordingly. For me this was perfectly fine, but I can see how some may struggle to lug cases up flights of stairs.

The hotel has a very nice Victorian charm to it, the location is wonderful, very close to the train station and walking distance from a lot of hot spots. The Staff was extremely friendly and we would definitely recommend this to someone looking for a good affordable place but with location as top priority.

No complaints really, the Staff was very accommodating to all requests, the room was not the cleanest but I guess that comes with the Victorian theme they have tried to create.

The staff was really nice and the location was central and safe. The beds and the bathrooms were clean and comfortable, even if they were really small.

There was no in-room storage like a dresser or closet, so be prepared to have your suitcases out and open a lot. There is also no food heating or cooling system for the building, do all meals need to be shelf stable or eaten out.

My partner and I were in London for about 12 hours on an overnight layover - I had never been so we walked/tubed the entirety of Westminster from this location, which worked out great. I saw ALL the major sites in the span of a few hours. We were upgraded from a double to a triple room and it was beneficial to have the extra space for all our luggage. The bathroom was tiny but functional. We had everything we needed for our short stay.
