I have been staying at the Pestana when in London for a few years already. Excellent location, made even more attractive by the nearby development of the Battersea Power Station site (shops, restaurants, bars) and new transportation links (Northern line, riverboat, bus). Also, access to private parking next door. I noted that breakfast has improved since my last visit. Good variety, including hot food. Rates are going up but, overall, it still represents reasonable value for money in central London.

The need for rejuvenation is becoming more urgent. Bathrooms in particular look very dated, with dim lighting . Gym is very small, with limited equipment. Reception staff can occasionally be overwhelmed.

Bed was huge, bath was amazing.

The pool was small and there was not enough loungers once a few couple’s had already claimed them. And the steamroom seems to have seen better days.

Room was very large and well equipped - bed was huge and extremely comfortable. Staff were very professional and friendly and we were able to check in early, which was very much appreciated. The location is perfect for exploring South of the River or North West London.

The pool area and sauna are very small and sadly the day we were there, there were some very loud guests who appeared to be intoxicated and were singing loudly and quite heavily petting, which made us and the other guests a little uncomfortable. It's about a 15 or 20 minute walk to the nearest tube station.

5 minute walk from Battersea Power Station, lovely location. Staff were excellent especially bar staff.

No dislikes, just wish it maybe had better in room coffee facilities.

Modern and stylish hotel with good facilities and welcoming staff. We were only in London briefly for an appointment but the staff were accommodating and understanding of our requirements. The reception area and bar was pleasant. The room was spacious and stylish, with an excellent bathroom with both a shower and a bath. There was a good range of television channels in the room including sports channels. Location was excellent for the Chelsea, Kensington and Battersea neighbourhoods. 2 nice parks nearby, and good transport links for buses and trains. Spa and wellness facilities available, although we did not have time to use these.

We had no issues at all during our stay

Easy access into and out of London. Great shopping and restaurants close by.

Very low 4 star. Nice comfy bed, but no toiletries, in the bathroom, like shower cap, tissues, ear buds etc

Large room, very comfortable bed and crisp luxurious bed linen; bath and shower; very friendly welcome and efficient receptionist; well located. Lovely Christmas festive decor in lobby. Pool.

Luke warm tea and coffee at breakfast. Breakfast was good quality eg decent bacon and sausage quality. However for the price/standard of this hotel, eggs (fried and scrambled) could have been better refreshed through the latter part of breakfast as had cooled and congealed. An earlier check in time or later standard checkout time by just an hour would have meant we would have made use of the pool despite a one night stay, which would have added to the overall experience. Please consider.

I liked the easy, stress free check-in, the room size, the bathroom was better than my expectations. Everything was easy.

cost of the adjacent car park and no concessionary arrangements for hotel guests.

The overall feeling of the hotel was relaxing. The room is well laid out and clean. The bedding and linen was awesome. There is a spa area which we didn't use but looked very inviting. The restaurant had a great menu & the service was awesome. Mo in the restaurant went over & beyond in his roll with making guests feel very welcome as did the other staff working with him. The convenience to Battersea Park Shopping centre & restaurants , the four mins walk to the bus service & 10mins walk to the train station. The hotel is across the road from a great park, so early morning walks were great.

This is just a suggestion but it would be nice if some of the cleaning staff could acknowledge guest with a good morning, whilst this is nothing huge but would a nice greeting.

Modern hotel with for London spacious rooms for the price. The location is not very central and the access is only convenient by bus. Underground stations (Victoria, Battersea Park) are some walk away. The surrounding with the renovated Battersea Power Plant is very modern with a lot of shops and restaurants nearby. Staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is as to be expected in such a hotel. The hotel honoured perfectly my wish for a room with certain view and floor.

The second room I had within a few days in the hotel was a bit more worn than the previous one and at the brink of a makeover for the furniture. At breakfast the temperature of hot food and coffee could be a bit higher.
