we got to Victoria station and went to the hotels desk, bad idea!! the man helped us book our 1 night stay at Huttons Hotel (said it was the only one available- he had a contract with the hotel) and said it was just outside the station, we payed less than the nightly rate and had 3 people in a room, but still felt that we payed TOO much.. once we stepped foot out of the station we must've seen approx. 20 budget hotels that were vacant.. halfway through the street, the name changes for about 2 blocks, and then changes back to what it was before.. plus all the hotels look the same so it gets pretty confusing and we got lost.. anyways ... the room was TINY! since we had 3 people, they just basically had a twin bed in addition to the double bed and there was barely any room to walk (besides the area infront of the bathroom and door) .. the bathroom was literally an airplane bathroom if not smaller. If your sitting on the toilet, one foot will probably be in the shower (and this is coming from someone that is 5'3, 125 lbs). The beds were not comfortable.
We felt safe though because outside the window were pricks. The breakfast was okay.. and the man that worked at night was really nice and helped us in any way he could. Overall, I'd probably pick a place closer to Victoria station.

Great location about 10 mins walk from Victoria station. Walking distance to Westminster, Hyde Park, Kensington. The room was a decent size for London and we got a really good price for a London hotel. The only downsides were that we were kept awake throughout the early hours of the morning with other guests coming back and stomping up the stairs and slamming doors on our floor, the floor below and the floor above which just resounded around the hotel. Full English breakfast was included in our rate but apparently that doesn't include bacon!!!

This was the worst experience we have ever had. Having travelled the world and knowing not to expect much from such an expensive city like London, we did not have very high standards. But this was well below any expectations that we had. We arrived and were put in a room in the lower basement down 2 flights of stairs which had absolutely no natural light that smelt of mould and cigarrete smoke. We then asked to move and were put in a room one level higher in a room that was a little better. It had a common toilet outside that every morning at exactly 6am someone would come and smoke their cigarrete in with the smoke wafting straight into our room. The bathroom resembled an aeroplane toilet and was not clean at all. The heating in our room was not adequate at all so we requested a portable heater. To which we were not provided with as there were only 7 which were all in use. We spent that night particuarly cold and contemplated checking out if the situation was not ammended. The breakfast was satisfactory and the staff in the breakfast room were very friendly.
With this negative review comes 2 positives. 1) All but one staff member at reception was incredibly helpful and friendly. 2) the location was perfect for seeing all the sights in London and access to Victoria Station was only 200m from the hotel. There are also many restaurants in the Belgravia area. There is also a Sainsbury's at the entrance of Victoria station, which is very convenient.

Very small room
Guest name: Themroc, London
Were in a double room for 3 nights..
The size of the bathroom(shower + wc) it's incredibile small..
Unless you are a midget, can be very hard to take a shower in there...Also the basin is very small, at the end you will have a kind of flood in the bathroom...and no light socket inside..
About the breakfast, a bit chaotic in there, not a wide variety of food...
Paid 45? per night, but I think the service could be a bit better...
