The hotel very close to Metro and city centre: West Minster and Buckingam Palace 10 min. very nice walk. But rooms are uberably unclean, breakfast poor and the breakfast room not good smelling.

It has been the worst experience so far in my life. The hotel's quality equals to a youth hostel in terrible condition. The dirt in the room was disgusting, I could not even take a shower. I felt betrayed due to the complete difference of the photos of the hotel on the internet and the reality. And it is not about the size. If you pay so little, it is expected to get a really small room (hole i would say). But for God sake, at least clean the room!

the room was really noisy because the window was broken and just moved all the night. It was awful, we can't sleep and live at about 6 o'clock in the morning. The room is tiny and not very clean. The bed is not stable. The only positive point is the kindness of the receptionist. To end, this hotel is very expensive for the service it provides. A advice, avoid it.

Upon arrivel there was a bad smell (of damp) inside the building. Reception area & the main sitting areas were tiny & shabby looking. Room size was ok but again their was a funny smell inside the room. Window glasses were cracked & windows were difficult to open. Once opended they were difficult to shut or to keep them ajar (we were afraid that they may fall down). We could hear people living above us moving as floor boards were squeeking. Breakfast was a complete disaster. We had to queue. Tables & chairs were extremely uncomfy & there was little room between the tables. Staff serving needs a lot of training & so does the guys at reception. We didn't even bother going for breakfast after 1st day. Certianly not a 3 star accomodation. Call it 1-star or a B&B. Not a good value at all.

Les prestations ne correspondent absolument pas avec ce que l'on est en droit d'attendre d'un 3 étoiles. Le rapport qualité/prix reste cependant attractif par rapport aux tarifs londoniens, ville excessivement chère. La situation, très proche de Victoria Station est excellente, à 2 pas de Buckingham et des bus.

Ottima struttura per fare un week end, situata in zona centrale e molto ben collegata.Le camere sono un po tristi e non bisogna di sicuro mettersi a fare un controllo dell'igiene ma si sopravvive per 2 o 3 notti. La colazione inglese o continentale è abbondante. Buono rapporto qualità/prezzo.

lo stabile è in fase di ristrutturazione. durante il nostro soggiorno i lavori erano in pieno svolgimento ma non ci hanno arrecato alcun disturbo, anzi rientrando in albergo il secondo giorno abbiamo avuto la gradita sorpresa del cambio della moquette in camera (e meno male, perchè era davvero LERCIA, lisa e tagliata in più punti). il bagno era sufficientemente ampio, con un box doccia discreto. la pulizia: questo è il vero problema dell'albergo. appena arrivati, in camera abbiamo trovato polvere dappertutto, come se nessuno avesse mai spolverato da mesi (non scherzo). identica situazione nelle altre due camere occupate dalla nostra comitiva. con un pò di buona volontà ed un paio di asciugamani bagnati con i quali abbiamo provveduto ad una pulizia sommaria (insieme ad una massiccia dose serale di antistaminico per i nostri figli allergici) abbiamo evitato di rovinarci la vacanza. dobbiamo anche ringraziare il cambio della moquette che ha reso la camera più "vivibile" e confortevole. nella scelta delle camere, evitate accuratamente quelle del piano terra e del seminterrato. alla data della nostra permanenza (pasqua 2006) non erano state rinnovate ed erano in condizioni davvero inaccettabili. in conclusione, se ponessero maggiore cura alla pulizia delle stanze, una volta terminata la ristrutturazione (vista la velocità dei lavori, penso entro fine maggio - metà giugno 06) sarebbe un albergo da raccomandare per la posizione davvero ottima (a 5 minuti da victoria station, in un quartiere residenziale, molto silenzioso, signorile) e per il buon rapporto qualità/prezzo, considerando la media dei prezzi di londra.

It was a "bait and switch". The room was small, the bathroom a converted closet (very small) where you could not shower without the shower curtain (which smelled really bad) touching you. A shower soaked the entire bathroom. Wall paper hung loose from the ceiling. It was our last day in Europe, we had spent the most for this particular room thinking that we would "finish in style". It turned out to be the worst of everywhere we had stayed. Stay away from Hanover!!

It was an awful experience. The floor of the rooms were sloped and the doors of the furniture opened by itself. The room had just enough space for the bed and the bathroom was smaller than that of the airplains. We have to climb up to the third floor with our luggages by the narrow and very steep stairways, which had each step different of the others. Take care with the kind of breakfast they offer to you!!! If you take english breakfast they charge to your account about 4 extra pounds each time and each person. The breakfast included in the price is the continental one, and they don't tell you. We will never go back to this horrible site that names itself "hotel". We can't understand from were they stole the hotel's stars.

L'hotel mi ha deluso : era carente di pulizia;la camera (la n° 4 ) era minuscola altrettanto il bagno.Diciamo che,grazie al prezzo abbastanza basso e alla posizione davvero buona rispetto a Victoria Station,posso dire che tutto sommato...Comunque se dovessi essere costretto (con forza) a tornare nello stesso Hotel,pretenderei una camera nell'ala ristrutturata dell'hotel,un pò più confortevole e di sicuro non al piano -1 dove c'è la cucina per la colazione,che comporta la diffusione degli odori in tutto il piano!

Bueno, en general y viendo los precios de otros hoteles de la zona, se puede decir que está bastante bien. Al llegar tuvimos que pagar los 4 dias que teniamos reservados para podernos quedar y luego nos dieron una habitacion un dia y despues nos cambiaron a otras los 3 dias restantes. En recepcion no saben nada de español, pero nada de nada, pero bueno, nos trataron bien en general. Otra cosa es que estan haciendo reformas y estaban pintando los pasillos y demas y fue algo incomodo. Los mejor sin lugar a dudas es la situacion del hotel, a 5 minutos andando de la estacion Victoria (metro, tren y autobuses a todos lados). Lo recomiendo si lo que buscais es patear Londres y luego ir al hotel a dormir. Un saludo y deciros que en este misma calle a varios hoteles similares

Ideale per un soggiorno di qualche giorno, soprattutto apprezzabile la vicinanza a Victoria Station, che arrivando da Stansted è molto ben collegata. Enjoy London! ah, le cameriere della colazione, contrariamente al resto del personale dell'hotel erano stile militaresco, un po' scorbutiche... ma cio che conta per noi Italiani è che ci sia da magnà, e quell non mancava. Anche le stanze un po piccoline ma carucce, col bagno e tutto il resto.

la location è buona peccato che ci siano dei lavori in corso e che di questo non siamo stati avvertiti. Appena arrivati ci hanno fatto saldare il conto per le tre notti in cui dovevamo rimanere e poi ci hanno detto di fare attenzione perchè c'erano dei piccoli lavori...saliti al primo piano la situazine era imbarazzante! Calcinacci ovunque, fili elettrici penzolanti e scale da lavoro buttate a terra insieme a stracci! La camera era però pulitissima e anche la posizione era buona.

Other than that rudeness of one of Front Desk Staff, my stay at the Hanover was ok. SInce I arrive earlier than the usual check-in time, I was charge and 15 Pounds additional to cost. If I was not travelling all night from Paris to London , I would have taken my business elsewhere. I may or not may stay there again. Although the neighborhood has quite a few similar hotels in the Victoria Station area.

Holaa, el hotel no es gran cosa en si, no es un hotel de lujo, pero si buscas algo barato(al menos para londres) y bien situado, el hanover es un buen hotel. En la misma calle hay como 20 o mas hoteles casi identicos visto desde fuera, pero cojimos este, y creo que lo hicimos bien.. Las habitaciones: son pequeñas, pero si solo tienes q ir a dormir estan muy bien, cama grande, retrete, ducha, tele.. La situacion: el hotel esta situado a 5-10 minutos andando de la estación de victoria. Y en general basante centrico para ir andando a muchos sitios. Los empleados: muy simpaticos, nos dejaron adaptadores para los enchufes, aunque no nos funcionaba ninguno :( mejor llevaros de casa, o comprar,jeje. El desayuno: si reservas desde venere puedes escojer entre desayuno ingles o continental. el continental diria que es cereales con leche, el ingles te preparan huevo frito, judias, bacon y una especie de salchicha.. En ambos tienes cafe, leche, o zumo de naranja, y tambien tostadas con mantequilla o mermelada. Metodos de pago: por si alguien tiene dudas.. aceptan tarjetas Visa Electron también Un saludo!

Non andateci, non è accogliente. L'albergo è mal curato, mancanza di manutenzione (cose rotte non riparate es. tavoletta wc, piastrelle pavimento, vetri finestre ecc.). Le camere che danno sulla strada sono motlo rumorose. Le camere sono piccolissime, anguste. Nella prima camera dove siamo statti non c'era l'armadio ma solo un bastone malconcio con quattro stampelle e bagno mal ridotto (camera 25), l'altra (camera 17) era più grande perchè tripla (ma noi in due) ma il bagno era tipo quelli della nave prefabbricato in plastica piccolo con tavola wc solo poggiata. Ci sono due scale, noi siamo stati in quella di destra. Colazione in una piccola sala non accogliente al seminterrato ma almeno full english (uovo in camicia, bacon, fagioli, salcicciotto, oltre a latte, caffè, succo arancia, burro, marmellate e tost). Buona posizione vicina al terminal bus di Victoria. Comudo in bus 11 che porta a Trafalgar passando davanti al bigben.

la struttura era stata solo parzialmente ristrutturata, l'ala ove era posta la nostra camera no!; la pulizia della camera e del bagno lasciava molto a desiderare; la moquette era stracciata e molto sporca; le tende erano rotte; gli asciugamani erano sempre in numero inferiore al dovuto e quando erano dati erano mal lavati; la TV satellitare dava la possibilità solo di vedere 4 canali in lingua inglese; le prese elettriche, di tipo standard inglese, non disponevano di adattatori; la dislocazione sul territorio era il solo plus della struttura; in conclusione il rapporto qualità/prezzo era molto basso, anche se il costo di 90,00 sterline per camera/notte è modesto per una città come Londra.

i was very sorry to realise that the hotel facilities were very poor(damaged furniture and very narrow spaces and above allnon optimized)after i arrived to the room -Nr. 7 in the basement - a triple. EXTREMELY HOT almost unbarable for us and when we open the window we had a smell of gas that was very unpleasant, why? because all the sorts of gas were placed in the wall in front of our room so we had a great view and a lovely smell and we also had tv but it was broken...the hairdryer was so hot an slw that to burn my hair i would take a week and i only stayed 3 days. poor restaurant not good food but then again you are not suposed to eat well in London. very near victoria coach station not as near the undeground but good location only we believe that 3 stars is too much to define this hotel.

Maybe this is typical for accommodations around London. Room was extremely small and was overrated by the website. Not even one chair in the room. Carpet needs replaced. Bed needs replaced. NO AC....and no fan even though temperature was over 90ºF. No lift. Left the hotel as early as possible each day and returned as late as possible. Hotel needs to be gutted and refurnished.
