This is fine for the budget conscious. Very small, but fairly clean with a decent bathroom.

Victor Hotel's rooms are very small but they're clear and confortable. the relationship between price/quality it's very good. It's right for your holiday because the hotel is near to underground, a bus to airport and ten minutes on footto Buckingham Palace. The staff isn't competent sometimes

Personale gentilissimo e disponibile, stanze molto pulite, colazione abbondante di tipo continentale. Unico problema: scale ripide e strette e mancanza di ascensore. Se avete problemi o la valigia pesante richiedete le stanze al piano terra (4-6). Le stanze 1-3 si trovano nel seminterrato accanto alla cucina e sono poco luminose. Fermata del bus di fronte all'albergo; Victoria station a cinque minuti di cammino.

This hotel has more rooms than it does dining tables, and after fifteen minutes of waiting in a narrow hallway and passed by a silent waitress at least four times I gave up on breakfast. I did't bother calling the next morning. Breakfast was included in the price.

L'Hotel è situato in ottima posizione. Detto questo, lo spazio delle camere è decisamente insuficiente per due persone. Le camere non possono essere definite sporche, ma il tutto è molto logoro. In camera era persistente l'odore del fumo di sigaretta che negli anni ha impregnato la moquette. Il bagno non consente agevolmente di muoversi ad una persona sola. Non vi è presenza di bagnoschiuma o shampoo ma di semplice saponetta. Su quattro giorni di soggiorno programmato, al secondo abbiamo preferito pagare una penale di 65 sterline e cambiare hotel.

Tiene deficiencias en las habitaciones, pero por tratarse de Londres donde todo tiene un alto precio puede considerarse una estancia regular. El desayuno es muy limitado y no ofrecen un tradicional desayuno ingles. La distancia a la estación central de trenes es corta pero por la noche es obscura, en un próximo viaje recomendaría otra ubicación.

The Victor Hotel is located optimally near Victoria station (10 min walk, buckingam palace and Westminster. The rooms are very little, but clean and quiet. No lift represent a difficult with the luggage. We stay in hotel just to sleep, and in this case the hotel it is sufficient. The price is convenient and we are satisfied.

Convenient to Victoria station and, therefore, adequate for a one night layover. Quite a few restaurants and pubs within a few blocks. However the room was small - barely enough space to open two small suitcases. While it was cool outside (20C/68F) our room on the second floor was hot as the window didn't open. The sheets were clean but the blanket was stained. The thinnest pillows I have ever seen! Bathroom was clean. At the start of our trip we stayed in the Earl's Court area and that room was a better value for the money. This was adequate for an overnight layover.

THE HOTEL OCCUPIES A PERFECT SITE BETWEEN VICTORIA AND PIMLICO. BUS AND UNDERGROUND GIVE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES. GOOD RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRICE/QUALITY. BREAKFAST IS ALL RIGHT. YOU MUST BE LUCKY NOT TO BE GIVEN A 4TH FLOOR ROOM:THERE'NO ELEVATOR AND STAIRS ARE VERY IMPRESSIVE. ANYWAY, THE HOTEL IS OK!

Hotel is about 10 mins walk from Victoria station, if you are coming in via the tube head towards the signs for the rail station otherwise you will have to walk around the building! Hotel itself is clean. The building & reception areas are very nice, the staff that we met were very friendly and helpful.Our 2 two rooms were at the front and were noisy the windows are NOT double glazed and with a busy road outside until at least 2am it may keep you awake or the mattress will as it was very firm! Other than that the rooms & bathrooms were clean.

Hotel sencillo, pequeño y limpio. Con desayuno incluido bastante correcto. Habitación pequeña pero suficiente, con baño limpio y ducha con mampara. Arreglaron la habitación a diario, y todo muy correcto. Excelente hotel por su relación calidad/precio. Parada de metro Pimlico al final de la calle, y cercano a la estación Victoria -10 minutos a pie-(si vienes en autobús desde el aeropuerto y paras en Victoria es una excelente opción dado que puedes ir andando sin complicaciones). Muy recomendable.

la facciata dell'hotel è molto carina, il personale abbastanza disponibile e parlano un inglese orecchiabile per noi italiani. le stanze sono molto piccole con moquette e bagno in camera. La colazione inclusa e abbondante. Victor hotel si trova vicino a Victoria Station ed ha la fermata del bus proprio davanti all'hotel. Per un viaggio come il nostro di 5 giorni in cui si usciva la mattina e si rientrava a sera per dormire è validissimo!

El hotel es una típica casa Victoriana. Aunque las habitaciones son muy pequeñas, la limpieza es excelente. El desayuno está bastante bien: desayuno continental (zumo, café, croissant,...). Es una zona supertranquila y en el hotel no se oye ni un ruido. Está muy cerca de Victoria Station así que puedes acceder a cualquier sitio por metro, bus o tren. En general, aunque el precio no es muy competitivo, merece la pena.

I had a great time at this hotel. I stayed in a single room. The only problem was the traffic noise. The bus kept coming by every 10 mins which didn't help me sleep well. Great bar near the hotel -- forgot its name, but friendly people there!

El hotel está muy bien. Buena zona. He estado en 4 hoteles distintos en la misma zona y reconozco que ha sido uno de los mejores. Desde luego si continuan con el mismo precio repetiría. El desayuno fenomenal. La habitación también muy bien, lo mismo que el cuarto de baño. La zona a mí me parece perfecta por la proximidad con la Victoria Station, apenás ruidos por las noches y eso que nos tocó una habitación que daba a la calle. Merece la pena.

La palabra adecuada al hotel es "correcto" en España seria una pensión, y tiene 3 estrellas es una casa victoriana toda de madera excepto la fachada, habitación de unos 5m 2 camas de 90 armario,mesita,mesa con secador incorporado y lavabo con ducha de un 1m+/- toallas, que cambian a diario y hacen la cama. Desayuno incluido, 2 tostadas o dos croissant, mermelada, café y zumo (bien justito pero bien) Esta localizado a unos 200 metros de la estación de metro de pimlico(hay un pub justo a la salida de esta estación que se llama the galery(ideal para cenar ))y a unos 500 de victoria station. La zona es del todo Recomendable, mas bien diría de clase medio-alta. Cuando vuelva a Londres es muy posible que repita este hotel o buscaría otro cerca de una estación de metro, que funciona de maravilla para moverse allí.

In four weeks of travelling Europe, this was the worst. One receptionist was confused by the smallest greeting, while the other was very capable and kind. The wallpaper in our room (#1) was peeling in huge strips from cracked walls. Graffiti decorated the remaining wallpaper. The ceiling had suspicious stains. There was no space to turn around- if two people were in the room, one had to sit on the bed and raise their feet for the other to pass. The shower was so tiny you nearly had to get out to retrive what you had dropped (I am only five feet tall with small/medium build!). There was a trick to flushing the toilet as the handle and tank did not work properly. The room was hot and stuffy with the window open and fan on all hours. Five minutes before breakfast was over, I could not get a cup of coffee- kitchen man seemed extra-gleeful in his refusal. We did have a reading lamp. I found much better deals in Bayswater- worth the tube trip or cab rides for the comfort of a recently- graded three-star. (In what decade did the Victor get 3 stars?!?)

I will never again stay at Victor Hotel. Really, cheap does not mean good, I have to think always about it. Rooms stinks with cigarette smoke as no separate non-smoking rooms. Rooms look gloomy. The bed was just awful - probably the cheapest type of bed you can find in the whole UK. Breakfast is included, but it was a queue to a dining room in the morning, and I did not have any breakfast as felt stupid to queue. In the web guidance it was written: the nearest station is Victoria, which is not true - it is Pimlico, which is 3-5 minutes of walk. For my taste the hotel was too far from civilization, the area rather reminded me of residential area. The receptionists were quite good except for one (a woman looking as Armenian or Gypsy, sorry, no names provided - this is also a minus btw - that is why I have to refer to how she looked like). I could not open the room and had to ask her to come up with me - she showed me how unhappy she was and was quite rude with me. Really, London in general is spoilt with the number of tourists coming. And some hotels may afford providing poor service. Really, two night I stayed there were not enjoyable at all. Never ever again I will stay at Victor Hotel and needless to say would not recommend it to my friends!

Das Victor Hotel befindet sich in einer ausgesprochen netten Gegend, sehr gut mit dem 24er Bus erreichbar (vor der Tür), ist klein aber durchaus ok. Die Räume sind klein. Dusche und Toilette waren gut und sauber (Zi17), Fön, Teekocher und TV verfügbar. Zimmer ist lange nicht renoviert (Riß in Decke, löchrige Tapete, etwas angestaubt) lag zur Strasse; Lärm noch erträglich da Isolierglasfenster. Bett bequem (nicht ausgelegen); Fenster ließ sich nicht ganz schließen (Griff defekt) aber Heizung funktionierte. Frühstück (continental) ok, Personal sehr freundlich! Allerdings wies man uns trotz langer Reservierung bei Ankunft ein verräuchertes Kellerzimmer an. Erst nach energischem Protest Zimmer im 3. Stock. Insgesamt, auch aufgrund der zentralen Lage, des freundlichen Personals sowie des noch günstigen Preises kann man durchaus ein befriedigend vergeben.

Situato in una via residenziale molto tranquilla ma allo stesso tempo ben collegata in quanto vicinissima alla fermata Pimlico ed alla stazione Victoria. Il prezzo è basso non solo in relazione agli standard di Londra, ma anche di molte città italiane molto meno famose! Il servizio è stato distaccato ma cortese. Il personale si è rivelato paziente con due poveri ignoranti che fanno fatica ad esprimersi in un inglese compresibile! La stanza era molto piccola, ma d'altronde a Londra lo sono anche negli hotel 4 stelle! Il bagno era nuovo e pulito. Siamo arrivati di martedì ed il giorno dopo ci hanno cambiato comunque gli asciugamani. Il letto era comodo e c'erano molte coperte, che comunque non sono state necessarie perchè il riscaldamento era sempre piuttosto alto. Non fanno la colazione all'inglese, ma servivano the, caffè, latte, cereali, croissant, marmellate, pane tostato, ecc. Più che sufficiente per affrontare la giornata carichi di calorie. Nel complesso ci siamo trovati molto soddisfatti e, se i prezzi resteranno così bassi, ci torneremo sicuramente.

In complesso mi sono trovata bene, la stanza era pulita e ci fornivamo di asciugami puliti ogni giorno. Il bagno è piccolissimo, ma sono tutti così a Londra. La colazione servita è tipica inglese, ma è buona e pulita è anche la zona per la colazione. La posizione è perfetta, l'albergo si trova fra Pimplico e Victoria Station e se non vi va di fare 5 minuti a piedi potete prendere il bus che si trova proprio davanti l'hotel. Se dovessi tornare a Londra credo proprio che sceglierei di nuovo questo hotel. Buono è il rapporto qualità-prezzo.

This a great hotel in a great area. Very safe too. Smack dab in the middle of one of the best areas in Central London. Only ONE BIG flaw, and this applies to many hotels I have visited. The lighting in the rooms is terrible and there are NO reading lamps. Almost all travellers want to read in bed, so why are there no reading lamps. This is so important and truly a complete mystery as to why hotel proprietors do not take action. It is not expensive at all to install good reading lamps. Apart from that this hotel is great value for money, even the breakfast was fine for the price.

The Victor Hotel is exactly as described. The staff is friendly and the hotel is a great bargain for this part of London. Would definitely recommend or stay again. Could not rate hotel well on noise because there was sidewalk construction the whole time we stayed -not in their control - but we actually stayed 11 days.
