B & B Belgravia

We stayed here and May. The rooms were basic and decent. No AC but rooms had fans. No frill place but clean, safe, and serviceable. Breakfast and coffee were great. The problem is we were charged twice for our stay and the hotel will not get back to us to refund us. we were charged at the time of reservation and again at check-in. I was pretty sure we were already charged but were told their policy was to charge at check-in. Either that was a lie or a mistake was made. Either way, they will not refund our money and we are forced to dispute the charge. So, BEWARE!

I chose this place partly because of location and partly because it was recommended by Rick Steves. I regret it. Let's start with what's good. The location is definitely prime. It's just blocks from Victoria Station and the tube. Secondly the staff is fairly friendly. They did make me pay for my stay upfront which seemed odd to me. I've always paid for a stay anywhere when I check out.

The breakfast was good and there's always free coffee or tea, and shortbread cookies in the lobby. All good. But the room itself was horrible. It was in the basement. It was always damp with a musty odor. There was one window you could open if you want anyone to look in or anything to fly in. The bathroom window doesn't open and the exhaust fan doesn't do a thing.

It makes a very loud noise but doesn't remove any moisture. The water was literally running down the walls. There are no towel rack anywhere. No place to hang wet bath towels and no place to hang a hand towel. When you wash your hands you have to dry them on your shirt. The sink has a stopper but it doesn't work either. Every day I thought I'd lose a contact lens down the drain.

My brother tried to wash out a shirt, but with little success. And after hanging in the damp room it was still wet 3 days later. The hot water is a joke. It takes about 5 minutes of running the water for it to get hot. Then trying to regulate it in the shower you can get either scalding or cold. The last 2 days we had no hot water at all. None. We let it run a full 15 minutes and it wasn't even warm.

And there is no place to sit anything in the bathroom. You can lay your toothbrush on the sink but there no counter space anywhere. There's one teeny tiny shelf but it's taken up by the free toiletries they supply. Also there's no holder for the toilet paper. When you're sitting on the toilet you have to turn completely around and reach it on the window sill behind you.

The free wifi was spotty. Maybe because we were downstairs. But frequently I had to go to the lobby to connect. Also, because we were downstairs we were awakened every morning at 7:30 when breakfast started. The breakfast room was directly above us so you heard all the clomping of footsteps of the other guests and all the chairs being pulled out and pushed in. There was no way to sleep through it. Perhaps a room upstairs would have a towel rack, or hot water or wifi or fresh air. But the downstairs "family" room was horrible!

Amazing price, the studio room was pretty big and the bed was so comfy I had a great nights sleep.

Amazing location, good value for money, clean and comfortable, very friendly and helpful staff

I don't usually right reviews, my daughter and I stayed at the B+B Belgravia a couple of weeks ago for a few days, it was lovely very central the staff were really nice. Unfortunately we took unwell, the staff couldn't do enough to help us, even though we were due to go home and they were fully booked. As we had to stay a few extra days, they arranged for us to stay at their sister hotel, the Astors. So a big thank you to both places, we are a lot better now.

Simple but cozy, although perhaps too simple and might need some refreshing. Bad sound isolation, especially from the staircase and the road. Steep stairs and no elevator. Pleasant breakfast with egg dishes (as well as other heated food) made to order. Location is good since it is close to Victoria station where you can access the tube/underground and buses.

You can get to Victoria station from Heathrow with the tube. It's also relatively close to the Victoria Palace/Apollo Theatre if you're interested in musicals. A good place to stay if you wish to only have a hotel to sleep for a few nights.

Enter this property you could feel inviting very Cosy homelike vibration. staff is friendly & helpful. nice lobby & garden area to unwind after the city tours. centrally located. easily accessible to main attraction of London. had a memorable stay with friends & the co guest. & not to forget healthy breakfast. Overall value for money & time. highly recommended.

Poor. I've stayed in similar - quality rooms in Earls Court for about 50 per night (and been satisfied for that price, but 120 here is way overpriced). Breakfast is cereal and toast in the fridge. The coffee pot in the room was dirty and needed washing up. Convenient for Hamilton though, and room was otherwise clean.

We booked the place at Bocking because of its location near Victoria Station in London. We were surprised to find that we had clean rooms that were nice and comfortable. In a renovated house. The lobby was nice and cozy with a coffee machine and cold water tea and even as many free cookies as you like. Breakfast was great. In a cozy dining room. The team is dynamic and welcoming and completed the experience of delay. Equivalent to every pound paid for both location and team.

I am updating a previous review that expressed my utter disappointment in them. The groups manager Kati Latchford reached out to me herself and took care of everything that needed to be done! She understood my circumstance and was supportive enough to refund me the entire amount. I would recommend this hotel based on kindness alone, and if I am ever in London, will most certainly stay here. Thank you Ms Latchford!

Very happy with this place, great location and price, very clean and quiet. The Polish girls and guys running this place are pros, on top of everything. Would certainly stay here again, its very close to Buckingham Palace, Paddington Station and other attractions.

This place is a real DUMP. Service, arrived at about 12:30am, rang the doorbell with no response, again, again and again. After 10 minutes standing in the rain, about to leave, I hear scurrying inside. Quickly checked in, and was pushed right back out the front door, to escort myself to the unwanted step child hotel down the block. Walk up to the second floor with my heavy bag into a dingy old room.

TV didn't work, nasty carpet, cracking tile, springy mattress, ewwww. BREAKFAST, ,,,, was make it myself from the plastic wrapped stale croissants left in my fridge. Swear to the hotel gods, it was a do it yourself breakfast. Great location, so it gets one star. Stay away from this dump.

We stayed during a beautiful and warm weekend. However, we wish there would have been air conditioning and a top/flat sheet instead of just a heavy comforter in the room. Our room was probably even hotter because we were on the 4th floor (no lift). Also, we only had hot water for about 1 minute per day. Cold showers are no fun! We wish there would have been somewhere to hang our towels in the bathroom and somewhere in the bathroom to put our toiletries.

The bed was on the firm side. However, the location was great, so close to Victoria Station. The staff was great, our room was clean, and we enjoyed the full English breakfast included with our room. We do feel like we paid too much for what we got.

Great hotel, great room, great staff, great service. Really nice communal area where you could get free coffee, which is a good idea. Nothing was to much trouble, we even got into room 3hours early. Definitely going again.

I understand lodging in London is expensive and this B & B in the very nice Belgravia neighborhood, close to Buckingham Palace and lots of nice walking venues and restaurants comes at a good price point. The highlights are the adequate breakfast, cooked to order by friendly staff, and the location. BUT, the room we were in (#13) was pretty funky. Very large windows, with poorly fitting shades, facing the loud busy street with a nearby streetlight blaring in all night long.

We had to use hangers to be able to have the windows stay open for ventilation with the shades down. One shade was badly deformed, hardly blocked incoming light at all, and could not be raised completely. One light fixture above the sink was broken, the other was missing a bulb. There was a drip coming out of the light fixture in the shower. And the sliding glass door to the toilet provided little privacy as it did not close completely or even stay in the most closed position it allowed.

There is inadequate space to hang towels and the shower has no surface on which to place soap and shampoo except the floor. I told all of this to the manager, and the light fixtures were fixed after two days and the shade was marginally straightened. Maybe the other rooms are better. I hope so.

I love this little bed and breakfast. It's well situated a block or so from a subway stop in an upmarket residential part of London and you get to pretend you live there. With its modern Ikea-meets-Design Within Reach decor, you never feel like you're at some lame mid-tier chain hotel or your grandparent's spare bedroom. Breakfast is generous and professionally staffed.

No itchy small talk. No weird family recipes you feel pressured to try. Everything is pretty standard and comfortingly impersonal without being unfriendly. Hot items (eggs, breakfast meats, etc.) as well as cold items (cereal, fruit, croissants, muffins) are available. Various juices and milks (even soy milk) are also available. And, if you have really unique dietary concerns, you can call ahead and they will make sure they have what you need when you arrive.

Do you like espresso based drinks? They have a commercial grade automatic espresso maker in the lobby that pumps the stuff out in whatever form you'd like (lattes, cappucinos, etc.) 24-7. Gratis. They also have free WiFi. Although there is no elevator, because it's a residential walk-up, who cares? If you pack light or have your husband haul your suitcases up the stairs, it is no problem.

Great price point. Great value. I would say this bed and breakfast is best in class. A word of warning. Don't forget you're in London and accidentally plug your Sonicare toothbrush in without borrowing an adapter.
