Corona Hotel

I was pleasantly impressed. I booked at the last minute as I had an interview in London. I arrived very late but was welcomed and quickly served. The room was small but I didn't need much as I was only there too sleep. It was clean and modern as was the bathroom (Large power shower). I had booked through a cheap late room booking service and got a good deal. Continental Breakfast was nothing to write home about but was enough to get me through untill lunch time. The one gripe was it was like an oven and I could find how to switch... more

This hotel can't be beat on location, cleanliness and service. After two days of travel from the states we arrived at the hotel at 9.00am, check in is typically 2pm. We were imediately checked in to our room 5 hours early. The rooms are small but modern, clean and comfortable. You don't go to London to sit in your hotel room anyway! The bathroom is brand new with excellent water presyure. I am a British citizen now living in the U.S. and have stayed in tons of these boutique hotels when visiting home. This is by far the best ever. Easy... more

We have stayed at the BestWestern Corona Hotel in Belgravia, London twice in the past 3 years. The rooms are small but the location and price were good. The hotel is clean, has an elevator and a friendly, helpful staff. The continental breakfast has improved both in variety and quality since our first stay. It is close to both the Victoria train station and the Victoria Coach Station which provides convenient bus service to Stansted Airport.

We had booked through the Best Western site and so assumed all would be OK.... we were wrong. There was a record of my reservation but not payment, so I needed to pay again. The story has a happy ending though as I emailed the Best Western group and advised my situation and they quickly and cheerfully fixed it up. Well done Best Western. The hotel is a real long walk from Victoria Station, especially in the rain. It is much closer to Pilmco. Breakfast is Continetal style and lots of it. Room was smallish, but tidy, clean... more

We stayed at the hotel on 2 occasions as a base between waterloo station to and from paris on our holiday. On both occasions the rooms were ok but the bathrooms were like cupboards! i wouldn't like to think how larger sized guests manage to squeeze between the loo,basin and shower (and i am not being rude!) On our first night before we left for paris the next morning, we asked reception to call us a taxi to take us to waterloo the next morning, which they did but it cost us £15 and the car did not have a meter in it, my boyfriend said to... more

We are pleasantly surprised by the value of this hotel after staying there for a week in September. It is located within walking distance from Victoria Station, which makes it convenient if flying into Gatwick and taking the Express to Victoria. The closer Tube station to the hotel is Pimlico. If you don't mind walking, it is possible to walk (albeit a long walk) to all the major sights such as Westminster, Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, etc. The room, although small is clean and has all the essentials including... more

The rooms were very clean (family of four) comfortable, nicely decorated. The small size was Ok with us. The shower was great! The staff was helpful. they kept us supplied with tea for the room. The location was not to bad. I'm 56 and was able to walk with a 60# backpack from the train station. We would stay here at again. A true value for our money. They don't have wash cloths, so bring your Owen ;) The Deitz Wilmington, NC

I stayed at the hotel a couple of years ago, and it was clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. The staff where pleasant, and the breakfast was good [continental as expected] There was plenty to eat, and plenty of choice, and it was included in the price. Cooked breakfast was available at a supplement, but we where happy with the inclusive continental. Ok the room was on the small side, but it is a budget hotel. Plenty of hot water, and clean comfortable beds. would stay here again.

We first stayed in the Corona in Nov 2003 and were there again in March 2005. We were pleased to find that the second visit was as satisfactory as the first. Victoria is a very convenient location for those on a budget being close to central London, the Tate and all the attractions of the South Bank. If you are flying in to Gatwick or Luton it is within easy walking distance of the train & coach stations which have direct connections to these airports. The rooms are small but in good condition and clean. It is quiet, there is a lift,... more

I really enjoyed staying at Corona; Our room was cozy, clean and had enough room for three persons. I found staff very helpful and friendly. The breakfast room and hotel lounge were rather small, yet that caused no problem what so ever. Breakfast was good and with that you can survive whole morning. Location is great, both Pimlico and Victoria tubes are close, Apollo Victoria Theatre(as Tate Britain and Buckingham Palace and many others) is within walking distance, neighbourhood seems safe and is packed with hotels and some pubs. Will go... more
