Dec 2007, Mr S Markiewicz

We booked what we thought was a 4 star hotel for a special occasion. We found the room given to us mid week is used as a meeting room not like a bedroom at all. The bed was a pull down Z bed which was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in. I requested the staff... more

May 2006, Mrs B.A. Colbridge

Just an overnight stay which we wished could have been longer. We had a deluxe twin room on the fourth floor. The lift was somewhat small and would have been cozy with 6 people in it but it was efficient and did its job. The room was overlooking the main entrance to the... more

Feb 2006, Mrs K Kirkwood

As a last minute booking for work, I stayed here for bed and breakfast for one night in February this year (2006). I was incredibly disappointed with the room I was given. It was tiny and needed decorating. It also only had a small single bed in it. When I returned to the... more

Exhorbitant phone use charges
My sister and her three adult children stayed at this hotel during a four day stay in London. At check out, (I was staying at another hotel for a work related conference) I was there to pick them up to catch our British Air flight home to the U.S. One of my nieces was presented with a $350.00 bill for phone usage. Keep in mind, she was using an international phone card to call home, so the fee was just that- a fee to the hotel for simply providing access to long distance calls, not for usage charges from U.K. phone companies. Contrary to... more
Great Location!
My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 8 nights. We couldn't have asked for a better location! Just two blocks away is Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. As for the room, very big! We got a huge King size bed and an extra twin size bed in the corner. The bathroom was small but adequate. Only minor complaint was that the toilet seat kept slipping off! :) The continental breakfast was included and was perfect for us as we didn't want the huge English breakfast that they offered. For the breakfast they offer two fresh loaves of bread... more
Quiet and comfortable
Stayed here for 7 nights. Many of previous comments from other reviews are on point, both good and bad. This part of town really clears out at night, so this is good if you want a quiet area but bad if you want access to theaters, nightlife, etc. That said, hotel is quite close to the Tube and also, importantly, to several nice parks starting with St. James Park - nice if you like to walk or run, as I do. The room was in better shape than I had feared from some comments I read before departing. It was small but comfortable and in... more
Overall Good Value Every Time
Stayed here for the third time as part of a business trip. Agree with some of the comments of previous visitors , it does need a lick of paint here and there but its clean and got loads of character, the candle lit bar lounge with the open fire place give it a cozy feel. The little complimentary 'snacks' in the bar are a nice touch. The staff are always curteous and helpful. The background Italian chatter gives it a real continental feel. Rooms not particularly spacious but of a good standard . Breakfast isnt cheap by any means but its... more
'A' for location
World's tiniest elavator...I let my mom take it, I took the stairs. Room small, but adequate. Feel prices are too high for what you get and what hotel offers. Shows some wear and tear. Rooms facing entrance court can be a bit noisy. Just around corner from tube, easy walk to St. James Park or Westiminster Abbey. Post office across the street. Blewcoat School just up the tiny block-historic building that now houses nice gift shop for British Trust. Very safe neighborhood as Scotland Yard is at the end of the block. Bobbies posted 24... more
Not the greatest…a bit disappointed…
My husband and I spent 4 nights at the Jolly St. Ermin’s from November 11 – 15, 2004. I read all of the review before I booked here, so here are my comments: Room - The room we were assigned was small compared to North American standards, but it still had enough room for a desk, a large chair and an ottoman (to put our suitcase on). There was also enough room to put a rack (the ones that fold open to put your suitcase on). The bathroom was clean and nice, although the water pressure was almost non-existent, so the water came out... more
Nice Hotel
My wife and I stayed here 4 nights in November. It is a nice place, very formal, kind of pricey ($24 breakfast). It is in Westminster, very close to St. James' Metro station. Walkable to Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Victoria Metro Station. The staff were friendly to us, but we saw them getting angry at French people. The room was decent, double bed, round table/chairs, TV, trouser press, nice shower. We found it difficult to find dinner around there. The Albert is a great pub nearby.
Awful Place
Stayed at this Hotel Sunday 24th October 2004. Had an awful room, toilet seat kept falling off!! The room had hardly any natural light. TV didn't work properly, ripped carpet outside our room covered up with masking tape. Breakfast poor had to ask 3 times for a cup of tea!! Would never go here again EVER!!!! The only good thing about this hotel is you can park outside for a small charge.
Perfect stay
This hotel is one of my favorites anywhere. It is a beautiful charming old building tucked away in a quiet part of Westminster. After a long day and late night out you can walk through town and arrive in a peaceful oasis right in the middle of it all. For people who live in rural areas it may be more noisy than I describe but for those of us who are city dwellers it is perfectly tranquil. The lobby is lovely, there are great lobby balconies for late night drinking and talking after taking in the town, the bar is nice, there are pubs,... more
Great Hotel!!
Just came back from our first trip to London and stayed at the Jolly Hotel St Ermins. I would definitely stay here again. The staff was very courteous and polite, also very helpful with advice and directions. As our flight arrival was early, we showed up at the hotel at 11:30. Even though check in was around 3:00, the desk clerk let us go ahead and take our room early, plus provided a free upgrade. Both the room and the bathroom were nice sized and very clean. The little chocolates each night were a nice touch too. Location is within... more
