Sidney London-Victoria Hotel

We stayed at the Sidney in June, before the heat wave struck. Thank goodness, because even when the weather was 65-70ish, we were hot in the room. One small window didn't provide enough air, although the ceiling fan helped. We had the family room for 4 of us, and had 2 double beds, 2 single beds. Enough beds, small room but we didn't plan to spend much time there. The bathroom was miniscule...my 6'2, 250lb. husband actually knocked the toilet seat off when trying to brush his teeth...but we had stayed in hotels in Europe before and so... more

We had the family room, which was a great idea, but the bathroom was as small as a Motorhome's bathroom and was that kind of bathroom. Shower overflowed onto the floor (it wasn't draining), which they corrected on the second day. We were there during the Heat Wave, and the room itself did not have airconditioning. The lobby had air. The room is above the kitchen, so when you sleep with window open, you are awaken by kitchen staff. We cancelled the last night we had there and found a different place to stay.

We stayed in the family suite in early June. We had a double bed and all three kids had their own single beds. While the room was cramped, everyone was able to sleep well as they had their own sleeping space. The bathroom is a tiny pod but the shower has good pressure. There is a large flat screen TV. The room faced an air shaft which was quiet, but from the other reviews I wouldn't suggest staying here during the summer as there isn't enough ventilation. Breakfast room and lobby were nicely redecorated and breakfast was ample. For a... more

I have just stayed in one of the single rooms at the Sydney Hotel. The hotel itself was in a good location, about a ten minute walk from Pimlico station, and the area was fairly quiet. It was very hot when we stayed though, and the hotel rooms were not air conditioned. There was a ceiling fan, but it made so much noise, it was hard to sleep with it on. The bathroom was miniscule. The only way to use it and be able to turn round, was to leave the door open!! The staff were fairly pleasant though!

I wouldn't stay there ever again. There was no ventilation in the room, a tiny bathroom, and the front desk staff were surly and rude. However, the hotel was clean, the internet access was reliable and the price was right. Nonetheless, I don't recommend this hotel

I stayed in the Sidney Hotel for one night only & it is certainly not an experience to be repeated! I shared a small en-suite twin room on the first floor. The room did not have any air conditioning & no member of the hotel staff had thought to open the windows during the day. Whilst the room was quiet, being at the back of the hotel, the condition of it was very poor for a hotel that charges approx £100 per night. There were cracks running across the ceiling and what looked like damp patches in several places. On one of the bedspreads... more

small pokey single room like a shoe box awful

The hotel is well positioned and convenient for central London. It's a fairly short walk from the Plimlico tube stop. Prices are low for the London but the low price in this case does not mean poor facilities, merely small ones. The room itself is not much bigger than the bed. Everything is clean and neatly laid out. The floors creak somewhat but there were no problems with noise as is common in cheap London hotels. The shower cubicle, bathroom and toilet are crammed into a tiny area but usable, although there isn't anywhere in the... more

We were lucky enough to get upgraded to a family room (single and double bed) which would have been tight for three people. Nicely decorated, and clean, with a full English breakfast, and helpful staff, the biggest drawback is the tiny bathroom. There's nowhere to hang anything, and I kept forgetting I needed to step down into the room. Still, I can recommend this hotel. Walking distance to Victoria Station and also on a bus route headed that way.

recently renovated. rooms small, but good for a budget hotel.full eng. breakfast, able to get a drink or coffee at anytime during the day, as reception staff would oblige.v. small bathroom, but big enough to perform all operations incl. shower.I will stay there again. check their website.
