Grange Rochester Victoria - Westminster

A short guide to Victoria - Westminster

Home to some of London's most famous institutions —the Houses of Parliament (Big Ben), Westminster Abbey, and Tate Britain— Westminster is busy by day and quiet by night. Buckingham Palace is located across lovely St. James's Park; Whitehall leads to Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery, passing 10 Downing Street and the Queen's mounted troops at Horse Guards on the way. The streets around Victoria Station offer hotels to suit all budgets.

Recommended Trip type: All Others "Met my expectations"

Reviewed by M of Ireland on Aug 20, 2009

This hotel lived up to my expectations. I had read reviews on trip advisor and thought that the hotel was very good value for money. An added bonus was getting upgraded on arrival to a room overlooking the garden with a nice balcony. This made for a quiet nights sleep. Friendly staff, although I did receive a call from reception at 11.03 reminding me check out was at 11am - I thought this was a little weird. Overall pleased. 7 mins to nearest tube though so wouldn't return.

Recommended Trip type: All Others "could not sleep"

Reviewed by P of Manchester on Jul 7, 2009

Although this hotel was really clean and staff welcoming it was difficult to sleep in the room due to excessive heat. It had been a hot weekend and after a whole day sight seeing we returned back to our room tired and ready to relax but the room was absolutely boiling. The windows would only open a little and we could not really get a breeze because we were facing a courtyard surrounded by other buildings and no view. So with no breeze and no air-conditioning it was very uncomfortable and our son could not sleep most of the night and neither could we. We awoke the next day very tired and the room had not cooled down at all. There was a fan but it was small and made no difference. We did have a nice breakfast there.

Only stayed overnight but a very comfortable stay. Our room overlooked the tree- lined square; lovely and peaceful. Only minor point I would make is the hairdryer kept in the dressing table draw by the bed- would be more convenient to have it located in the bathroom.

Reviewed by L of Florida, USA on Apr 7, 2009

This was an excellent place for us to stay, within walking distance of Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, and Victoria station. I would choose this location again - much value for the price! As I read from another reviewer, the bathroom is tiny (yes, you can wash your hands while sitting), however, the bathtub is large, clean, and comfy, and the entire bathroom is tiled in marble. Tiny but gorgeous. This is London, though! If you want a huge room, you'll have to move into a much higher price range. The concierges were very friendly and door help was always eager to catch taxis for those who wanted them. Room service prices looked average (we didn't use it, though). However, breakfast at the hotel is outrageously expensive. Several cafes can be found within one or two blocks (open for breakfast) and many pubs and restaurants are within easy walking distance.

Reviewed by C of Leeds on Dec 29, 2008

The hotel has a 4* rating yet I found the room to be more 3* than 4*. I can understand that the other rooms in the hotel (or the more expensive rooms) might be the 4* they so eagerly advertise, but if the room I get isnt 4* then its feels like I've been misled. They didn't provide clean sheets on the bed each night and my room didn't even have a little refridgerator/minibar! The hotel otherwise was nice - nice and clean, friendly staff, close to westminster abbey. Its just the room was a little small.

Reviewed by Bill of Las Vegas on May 19, 2007

The pictures that you see for the rooms must be taken somewhere else because the shoebox that we had didn't have enough room to set our luggage on the floor between the bed and the wall. When we asked for a bigger room we were told that the one we were in was the standard double and all they had. The staff was not helpful at all and it was almost painful to have to deal with them.Also the elevator only goes part way so you may have to carry your luggage up stairs. And for it being close to Buckingham Palace and Victoria Station i guess if you consider a 20 to 30 minute walk close that would be true.

Hotellet låg i ett lugnt område men, kanske hade vi otur, så föregick det arbeten tidigt på morgnarna och runt omkring kvarteret. Hotellet litet och ganska trångt. Mycket basic standard på vårt rum, G6, och ingen ventilation i badrum alls. Dessutom gick det inte att få kallvatten kvällstid ur kranen vilket portiern förklarade var helt normalt!! Absurt! Man fick låta vattnet rinna i en kvart, tjugo minuter innan kallt vatten kom. Frukosten absurt dyr med tanke på innehållet och absolut inte prisvärt. Bättre då att köpa en macka och kaffe vid Victoria eller på ett fik. De anställda pratade dålig engelska, förmodligen var de från öst.
