Georgian and Bower House Hotel - London

I liked this hotel and the staff was friendly but I did have some trouble finding the hotel the first day. It was on the opposite side of the street I expected it to be on. There also isn't an elevator but the doorman took my luggage up to my room. My room was still being cleaned when I arrived (around noon) but they were happy to keep my luggage and […] place it in my room when it was ready while I went out and explored! The room was clean and adequate for a single person, most hotel rooms in London are smaller than American hotel rooms so expect tiny rooms. It was enough room to keep my luggage and myself. Wifi was easily accessible in room! Overall I liked the hotel and would stay here again. It is a bit of a walk from Victoria tube station. Read more

The hotel was good. We thought we had booked a room with a private bathroom (not very clear in hotels.com website - not sure if this an issue originated from the hotel or hotels.com website). So, unpleasant surprise when you check-in...also, we got room #24 which was in the last floor (steep stairs to the top level of a Georgian style house)...a bit […] inconvenient. Apart from that, the room as nice and cozy, clean and staff was helpfull and nice. I would stay there again provided the room has a private bath and shower. Read more

This hotel was a fantastic place to stay to enjoy many of the central activities of London. Victoria Station is a quick walk away and from there you can easily get to many other parts of the city. Further, it is a 20 minute walk to Westminster Abbey and River Thames. The staff of the hotel were very accommodating and are available 24 hours for any issue […] you may have. The continental breakfast each morning was a definite plus and the wait staff was very welcoming and accommodating. Read more

The hotel was very clean, and the staff was wonderful, catering to our every need. There are some stairs involved to get to some of the rooms, so plan accordingly. It was fine for myslef, my husband and two young children, but it would have been difficult had our older parents been travelling with us. The hotel is close to Victoria train station which […] is a nice connection to other places in London. A myriad of shops and restaurants are within walking distance. Also, the neighborhood was very quaint and safe. Overall we very much enjoyed the stay! Read more

Well worn .No elevator in a 4 story hotel . Steps were tight and steep. Bathroom was like a closet . Hotel is more of a 2 at most a 3 star class . Not what we expected.

Genuine Expedia guest review

First of all the hotel doesn't have a lift so even being on the second floor we found it an inconvenience to travel up and down with our bags. The staff were not unpleasant but not friendly either. Its also easy to miss since there is just a small plaque of the name on the column by the entrance.

We only had one night in London but we could have stayed longer! The hotel was perfect for us. The bed was so comfortable and the room spotless. Nice amenities..tea pot with a selection of teas was a nice touch!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was a great location. Did not like bookins on 4th floor - too many steps (81!). service was great. Food pretty good.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

However, it was a shame that I had to complain due to the noise of people using the shower in other rooms. It sounded like it was raining in our bathroom. Other than that perfect!

Very nice cosy good size room - clean and safe. Good location

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel was in a great location within a five minute walk of Victoria and Pimlico tube stations, and the neighborhood was very safe and had many services within an easy walk. The hotel staff were courteous and helpful, and the rooms clean and comfortable. As we were there in a British "heat wave" (90 degrees F), our 3rd floor room got a little stuffy […] as there was no air conditioning in our room. The street outside was a little noisy at night with the windows open for ventilation. The hotel breakfast was of good quality, with lots of options for all in the family. Read more

They take great pictures, but the rooms are nothing like the pictures, nor are the rundown hallways. I got a single and I'm a 6'3 guy, my head was touching the wall and my feet were touching the other wall. the shower you can't move in it's so small. No air-conditioning and the TV has about 5 stations, no premium. It is a clean place and if the bed […] was larger I would classify it as comfortable. If you're a backpacker this is a great place, if you're here on business, not so much, closet too small to fit pressed shirts. Read more

The staff is exceptionally kind and attentive. I loved the breakfast room. It is quaint but the food is terrific and the place is humming. It is like having breakfast at a freind's house. I arrived very late at Victoria station and regret not having taken a cab to get to the hotel. During the day the neighborhood is terrific and cute...but one should […] avoid walking around as a singel female late at night. Read more

very clean , staff very friendly and polite. The one thing was no lift and we where on the fifth floor.

Genuine Expedia guest review

yuck on every level, we got 2 musty basement rooms, no AC, no dressers or anyplace to put anything, paid for 2 twins, one person had to sleep on cot, sink didn't drain, no AC or phone in room, all around nothing like expected. it is NOT a traditional english B&B. when we complained we were told the rooms had been renovated - if so, they put in metallic […] wall paper - towels were grody and like sandpaper - lost faith in using hotels.com on this one!

The room was a little small, but the location was excellent! A 5 minute walk from Victoria station and an ample amount of delicious restaurants in the surrounding area. We ate at a new place every night and were never disappointed. There is someone at the front desk 24 hours a day and they are very helpful and willing to accomodate your requests. We […] stayed there for 5 nights and eventually everyone knew us and were very friendly! Like I said, the room was small, but the location and staff more than made up for it! Read more

I spent three days there an overall experience was fine. I had a single room without a bathroom which was probably the most inconvenient part. The bathroom was three floors above my room. My room did have a sink which made it a little easier. The room was reasonably comfortable and although it faced a fairly busy street it was still pretty quiet. The […] breakfast each morning was pretty basic but the service was good. Based on the cost of the room and the location it was a good value. Read more

If you are looking for a cheap hotel close to the center of London, than this is your place. If you are looking for luxury, not your place. If you are in London to see the sights, than it is great.

Great hotel! So close to the Victoria station and in a nice, quiet area. The staff was very accomidating and kind. I would absolutely stay there again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room was typical for central London hotels. Small rooms, but sufficient. Bathroom was very, very small, but overall very clean. The hotel was fairly convenient to the theatre and tube stations, less than a half mile. The staff was very professional and pleasant at all times. Breakfast was more than substantial and service was great. We had an […] incident were my husband left his wedding ring at the hotel and realized this after we were already en route to the airport. Upon my quick return, they had the ring waiting and quickly hailed me a taxi to catch my flight. I appreciated the help and courtesy I received. Overall, the accommodations could use some upkeep and rehab, but the service was found to be impeccable!!! Read more

A nice little place. The staff was very nice and helpful with local information. The room was small as expected, but very clean. Private bathroom facilities. Easy access to the underground rail and coach (bus) terminal. Nice neighborhood, very safe. Close to Buckingham Palace, but far enough away to not pay a fortune to stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

10 minute easy walk from Victoria Station; safe, moderately upscale neighborhood with beautiful building architecture. Small lobby room by front desk - not a comfortable spot to "hang out" though since you felt desk staff were right there listening to you. So, basically just a hotel to stay in room. Triple room (3 beds) was on top floor -- 65 steep, […] narrow steps, no elevator. Room was good size. Nice beds with fluffy duvets, but too hot at night. Window not insulated and could hear outside noises. TV didn't work. Bathroom was newly renovated but SUPER TINY. If you are very large this would not be comfortable for you. Everyone needs to dry off and dress in room because of bathroom size. No where to hang but one towels and no bathroom space to put toiletries. Shower was clean, newly refurbished, but water pressure was non-existent. But, bathroom was in the room which was a plus. Breakfast was good - typical English breakfast. Overall, pleasant bed and breakfast. Taxi to King's Cross was 25 euro. Travel from Heathrow takes about an hour on Heathrow Express and tube and costs about 25 euro per person. Can walk to the Thames through quaint neighborhood streets and feel safe, but it is quite a hike. Read more

Not really a hotel, Georgian and Bower House is really a B&B set in several rowhouses in a nice neighborhood, located very conveniently close to Victoria Coach Station (2 blocks) and Victoria Station (3 blocks). We had a booking with the included continental breakfast, which was very good, and we were given the option to upgrade to a full hot breakfast […] for an additional 2.5 pounds. The room was nothing fancy, but was clean (save for the chandelier, which needed dusting badly). The bathrooms are ridiculously small, but functional. There is no lift, but the staff was very accomodating, both storing our luggage due to an early arrival and then moving it to our room when we actually checked in. The beds were comfortable, towels were changed daily, even though some were a little threadbare. Overall the Georgian and Bower House was comfortable (except for the bathrooms), conveniently located, the staff was excellent, and I would recommend it. Read more

We stayed here in the family room in the basement area. The room was a great size, clean, and the beds were comfortable. Its located 10 mins from Victoria Station which was very convenient for getting around on the Tube and on to the National Underground. This Hotel was a great deal and I would go back there for my next visit to London.

When I checked in I was surprised that my room does not have a private toilet . I had to use a shared one down the hallway. I don't recall this was mentioned when I booked it online at hotels.com.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Convenient location, a few blocks from Victoria station. Can catch many buses here plus the tube. Short walk to Westiminster and Buckingham Palace. May be a bit confusing finding the hotel at first because the street is Elizabeth St. then Eccleston Sq. and then turns into St. George's Dr. but there is also a sign on the street explaining this if you […] pay attention. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was quite nice and big for European standards. The room looked recently renovated and the hotel was clean. I was there in the winter and the heat worked very well. When booking, make sure to request a room with a toilet inside, otherwise you can get a room that has a toilet out in the hall (for cheaper price). Overall very great stay, I would recommend it.

loved it, perfect location, great helpful staff. It was perfect. Might need earplugs if your a light sleeper because the walls are thin. But it was well maintained, and even had internet, will definitely recommend to others.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is slightly far away from Victoria station, not as close as what I expected. The location is quiet. The impression of the overall hotel is old because the lobby has not renovated. But the room do look OK. The bathroom is separated from the toilet and both rooms are very small, The sinks are small and you have to lean forward to reach it. The […] shower stall is small which a big person might find it difficult to stretch their arms to get dressed. Read more

I booked this hotel at the last minute, just hoping I could find something clean for a 1-night stopover in London. This hotel absolutely fit the bill. The employees were extremely friendly and helpful and the hotel is located just a few blocks from Victoria Station, which features coach service to locations all over England. I was extremely pleased, […] though this was likely due to the fact that I'm used to tiny hotel rooms in big cities-- these rooms are very tight, but they are clean and have all the necessities, so as long as you don't go in expecting to be able to spread out, you should be fine. As an extraordinarily paranoid human being, I was a bit nervous about leaving my window open at night because I was on the ground floor, but I think for most this would not seem an overwhelmingly severe risk as the window was fairly high off the ground. One note-- breakfast is NOT included if you book through a third-party site, though some reviewers here mention free breakfast. Read more

We had spent all summer in great hotels, b and b's and really expected the last 2 days of layover in london area to be the great finale. It was the great fiasco, this place was as dumpy, like a haunted house, attic was our room for 2 nights, breakfast was stale and dis-tasteful. Say no more, it was a complete horror, we managed to get away and walk […] out to fresh air and close to some shops. Read more

I was at the Georgian and Bower House for 2 nights in September 2011. I had come in to Victoria Station and couldn't believe how close this hotel was. Even so close to the station in the heart of London, the neighborhood is silent, you will be able to get a good night's sleep. I certainly did. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the beds clean […] and comfortable. What more could you ask for? I would definitely go back! Thanks! Read more

Was really more like renting a very tiny apartment than a full service hotel room...but didn't expect more for the price. Very convenient location -- 5 min walk from Victoria Station.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Milk white linens and towels, good quality but basic toiletries (only body wash & shampoo, no conditioner). Nice location, next to other hotels like Comfort Inn, few doors down the road from where Winston Churchill lived, room overlooking a main street but pretty quiet and nice feeling of staying in central London. However not far from trash receptors […] (a bit smelly at times) on the street. 10 minutes walk from a major station Victoria in central London, with both train and underground option and bus terminal. Plenty of fast food option including hot & cold sandwiches, bakeries & coffee places, Mark & Spencer store for deli type food, a Mall with store for souvenirs. Hotel staff very nice and friendly. A very basic and kind of old hotel, but they do a good job of giving you professional service at the reception and in housecleaning. Small room and bathroom but absolutely no complain because they were spotless clean. I have stayed at execellent 5 * hotels on business trips and dingy cheap ones when a student, and this is exactly what you want if you are looking for professional service, cleanliness, good location, partially renovated but basic hotel.

This hotel is clean and well located. The only difficult feature is the lack of an elevator.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel rooms are tiny, but the biggest issue is that it has five floors and no lift, so that's a serious issue if you need to get your baggage up to the top level. Of course this is London, city of a 1000 steps. Otherwise It is clean, the wifi works in the lobby but not from the fifth floor, and breakfast buffet is serviceable.

Very close to Victoria Railway Station and bus station,5 min walk.Plenty of supermarkets and restarants within walking distance.Rooms are a little on the small side but ok,you only use them to sleep.Had a good holiday ,would stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Georgian & Bower House Hotel. It was a great location, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the price was right. The room was small, as was the bathroom, but when you're only there to sleep and rest, it was perfect! We would definitely stay there again.

Super small rooms.. Awful bathrooms, showers don't work well... many many reasons for NOT going there!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Georgian House is a small quaint hotel in a quiet neighborhood. The staff were over the top nice and helpful. We asked if they knew of a specific pub and the front desk staff researched it while we were out and left the information about the pub, with specific directions via both tube and bus, for us when we returned. They also brought us breakfast […] to our room in the morning when we had to leave to catch a flight before the breakfast room opened. The most accomodating staff of anywhere we have ever stayed. The friendly and helpful staff make up for any shortcomings the hotel may have (no lift and small rooms). It was also VERY clean. We would definitly stay here next time we visit London. Read more
