A real gem in Pimlico

The best place I have stayed in Pimlico so far. The staff could not have been more helpful, no sneaky extra charges and a great comfortable room. I will be back

Nicely presented room, small, like comparable London hotels. Hot water in shower a little inconsistent. Small breakfast of three nice but mini croissants taken in room with tea or coffee. Hotel says the modest breakfast is because its complimentary, but i for one have paid online through Expedia for hotel AND breakfast.

I have never encountered such a welcoming staff!!! They are truly committed to making your stay with them as comfortable as possible! I encountered some room challenges, with a tiny room and tepid water for the shower. As long as you are prepared for that, you will be fine!

Expensive hotel for an uncomfortable nights sleep

Small hotel close to Victoria Station. Room was clean and adequate - kettle provided with teabags but no coffee. There was a menu to purchase coffee. The mattress was lumpy and the springs could be heard and felt moving in the mattress. Not sure the last time, a new mattress was purchased for room 36 but I'd recommend it's top of the list. The bathroom was only adequate - plastic, non-recyclable glasses and an electric shower with no pressure.

The property is centrally located and is within walking distance or a bus hop to most central London attractions. This is not a hotel but looks like a row house converted to tourist rooms. The room was too tiny with no headspace. It was dusty and dirty with hair all over (gross). The bathroom was too tiny and impractical to take a shower. And worst, there was no lift and it was hard to climb up and down narrow and steep stairs well. We ended up moving to Park Plaza a couple of blocks away, for the same price. It was a proper hotel!

The smallest room ever, superior single!!!!

The people were really nice but it doesn’t take away the fact the room was like a large cupboard. I went with superior double and when the guy showed me to the room, we both couldn’t fit in there at the same time. I went for a superior single, had I have gone for standard presumably I would have had to sleep stood up. WiFi was rubbish and somehow damaged my laptop that cost me 1hour with IT the day after. Mattress was very old and sloped one way. I hate staying in London.

Cute hotel with professional and kind staff. They always greet you with a smile and encourage questions about the area and nearby attractions. Complimentary pastries and coffee (machine for lattes, etc) available in the morning along with pleasant conversation. Rooms are small but this is typical for London accommodations. Enjoyed our stay!

A warm & friendly home away from home

I had a lovely stay at the Melita hotel. Anna & Cash who both worked in the reception was more than friendly, they were lovely. The atmosphere is warm and familiar the staff is more than helpful. Although the hotel doesn’t serve breakfast they offer free coffee and pastries in the morning to take into your room if wanted. The also offered a discount at a restaurant nearby for breakfast out. This hotel is my only choice next time in London

Personale gentilissimo e posizione ottimale!!

Sono stato 3 notti con la famiglia per vistare la città. Posizione ottimale, 5 minuti a piedi dalla metro di pimlico. Personale gentilissimo e competente. Ci hanno offerto tutte le mattine la colazione anche se non era compresa nel prezzo. Camere piccole ma non mancava niente. Pulizia ottima. Prezzo concorrenziale. Consigliatissimo!!

Topp hotell

Lite og veldig koselig hotell. Var rent, pent og velholdt. Veldig koselige folk i resepsjonen som ga masse gode råd og som var på servicesiden hele tiden. Kan virkelig anbefale hotellet, og kommer helt klart til å komme tilbake selv. Hver morgen ble d servert kaffe og nybakte bakevarer, inkludert i prisen 😊 God beliggenhet, kun 7-8 min å gå til Victoria Station som har direkte tog til Gatwick.

Excellent convenient hotel

The Melina was terror. Very welcoming and helpful with a comfy bed, hot shower with heated towel rack, and a specially brewed cup of coffee in the morning. They went beyond the call to make the service perfect. And the perfect place to stay for sights and choirs.

Staff were exceptionally accomodating. Answered all of our questions about the area. Conveniently located, short walk to Pimlico Tube station and reasonable walk to Victoria station. Walking distance to all the major attractions in Westminister. Room was small, as expected in London. The coffee and pastries in the morning were a bonus. Absolutely nothing bad to say about the hotel or staff.

The single room (1 person) was the smallest room I've ever stayed in, in 40 years of traveling. It wasn't terrible if you're not planning on a lot of room tim, which I wasn't. The staff was very responsive to any request I had. Pastries and coffee served in the AM.

I stayed in the single room (Room 24). Got the room on extremely short notice, which I was grateful for. If you're interested in a place that is close to PLAB exam spot near Vincent square, this is a great location. It is a 5-8 minute walk.
