Sidney Hotel London Victoria

The bed was very comfortable, and the TV, heating and air con all worked well. Staff were at the desk 24/7, so my 6.30am checkout was no problem. For a one-night stay, the small single room did what I needed. It was clean apart from a couple of marks on the sheets. There was a big gap under the door, so hallway light and noise came in, but putting a bath towel along the bottom fixed that. Victoria Station was an easy 5-10 minute walk, and the US embassy about 25 minutes on foot.

The location is great, only a ten-minute walk to Victoria, and the simple breakfast was nice enough. Most of the staff were lovely too. But the room was shockingly small, nowhere near worth £80. The plugs stopped working when a fuse blew, and there were huge gaps around the door, so it offered no privacy and you could see through them. I could hear everything going on around the building.

Getting around was easy: I could walk to several places, catch a bus right outside, or reach the Underground after a short walk. Coach and train stations were nearby too. My single room was cozy, comfortable and clean, with a nice bathroom. The AC worked perfectly, and all the listed amenities were there and working. The only downside was painfully slow Wi-Fi. Maybe my room was far from the modem, maybe not, I have no idea. Still, everything else was solid and I enjoyed my stay.

The location put us close to lots of sights, including Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, London Eye, Buckingham palace and Royal horse guards. The staff were welcoming and helpful, and made sure we felt comfortable. Our room was clean, nice and comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. We had a great time at Sidney hotel during our visit to London and would highly recommend it.
