At a first sight a lot of young tourists in the hotel. Big and tasteful breakfast. A family room just as we needed - some space, beds and a bathroom/toilet. A reasonable price.

Buonissimo il rapporto qualità/prezzo, siamo a Londra! In centro a due passi da Vistoria station, dove si trova la tube, i collegamenti per gli aeroporti e il treno, il quartiere tranquillo per rientrare anche a tarda notte. Buona pulizia della stanza l'unica nota negativa il bagno piccolissimo con lavandino minuscolo. Per un soggiorno di un paio di notti è l'ideale.

I liked the hotel very much. Really lovely old house. Very good location - Victoria station just 5 minutes walk, Tesco shop over the corner. English breakfast was wonderful, kids liked cereals more, and staff was very friendly. Room was clean and big enough, towels were changed every day. TV and hairdrier in room. We stayed for 6 nights and were in room for 4. Toilet and shower were in room. Card accepted. Maps and travelguid books are available. I have been telling everyone to visit this hotel in London. I will next time. No pretensions for Stanley House Hotel at all.

The single room with bathroom I had booked had some deficiency so I was given another room on the top floor with twin beds and bathroom in the corridor + price reduced with 10 pounds per night. The room was clean enough but very simple, the bed lamps did not work, and the room could not be locked from the inside. The employee on duty apologized. The breakfast was OK. You get what you pay for but I would not recommend this hotel to friends

Stayed here for one night in a family room. Can't fault the place, room comfortable and clean with adequate en-suite. Full breakfast is a bonus.

We chose the Stanley House due to its location near Victoria Station. However, it was a disaster. Our room was closest to the front desk and front door. There was hair between the sheets on my bed. The bathroom was so small it was practically useless. The carpet was dirtier than any carpet I've ever seen in my life. The bedding was very old. People were arguing and talking outside of our room until 1 a.m. At 1:15 a.m., a woman used a key to open our door, noticed we were in there, and backed out. The man at the front desk said, "Give me that key!" In the morning, we explained our dissatisfaction with the hotel. To describe this hotel, I would use the word "skanky." We were not charged for the night's stay, thankfully. The breakfast provided was nice. I'm sorry it didn't work out, since the location is so great.

Ho avuto la fortuna, pur essendo da solo , di avere una camera con 4 letti, per cui lo spazio era abbondante. La stanza era pulita anche se la struttura in generale (sanitari , mobili ecc) è piuttosto scadente. Molto pratico logisticamente

The hotel is well located near Victoria Station, the area is nice. You get what you pay for. Small bathrooms but it works. The reception is closed at night so you cannot have a late arrival (we had to find another hotel the first night)

Staff really rude, room really dirty and hot water not working properly. Did not accept debit cards by natwest which we found a bit weird as it is a huge british bank. Staff kind of rude when we arrived at 2 am, which is the last thing we wanna meet that time. Room was dirty, we found hair in the bed and on the floor. Bathroom extremely dirty, has not been propperly cleaned in a long long time. It took 5-10 mins before the water got hot, and when we complained we were told that "of course we have hot water! It's a hotel!" and then we got reminded that we had to check out in 15 mins. Good location close to Victoria, but defenetly not worth the £60 we paid for en-suite double bedroom, even in London!

Price / quality really good. Perfect location to get on the Tube, welcoming people, full English breakfast ok (don't be too keen on room decoration though), served very quickly. I'd recommend the hotel and I'd go there again. Good value.

When we arrived, they gave us a room for 3 which was very small, old and a bit dirty (no matter how the chambermaid tried to clean it). In the afternoon, my 3 yo son wanted to take a shower, we found out that the shower didn't have the hot water, we called the reception, who came up to show us how to use it, but then, there was still no hot water, after 3 temptations of the hotel staff (nice staff, helpful) to provide us with hot water in the shower, they gave us another room, which with much surprise, was cleaner, spacious (room & bathroom), new, quiet, not smelly, on the first floor. No 10% discount for cash payment, since we booked it from venere and not from their own website. English breakfast, loved it, nice chat with the staff. We were in London for Chess Musical, certainly be back in this hotel for our next London visit. Thank you ^^

Stanley House is a very nice place to stay if you're on a holiday in London or planning a short stay in the city. Perfect location, a quiet place to rest after a long day of traveling in the city, friendly staff, clean rooms albeit really small. The latter won't be a problem unless of course you're planning to spend the whole day in the hotel! The food is also fine. It's not luxurious but you'll have to cough up a lot more for a spacious room with modern furniture in London. I dare say it's probably the best value for money for this type of hotel you can get in this big megapolis! Really satisfied! Thanks for the experience!

I traveled as a single guy who needed a cheap room for the night. This hotel provided exactly that. The room was small but provided enough space for one person and was clean except for the shower which had a lot of mold on the wall. The location was nice; a 5 min walk to Victoria station and there were numerous restaurants in the area with normal prices (away from the major tourist areas.) The hotel staff were very nice and competent. I was in town for the marathon and needed to keep my luggage someplace while I ran. They hotel didn't have an extra room for storage but the staff allowed me to keep my bag in the lobby with no problems and to use the community bathroom to clean up and change once I returned from the run. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a cheap place without the frills.

4 days on private holiday - OK hotel for the price, nice sourroundings - ok breakfast. Ok B&B hotel to stay for some nights - even a week or two - as long as you dont expect or need the luxury of a more ordinary or higher rated hotel. What you save on the hotelprice you can spend in town..

For the price one wouldn't expect much. The worst were the partying & screaming people all night in the hallways & no one came out to quiet them. They lied about taking credit cards, two different stories about the card machine. Each person had a different version of what cards don't work with their machine. Their sentnce where to pick up cash seemed extremely well versed.

Very good location for a 3 days trip to London... Quite cheap compared with other hotels offering quite the same facilities...I would definitely return to this hotel. NB: as seen in other comments from clients, it's possible to have 10% off the total price if you pay cash !! (good to know, isn't it ?)

There was 2 types of problem during my trip : 1. the noise during the night, my room was near of the reception and some nights were difficult.. 2.a problem of flush and no hot water constrained us not to use bathroom during two days... In spite of these problems, the adress is a good one.

Staff of the hotel were always very friendly, even if they had customers, who were not so friendly towards them. Shower of our room worked well and was fairly OK (we expected we will have problems with it, because of other's comments in this site). Size of the room was sufficient. The room wasn't very clean, either other premises were not as well. Breakfast room was quite small and breakfast itself wasn't so splendid, but staff was again quite friendly, which is most important. No luxury at all, but it was one of the cheapest place we found, so we didn't expect more. Location was excellent, you don't necessary need to use public transportation to go to the heart of London, if you have got used to walk a lot.

You get what you pay for. By London standards the hotel was very reasonable. Rooms were basic but clean and for a one night stay the location so close to Victoria was perfect. Would definitely stay here again if overnighting in London

Stanley House is really situated 300 m from Victorai Station . You may use bus nr 24 for 1 station. Be attentive to electricity system-you must hire( from the reception desk) an adaptor. You will have to pay a warranty of 5 Pounds.

Hotel and room was like we expected it. very quiet, room service/ cleaning very good. breakfast not really acceptable, but i think average for london and this categorie. hotel surroundings and location excellent for short stay (pubs, restaurants and supermarket) and public transport brilliant. If your expectations are realistic (price and standard) its a good place to stay for a few days-trip to london.

The Hotel is a bit dirty (especially the carpets) and the stairs are very high, but the staff is very friendly and helpful. They serve delicious English Breakfast with bean, ham, egg, toast and coffee or tea (and additionally butter and marmalade). The blankets on the beds were old and burnt out, but the bed-linen were crunchily clean. Perfect view from many rooms to the London Eye.

There were no towels and the rubbish tin had not been emptied from the previous occupier. The bathroom door would not close. As a mature couple we were pleased to be offered a ground floor room as there is no lift. It is a budget hotel but we found it suitable to our needs and a very good breakfast was provided

El hotel era más o menos como esperabamos. Comparando precios con otros, estaba bien. Lo único que no me cuadró fue que alquilamos una habitación triple (con 3 camas según las fotos) y nos encontramos con dos camas, una de matrimonio amplia y otra normal. También ponia que se podría dejar el equipaje, pero el hotel no tiene ningún espacio para ello. El baño es minúsculo, pero aseado. El hotel tranquilo, y el desayuno... pues típico inglés, pero el servicio fue correcto.

Premier séjour à Londres, situation de l'hôtel idéal à proximité du métro et du bus (ligne 25). Rapport qualité/prix intéressant pour une ville comme Londres. L'hôtel s'apparente plus à une pension qu'à un 2 *: chambre petite, salle d'eau petite, bâtiment vieillot mais entretenu. Bon accueil, petit-déjeuner correct dans une salle familiale située au sous-sol. Idéal pour le tourisme, toutefois voyageur exigeant s'abstenir, bonne adresse pour les autres.

I've read all the feedback, and I was pleasantly surprised. We stayed for 3 nights and for 60 pounds a night just the locations makes up for it. Our room was clean. We had a on suit bathroom that was clean as well. We stayed in number 11 (3rd floor). The breakfast that was included was in the acceptable range. I would recommend this place if you are just looking for a place to sleep, looking for a place with easy access to all the sites Yes they need some decorating advise as nothing matched in the room - Hehehe but that is not a reason to down grade this budget Hotel - you should expect things like that.

The room corresponded to what we expected according to previous comments (£85/day- quadruple room- breakfast included)and anyway wa came back late at night. The only unpleasant surprise was that the water of the shower was extremely hot (whereas we heard that some rooms had only cold water). 5 min walk from Victoria, 20 min from Westminster or Bukingham. Losts of restaurants and pubs arround.

Great location. Room was basically clean. Picture and website info had indicated that they had a triple room with 3 twin beds, but we arrive to find that our triple was a double and a twin. They said that they had no triples with three beds. When I said that the website had indicated that they did, I was told that I was completely mistaken. The staff did offer to give us a separate single room, however. The bathroom was small but overall the room was about what you would expect for the price in London.

The staff was overall pleasant and helpful, especially the breakfast staff/room attendants. The biggest problem with this hotel was that there was no elevator and it was very rundown, although clean. We were two women who ended up having to drag suitcases up the 6 flights of stairs to the room. The area is convenient to many good areas for tourists. I would probably choose this area again but would choose a different hotel even if I had to pay more.

Well previous comments of 'good location' should have warned us. It's the only reason to stay in this grubby outdated and basic hotel. We booked a double with en-suite, and got an average room made smaller by the plasterboarded off bathroom. Yes it had a full shower and toilet..but a barbie sink! Seriously, washing your hands flooded the floor!! and what's the point of a shaver point with no mirror. Please!! And the extremely noisy extractor fan didnt go off for 50mins!! The owner/porter was no help and none of the staff were very helpful. My advice, if late at night, pee with the door open and use the main bedroom light. The tv came out of the ark (with no remote..it had 3 channels that worked sparodically)The window opened-but you couldnt keep it open. Bedlinen was clean but 1 pillow each... breakfast was the only partially redeeming factor - just no alternative foods or drinks to cater for allergies (in my case orange juice)and beware - the cut off IS 9am. Everything about the hotel was old and although our room had been painted (we could still smell the varnish and the walls/doors were sticky)-it was dated and basic. The price was cheap I guess for London but so was the hotel. For £10 more I'd have stayed across the road..or anywhere else. Good location.
