Good hotel, handy location, good service and nice staff. Unusual for a London hotel!! (97251363)

positive comments Good as ever. Clean with friendly staff some of whom I have got to know quite well , this enhances the quality of the stay
negative comments Ongoing problem actually receiving the newspaper that you order . This minor but annoying point defies belief. Even after reporting the non appearance of the paper still nothing happens. Why oh why is this such a problem!!!

positive comments This hotel is in an excellent position for public transort and within walking distance of many tourist attractions. The staff were very helpful offering us a discount breakfast if pre-booked which was good as would not have paid the price quoted on line as would have used local coffee shops instead. Also an alternative method of transport for our party of four to Heathrow was suggested by the concierge which worked out well and was appreciated on very wet miserable day. We will return.

The location of the hotel was excellent for the station and the underground, On my reservation it said City View which we didn't get the view was dreadful so the thick voil curtains were a bonus. The staff were all very helpful and friendly which was nice. The bar was quite busy late in the evening so that made a nice atmosphere and the staff did not make you feel rushed and unwanted. The breakfast was extra we didn't book when reserving the room as £14.50 seemed a little pricey but we were offered a discounted rate at check-in so we paid £10 and it was a nice varied choice. Overall the hotel was better than expected and I will be staying there again. (97725480)

positive comments The hotel was clean and modern, flat screen tv in the bedroom and a nice clean bathroom, tea and coffee making in the room was a bonus.
negative comments The only thing to dislike was the view which was onto a scruffy building site and rear of other buildings.

For the cost of the room I would ahve expected a better room. It was small, had a rail with hangers on the wall as a wardrobe and can only be described as very basic. Certinaly not value for money (99155818)

Overall, a great location outweighed the negatives that I have of this hotel. It's a very impersonal hotel, but then you don't want someone on your heels all the time asking about how things are. (3305466924)

positive comments Location very convenient to Victoria Railway Station
negative comments Bathroom facilities needed a little plumbing work. Hot water not very plentiful.

The one thorn in our side during our stay was the cost of 2 outgoing calls we placed to the States and Scotland. All other stops on our trip charged small hook-up fee for long distant calls. Hesperia charged us 86 british pounds for the 2 calls of short duration. I was told just call direct after not being able to connect to our service provider like most hotels. The hotels markup of these calls, and their response afterward was less than satisfying. I checked out other Hotels close by for my next trip. If you book DON'T USE THE PHONE!!! (3304780595)

negative comments One detail regarding outgoing phone call

Pablo from Santander, Spain;ES (Solo business traveller) 25 August 2006

Que el tener un precio competitivo dentro de su categoría, no significaba estar viejo, sucio o falto de personal, como muy frecuentemente ocurre en Londres. Sin embargo en esta ocasión he de reconocer que el Hesperia tiene equilibrada la categoría, el precio y las prestaciones.Ah¡ y además en la recepción se hablaba un perfecto español. Parece mentira que un idioma tan universal como es el español, los hoteles en Londres lo den tan poca importancia. (3305240795)

positive comments Magnífica relación entre precio y calidad, sobre todo dentro de lo caro que es London. Si les hubiese concido antes hubiese ido mas veces.
negative comments Creo que debería mejorar la publicidad, ofertando los precios tan competitivos que tiene.

Lance from Alexandria, United States;US (Mature couple) 10 August 2006

Directly across the street from Victoria Rail Station and Gatwick Express Service. Excellent Indian Restaurant just down the street. The flip side of being close to the train station is if you are a very light sleeper, you may notice the occasional public address announcement--it didn't bother us but if you listen for it, you can hear it. The trains, by the way are practically silent. (3305103696)

positive comments Excellent location for Gatwick Travelers!
negative comments 80p per minute for local calls seemed a bit steep.

Nigel from Waterlooville, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 05 August 2006

Check in only received a fair rating because the desk clerk appeared distracted and didn't listen to my answers to his questions. Also, despite requesting a non-smoking room, we hadn't been allocated one. We were, however, given one when we queried it. Beyond that, the room was well presented, clean and spacious. The restaurant staff were polite and efficient and the food was excellent for both the evening meal we had on the first night and the breakfast on the second morning. Check out procedure was efficient and polite. Overall an enjoyable stay. This was our second stay in this hotel and reinforced the good impression made previously. (3305109968)

All in all we enjoyed our stay at the Hesperia Hotel.Our room was very clean and comfortable.The bathroom was well equipped with complementary toiletries etc.We had a room on the 6th floor at the back overlooking the roof tops behind the Hotel.It was very quiet and we got a good nights sleep.We would have liked to know that there was a shuttle bus from Heathrow Airport direct to the Hotel at a reasonable charge.This would have saved us a lot of time on the underground.Otherwise we had a great stay at the Hesperia Hotel. (3304679193)

positive comments The Hesperia Hotel was very central in London adjacent to Victoria Station.It was very clean throughout.The Breakfast which we paid extra for,was very good.The Hotel lobby,dining room and lounge had air conditioning.This was very pleasant in light of the 30c + temp.over London on the weekend in question.The overall value was good for such a central London Hotel.The staff were very pleasant and helpfull.We will stay there again.
negative comments I can think of nothing that we disliked.

The room was well equipped, clean and very quiet. The location is excellent, especially if you have to travel to Gatwick. The staff were helpful and friendly. My only complaint was that the room was a little tight and it seems to be a general problem on the 8th and 9th floors where the balconies reduce the room area. Overall a good hotel to choose if you want to stay near Victoria. (3304473568)

Nice clean hotel, very quite for its location. Will stay there again! (3304641275)

positive comments Room was not as small as other London hotel. Also, it was modern modern and appealing than others.
negative comments Not nearly enough electrical outlets. Only one in the room worked with my US adapter. Internet connection did NOT work on 3rd floor, not even with adapter I received at reception desk. Also: Reception desk would not deal with my reservation details, I was told to call a number. English breakfast is TWICE as expensive as it should be, so is Laundry service. 6.50 GBP for a shirt when I can get it for 2 GBP around the corner?

This is a good central London hotel in an excellent position by Victoria Station. The hotel is clean, modern with good facilities. The bedrooms have excellent private facilities in good working order. The staff are professional but friendly. The restaurant staff are very helpful. We have stayed at this hotel twice to compete in the London Marathon and on both occasions have put a special early breakfast on Sunday morning. They give you early access to your bedrooms if they can and let you use the leisure facilities after you have checked out. I would recommend this hotel and will stay here again. (3304104970)

positive comments The hotel is very clean, the bedrooms are kept in good order with excellent private facilities including flat screen televisions, the staff are professional and the breakfast is good.
negative comments The Leisure facilities are poor, they need updating and what they have needs to be in working order.
