Victor Hotel London Victoria, London

Good location of hotel, close to Victoria Rail and Coach Stations. However, security at the Victor Hotel is non-existent. I was given room number 3 in the basement. The window was open and had metal bars on the outside. Imagine my horror when I heard a man's voice close by, followed by his face appearing at the open window, his arms through the bars pulling back the curtains. I closed the window and tried to lock it, but to no avail. The lock was broken. I immediately called the front desk and got no reply. Then I ran up the stairs to reception and explained the situation. The desk clerk was quite nonchalant and said he could not change my room as the hotel was full. I asked about security, and only when I insisted did he find a screwdriver, go down to the room and fix the lock on the window, which was then shut tight. A horrible and frightening experience for me as a senior female travelling solo!!

Booked a night here since it's just a short walk to the Victoria Coach Station. Checking in and out went smoothly. The room is a bit small but fine for a solo traveler. Only small issue in my room was that the floor was extremely squeaky. Besides that, a great place to get a good nights sleep.

Great little room. It was a little hot and the shower had almost no pressure but that's ok. My only complaint was I could hear my neighbor blink. And I had a friend come up briefly so I can drop off my backpack and change shoes before going for a walk to see more sights and they phoned my room and expressed concern that I couldn't have anyone in my room after 8pm.

I read a few reviews before staying here and they were all very positive although many spoke about small rooms / not too much space, so i was expecting a tiny room as I booked single. But I was pleasantly surprised, I stayed in room 18 on the third floor (loads of stairs but good for excercise 💪) and the room was plenty spacious inclduing the bathroom. Plus it had a fab view. It was clean and well maintained. I felt like a hand towel may have been missing but in the interests of the environment I guess one does do. There is a handy Nisa Local shop just round the corner plus a yummy Thai takeaway / restaurant- Pimlico Thai. (I had the Massaman 🍛) The staff are friendly and welcoming and I would absolutely stay here again. Breakfast was pleasant and reasonable if purchased in advance.

The location was the best feature, being within walking distance of two tube stations, a convenience store and local eateries. The breakfast was purchased the first morning only of a 5 night stay-nothing for gluten free, and, not a cooked breakfast, cheese, ham hardboiled egg cucumber tomato all left out as a buffet-yikes! Orange juice was not fresh orange juice but diluted squash. The room we had was in attic, 5 floors no lift but we were able to move to second floor, dining room in basement also with stairs. Not a suitable hotel for those with walking problems. Staff were courteous. Room was clean but small-expected of building design of this age.
