“The size of the room, while quite small, was perfect for me as a solo traveler. All I really needed was somewhere to rest for the night before continuing my adventures in London, and it was the perfect hotel for that.”

Its location in terms of proximity to the Victoria station, proximity to the Bus 24 route, thus enabling one to reach important places within the city The hotel rates were reasonable in terms of costs. The hotel staff at the reception was basically helpful in terms of answering my questions When I contacted the hotel (online) before my departure to London to ask some critical questions, I did not get any response. The room was not satisfactorily cleaned up, for example, the very first encounter with the toilet was not palatable. The toilet flashing facility not so efficient. The location of the room on the side of the main street made it a relatively noisy environment

Great location in Victoria. Local shops are very convenient. The road is rather noisy and the rooms aren't very well double glazed. If you get a room at the back of the hotel you'll be ok, but otherwise it's not good if you're a light sleeper.

They put me in a room in the basement, internet was not working, the breakfast was poor, and there was a lot of noise during the night.

Conveniently located at a reasonable price with the facilities required. Found the very small old fashioned TV not in keeping and would have thought a 24" flat screen would be much more in keeping which would cost only a one night's fee

Location Being locked out in the freezing cold at 3am because the receptionist was having a sleep - despite the hotel advertising a 24 hour reception! Also, when we went to collect out bag from the luggage room another receptionist who we'd never seen before just gave us the key to a room full of bags - we could've been anyone and walked away with any bag! Not impressed for £120 a night.

All I really needed was somewhere to rest for the night before continuing my adventures in London, and it was the perfect hotel for that. The price was a little too high...I would expect for the price that I was paying to have breakfast included, and was a little disappointed to find out that it wasn't.

The hotel is in a good location. My single room was small but comfortable. The bed was fine and the shower worked very well. The room was priced very competitively for the location and quality. Breakfast was good.

The hotel was quite in a good position, just round the corner from Pimlico tube station and less then 10 minutes to Victoria Station. The room was small but had everything I needed. They clean thoroughly and change the towels every day. The bed vas very confortable and the place was really quiet. I much adpreciated the Tea/coffe facilities in the room as breakfast is not included in the price. Most of all wifi was free also in the rooms.

I really cannot think of anything that I really liked. The continental beakfast was passable. The room was one of the smallest that I have ever seen. There was no cold water in the bathhroom, but the staff did hand out jugs of cold water. The air conditioning system did not function at all, but a portable cooler helped a little, and fortunately the weather was cool. There was not public lounge, so once one was in the hotel, all one could do was lie on the bed.

The hotel is in a typical London terrace and a bit out of the way of the London Hullabaloo, though close to the Metro (one stop from Victoria) and with bus at the door. We had been hoping to stay elsewhere but a change of dates caused us to look farther afield from Central London than we have done in the past. A number of good restaraunts are near the hotel. Our room was small but fairly typical of London establishments. Continental breakfast for 5 ponnds 95 was good value. Internet was free. Staff were helpful. If you're in London, and you don't want to stay in an inner city hotel, the Corona is good. It has been tastefully painted and recarpeted fairly recently. The size of the room made it difficult to manage our luggage at the end of a 7 weeks trip and gathering of souvies. For some peculiar reason, the cold water ran warm most of the time. This was compensated for by the hotel providing jugs of chilled drinking water on request.

Good staff, pretty clean, good location and good value for money basic breakfast I have stayed at this hotel recently and left a review. Last time I booked a double room which was ok. This time I booked (for only a few pounds less) a single. If you value having room to breathe do not book a single - pay a little more and get a double. This was the smallest room I have ever stayed in......so small the trouser press dominated the room! Anyone over 5' 6" tall would have stuggled with the size of the bed. The very high ceiling combined with the tiny floor space made it feel like being in a tube!

A nice clean & comfortable hotel. Everything worked in the room. Staff helpful and both check-in and check-out were quick and efficiently dealt with. Breakfast was basic but still excellent value by London standards for the £5.95 I was charged.Lots of tea, coffee and milk in the room - even biscuits! A good value London hotel in an excellent location. Few criticisms - but improvements could be made to the provision of towels. Bath towels were a bit small and although perfectly clean did look a little old and passed their best. Would have liked a tv with more channels and access to radio. Finally rather a lot of noise from the floor above which was a bit distracting - maybe the hotel needs more soundproofing.

There was a generous continental buffet breakfast. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The showere required attention. The water kept going cold. Once I had worked out that the control kept slipping rather than there being no hot water, I was nearly done! Fix this, and it would be excellent value for money.

The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. The water pressure in the shower was also excellent. You have to go down stairs to the reception to get the log in code for the internet and this code changes every day - they will not give it to you if you phone down to them and this is a bit inconvenient.
