Hotel-waking from Victoria Station

[rkr]

Thank you in advance for your response.

 

I am looking for a moderately hotel within walking distance from Victoria Station.  We will have 2 large bags and a carry-on.

Able to do the walking and pulling of the luggage, but not too far from the station to the hotel.

Of course, we could take a taxi from station to hotel, but where's the adventure in that!

Also, we are only staying in London two nights.

Premier Inn Victoria would probably fit your needs.

 https://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hotels/england/greater-london/london/london-victoria.html

 

They are a medium priced hotel chain and many people on this site have stayed there.

 

Directions: (Coaches from LHR will drop you at Victoria coach station which is separate from the train station.

From Victoria coach station: exit left onto Buckingham Palace Road and take the second right onto Belgrave Road. Take the second left onto Gillingham St and the hotel will be on the right-hand side.

 

Less than half a mile - 10 minutes walk.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on Belgrave Rd this past summer.  You can walk from Victoria or take tube 1stop to Pimlico. There is also a bus stop just a block down on Belgrave.  The rooms were small but clean and breakfast was included. Found it very safe and easy to navigate from.

 Hi Tampafish,

 

We were just looking at this hotel, but not sure since it doesn't have air conditioning. Was that a problem in the summer?

All London hotels have a/c. Its British a/c called opening the windows. Usually that is enough for a British summer( maybe not in 2018).

Thank you for your response.  I did think that Victoria Station was the train and the coach station, so great info.

We stayed at the Comfort Inn Buckingham Palace which was a block from Victoria station and the Coach station. It was reasonably priced and had the same standards as North America but smaller rooms. It was a very convenient location for transit, walking, and bus tour availability.

I have also stayed at the Bestwestern Victoria Palace (3 blocks away) which is good too but would choose the Comfort Inn if pricing was similar.

The Grosvenor Hotel is connected to Victoria Station.

There are quite  a number of nice, small hotels in the Vincent Square area which is less that 1/2 mile from Victoria Station

 

we chose Grange Wellington at 71 Vincent Square (which did have a/c)

 

a short walk from here is Westminster where we grabbed a hop on/off and river taxis .... and of course the underground is never too far away

 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

editorial: concern about a/c is valid. As suggested 2018 was brutal heat wize for much of EU.  We cooked walking around London in July. We took a cruise from Greenwich to Norway and in Norway none of our hotels for post cruise (Bergen, Flam, Oslo) stay had a/c while temps were in the 90's.  One room we checked into was well over 100 inside and all the desk could offer was a fan!  Even the Radisson Blu in Oslo had no a/c .... the weather was VERY unusual but it really impacted our trip.
