We would definitely stay again. Room was very well equipped & spacious.
Only two things letting it down. Black mould in the shower (wasn’t loads but noticeable straight away) needs keeping on to off. Then I dropped my ring and went under the bed… the build up of dust was crazy - obviously the bed had not been moved in a very long time. But it’s not something I go looking for nor would I expect a housekeeper to bust their back moving the bed in each room - especially if they are cleaning on...

Small, clean and comfortable. The couple of employees I met were friendly and helpful. The hotel we're doing works on 5 floor, but not seemingly at the weekend. Area is quiet, again it was the weekend so can't connect on weekdays. Very short walk to London eye and houses of parliament. Great location to stay

On arrival we were greeted by staff & offered fruit, water, sweets. We were made to feel most welcome. Room was a bit small but we only used it to sleep & shower as we were out sight seeing everyday. Room was cleaned & restocked everyday and although the bed was a little bit to hard for my wife’s liking they offered to change rooms but we declined and a extra quilt on top of mattress was enough. We didn’t use the breakfast facilities so cannot comment on them. The hotel is perfectly situated...

The Belgrave Hotel never lets us down. We have stayed here a few times over the past few years and it is always a great experience. The staff are all lovely and nothing is too much trouble for them, the rooms are spotlessly clean with everything you need for a break away and breakfast is spot on. I always highly recommend this hotel to family and friends

We discovered once into our room that the bed was not a king size bed as booked so went downstairs to ask why. The initial response was that the bed was as booked but measurements prices otherwise. I spoke to Quentin the manager on duty and he was amazing. He apologised for the mistake and moves us to another room, bigger room, and provided a drink voucher each and breakfast. This was over and above what I was expecting as just the change in room would have been enough… Quentin went over and...

We were greeted at reception by Alexander who was so friendly, polite and helpful.Such a credit to the hotel .
The room and bathroom were very clean and the beds comfy.
The hotel is ideally placed for theatres and lots of places to eat.
The Italian cafe over the road in Russell square garden is wonderful.
This was my second visit to the hotel and I will definitely return.

Really lovely staff made the big difference, very happy to help you, efficient booking in and booking out. Love the restaurant in the evening overlooking the London skyline, food was excellent. Breakfast was a bit meh, and would recommend going to somewhere more tasty nearby. The room was just what you need, small but not cramped, perfect for just sleeping, the only addition I would suggest would be a bottle of water as it’s so warm.. Cannot say enough about the staff they were really nice.

Unusual, but for the money incredibly relieved it!! Why stay in a tired stained slightly sickening firetrap when for the money you can get a swish Westminster address which while a little disconcerting at first was clean, modern and utterly unashamed good value. If you have been on a cruise (cheap),a Japanese pod hotel or in prison it may help but you'll get into the vibe soon enough. As in get out all day and don't expect to stare wistfully out of the window, or indeed breath any of the soot...

Check in was 2.00pm, however, we arrived at 11.30am to drop our bags off and we're invited to check in to our room, which was amazing. The room was pristinely clean and modern and everything looked brand new. Service was excellent, staff extremely helpful and polite. Would definitely return. Was in an exceptional location for everything.
