Italian Cultural Institute

What a quaint boutique hotel in a very convenient location, about a seven minute walk from Victoria station. It was easy to get to everything we wanted to see in London. My husband and I stayed in a triple room with our adult daughter. The room was small, but clean and they provided maid service daily. The bathroom was clean with a nice shower and they provided shampoo, body wash and soap. They also provided flat and sparkling water and snacks in the room at no additional charge. The breakfast offered a good variety, including breads, bagels, croissants, meats, and cheeses, yogurt, muffins, and cereal and also had a very nice cappuccino/mocha machine, as well as apple juice and orange juice. We were in London during a heat wave and our room had good AC. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They held our luggage the day we got there until we were able to check in and held it again on our last day after checkout, until we needed to leave for our train. Just be aware there are no elevators and our room was on the third floor. One of the employees helped bring our luggage up to our room. Overall, we had a very nice stay, I thought the hotel was a good value for the price and would highly recommend this if you’re looking to stay in the area.

The hotel staff was very friendly, efficient and helpful. Our bed mattress was one of the BEST we have experienced in quite some time of travel: firm mattress, good pillows. So pleased to have had air conditioning on our July trip - and really good AC, at that. Paddington Station is just a couple of minutes' walk down the street, as are Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury's (groceries). We had no trouble finding excellent cafes and pubs in this neighborhood, and we felt safe, early morning to late evening. Hyde Park and all it offers is just a short walk away as well.

We used to live in area! So location was perfect/ it’s close to all transport options. Great cafes and pubs and park for families. Apartment was great- clean and tidy. Small things like lack of draws/ storage for longer stays, a Place for bathrooms essentials and enough pods for washing clothes/dishes was inconvenient and had it been catered for would make the accommodation faultless. …
