Really great location! We weren’t looking for anything too crazy, just to be close to Victoria station. But this place had lots of charm and everyone was soooo nice.

Tiny, worn-down rooms. Good location and friendly

I got a small, worn-down room under the roof. The bed was hard and the bathroom so worn-out it was impossible to see if it was clean or not. The staff was friendly and helpful and the location was great. I'll probably not stay there again though.

Comfortable beds, nice location

I found my room "street Level" to be rather noisy, so they moved me to the 2nd floor, was much better, Bed was comfortable and overall it was a nice place to stay, great location, very helpful staff...

Screams of a lack of pride in ownership

This property is in dire need of updating. Poor drainage - VERY DIRTY - not to mention the security issue that comes with having to leave your room key with the front desk. That’s right - lock everything up in the unattached safe or take it with you because the property requires that you leave your key with them in case of emergency. Strange and disconcerting. Property is in a neighborhood so dining options are further away. The shower is awkward, tiny and leaky. The cost is inexplicably expensive and feels like thievery considering the condition. There are better options and I HIGHLY recommend them above our experience at the Diplomat. Besides the old dirty carpet, out of date plumbing and lack of convenience the place was layered in dust and lazy maintenance.

The hotel is not perfect for a 3 stars hotel however I would give it 2 stars. The price is quite high with respect to the facilities and I believe it is because of the location only. I check the facilities to make sure the rooms have fridge however When I got my room ( single bed ) I noticed that it doesn’t include a fridge. The elevator also is very tight and old fashion. The price that I paid for a tight single room is not worth it at all.

Great value in SW1!

Very central location. Six minutes walk to Sloane Square tune or red bus into the West End. Tariff very reasonable for Belgravia. Have stayed here several times over the years. A bit quaint (especially the lift) but comfortable and friendly.

My room was on the fourth floor. There was absolutely NO air circulation. To say it was HOT is an understatement. I didn’t get any sleep. I just sweat. It was a sauna. The window barely opened at the top so even when it cooled off a bit outside it didn’t matter. No cool air came into the room.

Very friendly staff, clean in all areas. Single bedroom spacious, ample storage, bed very comfortable. The only gripe was that the sink plug wouldn’t close. Would definitely stay there again.

Good service, but hotel could use a renovation

Staff are very friendly and helpful, and breakfast is good, but hotel is old and could use a renovation. Also no AC which doesn't usually matter but sometimes in summer it can be hot.

Very nice hotel with old world charm in quiet location with extremely friendly and helpful staff. Room was large with many amenities and good wifi. Good and ample breakfast available. Convenient walking to underground station, shops and restaurants. Guidance and recommendations by front desk staff was much appreciated.
