Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Staff were friendly and welcoming. However, didn’t return my earrings that were on the sink.
Room was advertised as a deluxe room, it was small, breakfast wasn’t extensive to cater for gluten free. The towels or bed weren’t changed for our second night and the tea and coffee wasn’t replaced.
Clean room, nice location
Room very small. Room LG 1, right next to the kitchen dining area and was so loud it felt like we were sleeping in the kitchen.
Nice location, 10-15 min walk from Victoria Underground Station. Modern decor, spacious triple room. Staff friendly.
Cleanliness could be better in the room, dusty in places. Could do with more hangers for clothes storage. No lift in hotel but wasn’t an issue for us with a backpack.
Pres de la gare Literie confortable Personnel aimable
Chambre un peu petite
Very nice hotel in quiet location yet close to Victoria Stn & within walking distance of many tourist attractions. Staff friendly welcoming & very accommodating, room v quiet, v comfortable bed, v well equipped. Will definitely book again next time in London.
No lift which may be an issue for some people with limited mobility or agility.
Excellent location good room and clean
Can’t be helped but there’s no lift and a lot of stairs
Bardzo udany pobyt! Największym atutem hotelu jest zdecydowanie obsługa – niezwykle miła, pomocna i życzliwa, dzięki czemu od początku czuliśmy się bardzo dobrze zaopiekowani. Hotel jest czysty, schludny i zadbany, a lokalizacja bardzo dobra. Duży plus za bardzo korzystną cenę w stosunku do jakości. Super udogodnieniem było również bezpłatne przechowywanie bagażu zarówno przed zameldowaniem, jak i po wymeldowaniu. Zdecydowanie polecam!
Nie ma takiej rzeczy która by mi się nie podobała.
Location suited us for meeting friends in the same area
Room.was incredibly small
Хорошее расположение, классический интерьер, вежливый персонал, наличие чайника, хороший душ, адекватная цена.
Очень маленький номер на 4 этаже - только для стройных и спортивных. Ночью довольно жарко. Кондиционер работал хорошо, но с ним есть риск простудиться. В целом без разочарований, учитывая цены в Лондоне.
Room was clean and bed was comfortable.
Room was very small.
Lo stile dell’albergo è cortesia personale
La moquette è l’assenza ascensore: la scala stretta e ripida meno male che nn avevo bagaglio ingombrante
the shower was good and the coffee too.
the room was very small 2 * 3 meter and was on the 5th floor with no lift
Very pretty, beautifully decorated, and great location
The room was extremely small.
la proximité avec le centre
la chambre est minuscule et il faut demander pour avoir le ménage de fait, mal isolée on entend tout le monde monter les escaliers et les serviettes sont vieilles et usées , le lavabo reste bouchée
Bra läge! Lugnt område. Fina rum men små.
Bättre badrumsdörr.
The staff was exceptional! They did everything they could to make sure my daughter and my husband had the best experience. My family travelled to London to celebrate my daughter's 20th birthday, and the Portico was the perfect place to stay. They made sure that my husband and daughter were well taken care of and provided excellent customer service. The property is in a perfect location, next to Victoria Station, in a quaint neighborhood with a lovely park and easy walking distance to all they sights. Thank you Portico Hotel! This stay was ideal! Would book again.

Close to Victoria station
Could hear people in other apartments
Quarto confortável e limpo, staff muito afável e atento! Pequeno almoço foi uma grande mais valia.
Localização em relação ao metro um pouco mais longe do que estava à espera.
Close proximity to Victoria Coach Station. Helpfulness of staff.
Five flights of stairs to my room. Minuscule size of room.
The staff were extremely accommodating regarding our requests. Couldn't have asked for more
Room could have been a little bigger, but it was very nice.
Très propre et literie confortable
Beaucoup d’escalier pour descendre prendre le petit déjeuner. En effet si on est au 2 eme étages, il vous faut encore descendre deux de plus car la salle est en sous sol
Location was great
No elevator so if you stay on last floor you have to carry luggage up
Location Courteous staff
Priced on the higher side
Very comfortable and only 10 mins walk from Victoria station. Staff were very friendly. Bed was so comfortable. Great value for money and I would stay again. Room decor was lovely.
Nothing
Brilliant location for what we wanted to do.
Deluxe triple room was small. Obviously a double with a single bed added. Queried room and was told it had a balcony so deluxe…Pity we couldn’t put the mattress there…! About 4 inch clearance to get to one side of bed. Bathroom VERY small, at least it had a sliding door. Just enough room to use the toilet! Shower excellent.
The levitation is great, very nice place.
The air conditioning 😀😀and location
We were on the top floor with no lift, even though we are fit and healthy it was an effort to climb after a long day sightseeing
It was clean & nice staff
Rooms were minuscule. Whilst I accept single rooms are small, my slim 84year old Dad couldn’t open his bedroom door and move around it to get to the bathroom Limited atmosphere in the hotel bar/lobby and breakfast poor
La comodidad de la cama y la atencion del personal
Está alejado y no tiene ascensor, me tocó el último piso, muy incomodo
Ottimo hotel! Vicino alla stazione Victoria sull’omonima metro. Stanza piccola ma pulita, staff cordiale.
Nulla!

Gute Lage, Personal freundlich und alles sauber
Viel Teppich, Räume sehr klein. Aber ok für unseren Aufenthalt.
Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful hotel, clean, able to purchase drinks and snacks easily, good location not too far of a walk from theatres in Victoria which was perfect, room was a good size, comfortable, good bathroom
Our room was very noisy all night. We were in one of the two basements rooms and were work up what felt like every hour with people walking back and forth in the foyer above, this was followed by the garage disposal vans early hours, followed by hoovering in the rooms above and then a fire alarm! (This was all whilst wearing ear buds!)
L’emplacement est top, à 10 mn de la gare Victoria
Chambre minuscule, nous avions une chambre de luxe pour 3 personnes, elle n’avait de luxe que le nom. Nous pouvions à peine nous retourner dans la chambre, nous n’avions pas de place pour nos 2 petites valises. Salle de bain également minuscule. Mais le pire c’est que je me suis retrouvée pleines de boutons, apparemment un insecte ou des punaises de lits. Drap taché, je ne vous parle pas de la saleté sous le lit. Le personnel est sympa.
Location was ideal for my one night stay. The single room was very small but spotlessly clean. The staff were really friendly and polite.
A great central location with a few different underground stations nearby. A super cosy little room with everything one needs for a comfortable stay. Everything is clean and the staff is super kind and helpful. The breakfast is good value for the money.
Il personale è gentilissimo e la struttura pulita, molto comoda la posizione vicina alla stazione Vittoria.
Unica pecca è la mancanza di ascensore…quattro piani a piedi con le valigie sono un po’ pesanti.
Amazing and clean hotel with brilliant decor.
Was in the basement so no natural light
The decor.
The room was very small. No lift. They didn’t make the bed or take out the trash. The TV didn’t work properly so I had to call for help. I was bitten by a bad bug. I woke up with two red spots the size of small coins. It shouldn’t be listed as a hotel. Not a four star hotel for sure.
Great location, price and lovely staff. Very accommodating and a clean room.
The room itself had a smell of damp.
מיטה נוחה מאוד צוות מהמם הכל נקי מקלחת מצויינת יחסית לאירופה ולטווח המחירים רמה גבוהה מאוד !
אין מעלית אבל הצוות עוזר עם המזוודות פשוט אחרי יום ארוך לעלות הרבה קומות זה מעיק . ארוחת בוקר עדיף לוותר שילמנו יום אחד ואין שם כמעט כלום עדיף לאכול בחוץ .
Alles schoon en modern en de prijs was goed!

Staff très aimable
Pas d'ascenseur (et chambre au 4e étage 😞)
Brilliant staff, so helpful
None
Really comfortable bed/matress and good location for Victoria Station about an 8 minute walk.
The decor was a teeny bit tired and lots of stairs.
I liked the style of the room and the comfy bed and the location. Free WiFi was great. The staff were very nice too. It was exceptionally great value for money.
The TV didn’t connect with my phone and didn’t connect to internet. So I couldn’t watch films. Make sure you bring a laptop if you want to watch something. I wish the restaurant had a window. It would have been great to have ant least one non caffeinated option in the room, so bring your herbal teas with you.
Funcionários
The property was a close walk to many things. Besides that unfortunately the room was so small said it was for 3 people but could not walk around in the room , did not refresh towels or toilet paper.
Would not recommend!
It’s in a fantastic location and there is a ton that is easily walkable.
It’s an old building and you can hear all of your neighbors. The carpet in our room was old and the windows didn’t close right. This caused bugs to come into the room.
I absolutely love this hotel, staff are so friendly, perfect location and the smell as soon as you work in - WOW!

les personnels sont sympa
Nous avions réservé, d’après Booking, une chambre Deluxe dans un hôtel 4 étoiles. Or, il s’avère que la chambre est minuscule, surtout pour trois personnes. Nous ne savons même pas où mettre nos valises. De plus, un morceau de métal ressortait de chacun des lits et a blessé ma nièce. C’est totalement inadmissible et dangereux. Nous sommes extrêmement déçus de cette chambre et de la qualité de l’hébergement, qui ne correspond absolument pas à ce qui était annoncé sur Booking. cet Hôtel ne vaut pas 4 étoiles !!!
L'hotel è pulito e curato. Lo staff molto gentile. Ci sono stati problemi con l'utilizzo della carta dopo la prenotazione e hanno comunicato con noi in modo rapido ed efficiente per risolvere il problema. Sulla prenotazione fatta tramite booking era indicata una camera a un piano alto con vista sulla città, ma al nostro arrivo ci hanno dato una stanza al piano terra di buone dimensioni ma buia e con un affaccio su un cavedio; quando sono andata a farlo presente alla reception all'inizio erano sorpresi perché di prassi loro non specificano a quale piano può essere la stanza assegnata (probabilmente è una cosa di Booking) ma si sono comunque adoperati per darmene un'altra. A posteriori forse ho sbagliato a chiedere di cambiare perché era al quarto piano senza ascensore (7 rampe) ed era più piccola rispetto all'altra, ma non mi sembrava corretto chiedere di cambiare ancora. Bagno ampio con grande doccia, buona qualità dei prodotti di cortesia, abbiamo fatto pulire la stanza (lo devi chiedere lasciando il cartello fuori altrimenti non lo fanno). Nella nostra camera non c'era spazio per l'armadio. Per noi non è stato un gran problema perché avevamo solo tre zaini piccoli che per soggiorni più lunghi non avere dove tenere le cose sarebbe complicato. I letti erano comodissimi e anche il terzo era un vero letto e non un divano improvvisato come spesso mi capita. Aria condizionata ok. La distanza da Victoria station varia a seconda di cosa devi prendere: 500 mt per il treno, 750 per metro Verde e Gialla, 900 per metro azzurra.... Abbiamo fatto colazione in hotel perché le vie limitrofe sono prettamente residenziali. Secondo me il prezzo è onesto (10 sterline a testa), l'offerta non è ampissima ma per quello che serviva a noi è stata più che adeguata. E sono stati così carini da offrirci quella del secondo giorno. Il quartiere, nella parte tra la stazione e Pimplico, è carino e con diversi locali e supermercati.
Le scale per i piani altri sono davvero ripide. Non è una sorpresa perché viene detto molto chiaramente e loro sono anche disponibili a dare una mano con le valigie, ma alla fine di una giornata a camminare tanto quando arrivi lì davanti sembrano infinite!
Top Lage: fußläufig zu Victoria Station oder auch Buckingham P.alace. Ruhige Straße, viel Gastro und kleine Supermärkte in der näheren Umgebung. Personal äußerst zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Aufgrund der kaputten Lüftung in unserem Bad wurde uns das Frühstück nicht berechnet.
Lüftung im fensterlosen Bad ging nicht. Unser Zimmer war im Untergeschoss, etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig.
Puiki lokacija. Paslaugūs darbuotojai.
Be galo mažas kambariukas. Visur dulkės. Nėra šaldytuvo.
Location to Victoria, area was nice with proper London buildings. Hotel excellent value for money 😊
Nothing
Room was cosy
The stairs to climb to top
Brandlarmet gick igång mitt inatten. Det stängdes av snabbt men ingen vidare förklaring gavs
Merkezde olmasi cok iyiydi
Oda okadar kucuk ki bir kisi oturup diger kisi ihtiyaclarini gordukten sonra o kisi oturuyor oturan kisi ihtiyaclarini gorebiliyor 2-cok dar bir merdiveni var kaldigimiz 3.kat da oda ve cikmak ve inmek cok zordu
Clean room, AC and perfectly working, quiet.
Very compact and small rooms, no fridge, not all of the staff are friendly (the younger one is hard to communicate with), it is a walk to reach the nearest underground station.
Everything. The staff were so friendly.
Nothing. Everything was good.
The location and look of the hotel, staff very friendly and welcoming always on hand to help. Very clean and tidy
Room space … felt quite small considering we had a family room.
Nowoczesny pokoj z klimatyzacja
Posizione e vista su big ben (ma dipende da quale camera hai)
Non c è ascensore ma essendo case vittoriane e’ il prezzo da pagare Stanze un po’ piccole.. soprattutto se si sta in 3. Bagno senza finestra
For a budget price hotel in a good location it certainly ticked all the boxes
perhaps a slightly bigger room a lift might have been good
Ubicación, cerca de Victoria Line. Zona tranquila pero a 5 m tienes restaurantes y zona de ocio.
Nos dieron una habitación en planta baja que no tenía luz natural. El suelo estaba inclinado.
Location, price, cleanliness
No shelf in bathroom, no luggage foldaway
Friendly staff and good location for what we were planning to do.
The room was very small.
I was thoroughly impressed with how peacefully quiet it was seeing it was in a big city and on a ground floor, Also, the cleanliness of the place. I was especially moved by the thoughtfulness in pre-cooling the room on the hot summer evening before my check-in Alos, pre-booking my taxi for me in the am when I was ready to go to train station.
Can't think of anything negative to say
Very clean ,excellent pillows and great views .
Nothing all good
Friendly and welcoming staff, beds were very comfy and great value for the location
Some of the places in the room were rather dusty
Posizione ottima
Very close to Victoria Station but still quiet. Room nicely decorated and best shower I have had in a long time. Small room as per other reviews, but comfortable bed and great little bathroom. Simple check in but didn’t see any other staff, didn’t have breakfast but the front desk staff member was pleasant
I had a kettle in my room in a cupboard. There wasn’t a socket in the cupboard and the socket next to the bed didn’t seem to work, I had to boil the kettle on the floor which didn’t seem that safe
Near to the train station. Nice reception staff.
No water, no sleepers.
Hotel was very tidy . I stayed here with my son
A bit more space .
AC was perfect it was 36 degrees
We had ground floor 3 person room and were concerned it would not be a nice experience but it ended up being fine
Location, cleanliness and bathrooms very relatively new.
Noise isolation is very weak. Also, rooms are very small and single bed is very small too.
Great location, newly renovated, very friendly staff. Everything as per description and photos.
The room was pretty dusty. Even the walls were covered in a very thick layer of accumulated dust.
Location was great! The room and the bathroom very good, the mattress was comfortable.
Great location! Room was nice and bed was comfy.
Room was bit dusty and there wasn't shampoo in the shower
Отличное местоположение - 10 минут до Victoria Station, 15 до Букингемского Дворца. Цена за номер в 7² - прощает все минусы отеля.
Фанатам Гарри Поттера понравится, каморка в 7м² - это очень странно, но ожидаемо (почти как чулан под лестницей). Отель уровня 2*: нет прачечной, тапочек, халатов. Нет ежедневной уборки номера (хотя, может, это мне так "повезло"). Поломанная сантехника. Ну и если номер на 3 или 4 этаже, то подниматься прилётся пешком.
El hotel era muy bonito y la relación calidad precio fue bastante buena
La habitación para 3 era muy muy pequeña
Ideal location and the room was comfortable. The shower was amazing 👏
The room was a bit too small for a family
Non avevo grosse aspettative visto il prezzo pagato! Classico albergo inglese in zona residenziale tranquilla, camera pulita e funziinale, letto comodo,bagno con doccia, piccola finestra con una bella vista su London Eyes ed Elizabeth Tower, pulizia e personale gentile.
Non c’e’ l’ascensore e la scala per salire e scendere e’ stretta e scomoda specialmente per il 4* piano, non consiglio a persone anziane! Moquette per terra e sulle scale! Stazione metro molto lontana.
Stored our bags. AC in our room worked great. Shower was amazing. Great view
Nähe zu Victoria Station und Victoria Coach Station. Wenn gut zu Fuss auch Buckingham Palace einfach zu erreichen. Frühstück Buffet nicht gross jedoch genug von allem vorhanden. Cereals Konfitüre Brötchen Toast Yogurt Kaffee Früchtestücke etwas Käse und Schinken Säfte
Alles gut.
Property is very nice, the decor in rooms is very modern and smart looking. Hotel workers are lovely, and made us feel very welcome. For a triple deluxe, the room was spacious and comfortable
Only downside is we were in an underground room which was not disclosed anywhere, so when you open the curtain, you are met with a metal wall and no natural light comes in at all
Good location for centre of London. Friendly staff with 24hr front desk. Excellent air-conditioning in the hot weather.
Heel mooie kamer voor 3 personen, prima douche!
L'emplacement, l'accueil, les équipements. Literie impeccable.
Chambre assez petite, on peut à peine circuler. Mal isolée des autres. Nettoyage de la salle de bains perfectible.
The beds were super comfy Air con worked really well Location was close to transport links
nothing
Really friendly welcoming staff and clean rooms! Very central and close to Victoria Station
Good location, and aircon!. Staff kind to let me change and store luggage as i arrived early. I was off to Gatwick early the next morning so good hotel for that.
My room was a shoe box, my feet stuck out of the end of the single bed. I had to open my case on the bed , and the cupboard doors blocked my ability to get out. I was also on the 5th floor and had to carry cases and guitar up 5 narrow flights..
Location and staff were great.
LG5 8 next to outside bins. This isn't great when you open the window to allow the room to air.
La amabilidad del personal
Para acceder a la habitación hay que subir 101 escaleras, una habitación en planta 4, un altillo con una ventana mínima que da a un muro sin apenas pasar luz, un lavabo que tienes que entrar de lado para poder acceder y una habitación con tres camas sin caso alguno. No creo que tenga más de 10m2 la habitación con el baño
Friendly staff, great location, comfy bed !
Le personnel étant accueillant, respectueux et facilitant.
En revanche la chambre est à revoir, nous avions pris une chambre pour 3 personnes qui étaient minuscule à peine la place de se déplacer avec des sacs ou valise. Les chambres sont très mal isolés on entends tout ce qui se passe dans la chambre mitoyenne. Mais ce n’est pas le pire le pire c’est est la propreté : pleins de poussières, mon drap présentait des taches suspectes. Et pour couronner le tout je me suis fait piquer dans l’hôtel et mon médecin m’a dit qu’il s’agissait de punaise de lit.
Great location . Very clean . Welcoming
Room was in cellar so no natural Light . Also air con went off at about 3 am . Bed was very comfy thou
Fantastisk service hele døgnet, fine værelser og rigtig god placering i roligt område.
Понравилось расположение, рядом с вокзалом Виктория, удобно приехать и уехать в аэропорт, ездить на метро по городу. Время заезда и выезда удачно совпало с моим прибытием и отъездом. До некоторых достопримечательностей можно дойти пешком. Недалеко магазины Sainsbury's и Tesco, много кафешек. Улица относительно тихая. Персонал приветливый, откликается на просьбы. В номере самым нужным оказался кондиционер, так как было очень жарко в городе. Всё, что было заявлено, присутствовало, утюг и доску можно попросить на ресепшене. Душ работал замечательно, напор и температура воды нормальные.
Хотелось бы более тихого закрывания дверей, может быть, доводчик поменять, так как некоторые гости не утруждают себя придержать дверь при закрывании. Хорошо бы ещё холодильник в номер. И матрас обновить.
