Excellent convenient hotel
The Melina was terror. Very welcoming and helpful with a comfy bed, hot shower with heated towel rack, and a specially brewed cup of coffee in the morning. They went beyond the call to make the service perfect. And the perfect place to stay for sights and choirs.

Staff were exceptionally accomodating. Answered all of our questions about the area. Conveniently located, short walk to Pimlico Tube station and reasonable walk to Victoria station. Walking distance to all the major attractions in Westminister. Room was small, as expected in London. The coffee and pastries in the morning were a bonus. Absolutely nothing bad to say about the hotel or staff.

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, helping us with finding the best ways to get around. Our room was clean and the location was perfect having two underground’s to chose from to get around. And good affordable restaurants around as well. We definitely enjoyed our stay here.

The single room (1 person) was the smallest room I've ever stayed in, in 40 years of traveling. It wasn't terrible if you're not planning on a lot of room tim, which I wasn't. The staff was very responsive to any request I had. Pastries and coffee served in the AM.

Really nice staff, room, and area. We loved the free coffee and pastries in the morning. The staff is outstanding, very pleasant and helpful. The entire hotel gives you the “home away from home” feeling. It’s a short work to all the major sightseeing attractions and to restaurants and pubs.

Great location. Very convenient to the Victoria and Pimlico stations and the 24 bus stop (direct line to Westminster and Trafalgar Square) next to the hotel. The staff is very friendly and the hotel is clean.
The Wi-Fi could be better, however.

A real gem in Pimlico
The best place I have stayed in Pimlico so far. The staff could not have been more helpful, no sneaky extra charges and a great comfortable room. I will be back

Expensive hotel for an uncomfortable nights sleep
Small hotel close to Victoria Station.
Room was clean and adequate - kettle provided with teabags but no coffee. There was a menu to purchase coffee.
The mattress was lumpy and the springs could be heard and felt moving in the mattress. Not sure the last time, a new mattress was purchased for room 36 but I'd recommend it's top of the list.
The bathroom was only adequate - plastic, non-recyclable glasses and an electric shower with no pressure.

Excellent stay. The hotel is very good located. Very close to a bus station that gets you in less than 10 min to the heart of London. Lot of very good restaurant and commodity shops in the hotel area.
The personal is very helpful and very nice. Many thanks to the whole team.

I stayed in the single room (Room 24). Got the room on extremely short notice, which I was grateful for. If you're interested in a place that is close to PLAB exam spot near Vincent square, this is a great location. It is a 5-8 minute walk.
