The most worrying thing is that the hotel displays AA 4 star signs. 2 star would be generous so the obvious conclusion is that AA ratings are not worth anything. The Sidney is one of hundreds of hotels in the Pimlico/Victoria area but should be your last choice. The double bedroom I had was so small you could not get... more

In London for a business trip, stayed two nights and really struggled to find anything wrong with the hotel at all. Located on a road with many other hotels on it - wide and safe, five minute walk to Pimlico tube or ten minutes to Victoria, lots of restaurants, pubs and even a good Sainsburys supermarket within five minutes walk.... more

really nice hotel, spotless room, gorgeous en-suite. Room was a little warm, and the air-con is just a fan on the ceiling which can be a little loud at night. Apart from this its a really nice hotel, great location, staff are really friendly......highly recommended for work or pleasure stay more

I stayed two days at this hotel for business event and the experience I had with this hotel was absolutely far from comfort – awful if this is a better word to describe it. The staff was extremely rude to guests, when my first check-in at the lobby I politely ask the girl at frond desk to check my reservation... more

Very small rooms, especially single ones, but great location. Bus stop is 10 meters from the entrance. Walk distance from Victoria tube and train station. Reasonably priced for Central London more

When my friend and I arrived at the Sidney Hotel, we were sent to our room, only to find that it was a double and not a twin, as I had been promised. I called down to the desk and was told that the agent had only booked a double and to return to reception. When I got there, the... more

After staying in very nice, clean, comfortable hotels for most of my trip (k & k hotel george is excellent as is base2stay kensington) I ended it on a very sour note by staying at the Sidney. Upon arrival you're greeted by a nice lobby and staff. However my room wasn't ready yet so I stored my luggage and then... more

The Sidney Victoria has obviously had quite a bit of work done on it in recent times, and has many nice features, but a few relatively minor changes would make a big difference. Positives: Well staffed, staff are helpful and friendly, good location, nice flat-screen TVs, clean rooms, excellent quality breakfast, nice breakfast room. Negatives: Depressing & dated decor in... more
