The Hesperia is a perfectly fine hotel, located right outside of the Victoria station, the final (and only) station of the Gatwick Express. The rooms are quiet and nice and kept clean, and the breakfast is nice (by London standards, anyway). With the Victoria Station being as close as it is, the hotel is ideally suited for sightseeing more or... More

We booked the hotel as part of a two-night coach trip to London. On arrival there was building work going on in the reception but hardly any noise or dust anywhere. Afterwards we found out that the hotel is becoming a DoubleTree Hilton Hotel, hence the building work. Check in was painless and we were in the room within five... More

I'm very annoyed that there was no mention of the refurb on the website. The affected my stay as the lobby wasn't as described (giving a very poor impression), the room was so hot with no climate control, someone tried entering my room without knocking which, as a lone female, made me feel very unsafe, the bar and restaurant weren't...

My partner and I stayed here for 1 night over the weekend. I got a fantastic rate- £63 room only- by doing a 'secret hotel' deal on laterooms.com. When we arrived on Saturday the 2 receptionists were coping excellently on a tiny reception desk while the hotel is being renovated. We had booked a standard room but were upgraded to... More

There are far better and cheaper hotels in the area. The whole of the ground floor is a building site. The bedroom floors are extremely dusty and I was on the executive floor! The exective hotel room had seen considerably better days. The chairs were smelly and dirty. The bedding also very grey. The drain smell was bad. The hotel... More

This is a reasonable hotel and I was very pleased with my stay. Great location, literally right outside Victoria station which has national rail trains and tube connections. You're also within walking distance of Buckingham Palace,Westminster Abbey, etc. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The decor of the room was modern. We went for a standard room which...

It's next to Victoria Station, which is convenient if you need to be in that area. If you are touring and want to walk around I guess it's close to Buckingham and St. James Park. But the immediate area is entirely devoid of personality and charm. If you can stay at the nearby Grosvenor it looks about a million times... More

Currently undergoing rebranding from nh hotels to Doubletree so construction work has closed most of the ground floor, but the receptionists were handling everything very well in a confined lobby check-in. Kudos to them. There was no noise from the renovation works thankfully. The location is excellent for Gatwick and Victoria, but being on any major street in London means... More

The hotel is currently being refurbished to become a Hilton hotel, but this didn't affect our stay at all. The rooms are nice and clean, with a big and comfortable bed, but nothing exceptional that you could expect for the high price you pay. A minibar, kettle, hairdryer, bathrobes, slippers as well as toiletries such as shampoo, shower gel, soap,... More
