I'm giving this hotel a 5 star rating based on the outstanding customer service I received. I booked one night at the Dover hotel with a 3 week old baby. I was considerably put on the bottom floor so I didn't have to take the pushchair up the stairs. The night receptionist was very friendly, polite and extremely helpful, I... More

The rooms are tiny and we ended up in the basement. The free Wireless did not Work well in our room and we did minimize the hours we stayed in the room because of the very limited space. The bathroom should more correctly be named bath cabin. Staff is friendly and the location is good. Next time we will be... More

We appreciate your comments. We provide comfortable rooms at very reasonable price in the center of London. The hotel is situated in old Victorian building and to modernise the structure is very difficult. We will consider your recommendations. More

Rooms are a bit small, but location is less than 5 mins walk from Victoria underground, train and coach services, hence accessibility to all London landmarks and beyond is no problem. Good value for the price paid.

Keywords: Drafty, noisy, dated, dirty. Before I continue, I must say that I'm not a snob when it comes to hotels, so long as they meet basic need of warmth I'm happy. This hotel failed!!!

We are sorry to read about your experience at the Dover Hotel. However we feel that you have exaggerated your response. We have been in business for over 25 years with average occupancy of over 90%. If what you have said is true, we would be bankrupt by now. We have tried hard to maintain a balance between space and... More

I recently returned from London and this was my 3rd stay at the Dover. This hotel is now "my" hotel for my trips to London. Yes, the building is older. Yes, the rooms are on the small side.

Which in this case is not much apart from a location in Westminster. The rooms are adequate but small, the breakfast likewise (yoghurt, cereal and toast) – but the price is a lot lower than a 'good' hotel in this part of London would be.

I was looking for somewhere cheaply priced near Victoria Station for an overnight so I could attend a meeting in London.
