When my husband and I first arrived, we were greeted by Phil. He was extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. He provided directions, as well as, two city maps and one for the Underground. We let them know ahead of time we would be arriving early from the US and just needed a place to store our luggage. However, they had... More

My husband and I stayed at the Windermere Hotel for four nights this Spring, because it was recommended to us by my mother. She was right to do so! Knowing that the rooms were comfortable, but rather small, we booked a bigger (therefore more expensive) room and got the Cartmel Room on the first floor. This is a nice and... More

Stayed here a while ago, but I felt this was classic English hospitality. Best English full breakfasts every morning and close by to pubs, laundromat and shopping in easy walking distance. A bit cramped, as we were in the basement, and corridors were very skinny, but otherwise quite clean and comfortable.

Dear KMRoberts, Thank you very much for your review. Since your last stay with us in May 2011, we have enhanced our hotel a little further. Last year saw the completion of the renovation of some guest rooms and common areas, and our much loved elevator! We have also renovated our Reception and Lobby areas - they look wonderful. Regardless... More

The Windermere Hotel is located 5 minutes away from Victoria station and in a foot-reach to Buckingham palace, Westminster Abbey and London eye. The hotel itself is a typical Victorian house with a small restaurant in the souterrain, that can also be used by non-residentals. The rooms are quite spacious compared what I was used to in London. Further more,... More

Avoid room LG1, my suitcase was bigger than the room. But fear not, the place is spotless and the bed was very comfy. Pimlico is a delightful part of London too. I would go again but would insist on more bedroom space, what with being claustrophobic!

Dear Coxy44, Thank you for your review. LG1 is one of our recently refurbished rooms, including a lovely shower room. It is a single room, and therefore one of the smallest. We have 19 guest rooms ranging from the Single to the Deluxe category. The rooms are larger the higher up the category hierarchy you go, but all 19 guest... More

We stayed in the Windermere for one night in March. We have been looking for a hotel within walking distance of Victoria Station and this proved to be just what we were looking for. Easy walking distance of Buckingham Palace and other London Attractions. We went to a show in the evening and it was an easy walk to this.... More

Ok, so the rooms are small, but so are the rooms in every other hotel in London - and to be honest, that is the only down side of the Windermere Hotel. The staff here are nice and friendly. The rooms are very comfortable, with good beds, windows that open, functional bathrooms and they're spotlessly clean. The breakfast is really... More

When you are away from home it is so very welcoming to be met by people who are genuinely smiling and are interested in your general well being. At The Windermere you get that sincere, caring smile from managers and staff alike. It's my 3rd visit to The Windermere in 2 years and I am impressed by their continuous dedication... More

It is close to Victoria Station , Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. The staff are particularly helpful and we got there by a pre booked taxi from Heathrow. A good... More
