We enjoyed Kevin and his interesting take on the local scene. He was a gracious host. The breakfast selection was fine and the food was nicely presented. We had requested a room on the lower floors because my wife had just gone through a complete knee replacement. Unfortunately that did not work out. And on our return trip late in... more

My husband and our 23 year old daughter stayed here for 3 nights in Room #8 with one double bed and one twin and private bath. While the room and bath were small, it was very clean and comfortable. The shower was tiny, but the hot water and good pressure made up for it. The innkeeper Kevin was a great... more

We had a wonderful 9 night stay at Blades Hotel. Kevin and the staff were fabulous - friendly, helpful, and so pleasant. Our room was very comfortable and incredibly quiet. The location was perfect - just a few blocks from a Tube station and a bus stop almost right at the door. The value was amazing - we couldn't have... more

We booked this hotel because of its location. A previous review rated the location as 'poor' - so the Queen live in a poor location as she shares same postcode? Really silly question. Very clean hotel, not 5 star but that reflects in room rates. Great buffet breakfast and very good staff who make the stay very pleasant. Advice on... more

The external appearance is fine-once you are inside it all goes wrong. The overall decor is poor and our tiny room located 4 flights up was very poor.Holes in the wall,holes in the curtain,holes in the towels.The lock on our bedroom door required much attention to make it work,it looked as if it had been broken into and then badly... more

At Blades Hotel we know we are not perfect, though we try, we openly invite guests to tell us if anything is wrong with their room or our service. In the entrance hall there is a notice advising that we are undergoing refurbishments - at all times trying not to inconvenience staying guests. From the description given in this review...

We have stayed at Blades several times, and enjoy returning there. Kevin's friendly attention in the (non-cooked but excellent) breakfast room is a highlight. Drawbacks are the steep stairs - especially on the top floor, and the occasional need to seek help with the shower taps, but everything is there - if one asks! Very convenient for bus and tube. more

We like to stay in this location when we go to London and this year left booking til very late but were lucky to get into this hotel. Keven and the staff made the stay very enjoyable indeed. We were lucky <haha> to get one of the top floor rooms and as Kevin said by the time we reached the... more

Spent five wonderful nights at the Blades with my husband and two teens. Room was small but adequate - typical of European hotels. Kevin was great and the personal touch by him and his staff was terrific. Breakfast was great and includes cheese and meat but nothing hot. The only thing I would change is to provide some variety in... more

Will return!

Kevin and his staff were welcoming and friendly. Upper floor rooms were very quiet, even with windows open all night. Breakfast was a friendly affair with other travelers exchanging ideas. The teen shoppers were thrilled with Kevin's suggestions. More like a B&B than cookie cutter hotel, and perfect for a family. more
