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

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

I would reccomend the hotel it's great if your staying in London for a few days. I stayed with a group of friends it was all our first time in London and the tube stike was on when we were their but we still found it really easy to get around and the hotel was pretty central. The room was... more

Some disappointment with this hotel, which although very well sited for a city break to London, was more of a B&B, than a hotel. The room was clean and of an adequate size. Tea & coffee facilities were available but had to be picked up from a cupboard. Nowhere to safely plug in kettle. A change of towels was only... more

Prior to leaving for London I did exhaustive research on hotels in the city. I became more and more apprehensive about where to lodge after reading so many bad reviews of almost every hotel. Price and location didn't seem to matter. We finally booked a room at the Blades Hotel (which did have quite a few good reviews) but in... more

On our first morning in London, Kevin, the wonderfully witty manager of the Blades Hotel, marched our group of four plus several of his other guests off past Buckingham Palace for "something we must see". It was only a short walk (the hotel is wonderfully located) and Kevin kept us entertained the whole way. We stopped just down from the... more

My daughter and I have now enjoyed two weekends in London and have used Blades Hotel on each occasion. The hotel is in an excellent location being vey good for transport links to all the tourist attractions/sights. The rooms are clean and the staff are very helpful. Breakfast is provided and very good with a selection of fruit, cereal, choice... more

Traveling with 3 young children to London can be a daunting task. It's great to know that when you arrive at the Blades Hotel you've found a comfortable home for the week. The Blades has one of London's few family rooms that actually will accommodate a family of 5. You trade off a hallway bathroom (private to the room), but... more

I was traveling to London for the World Travel Market Show and my husband wanted to tag along. Since he and my 5-year-old daughter hadn't seen London, I brought them along so they could sightsee while I worked. The Blades Hotel met all our needs. Very close to the Victoria Tube station, which is a hub for many lines, the... more
