Excellent convenient hotel

The Melina was terror. Very welcoming and helpful with a comfy bed, hot shower with heated towel rack, and a specially brewed cup of coffee in the morning. They went beyond the call to make the service perfect. And the perfect place to stay for sights and choirs.

Expensive hotel for an uncomfortable nights sleep

Small hotel close to Victoria Station. Room was clean and adequate - kettle provided with teabags but no coffee. There was a menu to purchase coffee. The mattress was lumpy and the springs could be heard and felt moving in the mattress. Not sure the last time, a new mattress was purchased for room 36 but I'd recommend it's top of the list. The bathroom was only adequate - plastic, non-recyclable glasses and an electric shower with no pressure.

Staff were exceptionally accomodating. Answered all of our questions about the area. Conveniently located, short walk to Pimlico Tube station and reasonable walk to Victoria station. Walking distance to all the major attractions in Westminister. Room was small, as expected in London. The coffee and pastries in the morning were a bonus. Absolutely nothing bad to say about the hotel or staff.

The Melita was wonderful. Such a beautiful, quiet location. The room was clean and well attended. The morning pastries were lovely. The staff was friendly. Couldn’t have asked for much more. Can’t recommend staying here enough.

The single room (1 person) was the smallest room I've ever stayed in, in 40 years of traveling. It wasn't terrible if you're not planning on a lot of room tim, which I wasn't. The staff was very responsive to any request I had. Pastries and coffee served in the AM.

I stayed in the single room (Room 24). Got the room on extremely short notice, which I was grateful for. If you're interested in a place that is close to PLAB exam spot near Vincent square, this is a great location. It is a 5-8 minute walk.

I have never encountered such a welcoming staff!!! They are truly committed to making your stay with them as comfortable as possible! I encountered some room challenges, with a tiny room and tepid water for the shower. As long as you are prepared for that, you will be fine!
