Best Western Corona

This is centrally located . Walking distance from West minster. But small rooms with very poor wifi. Ok for single person occupancy. However being located in London and you are tourist then this is okay as you have tube nearby and many touristic places like London Eye . Book in advance to get better rate. Lot of eating option available in 10 minutes walking . We tried Indian restaurant and found it good. less

Fantastic 5 nights at this lovely hotel. Our room was a standard double, it was a small but absolutely great room. Very comfortable, very clean and a lovely view over to the London Eye and Big Ben. It was lovely to come back to after a long day sight seeing. Such pleasant genuine and helpful staff. Situated in a lovely part of London for access to the centre and theatres and the embankment. Walking distance to Buckingham Palace and St James' Park. A wonderful stay. less

I was in room 102 which was tiny. No air conditioning and could open the window fully. The bathroom wasn't much bigger than a phone box and the corner sink was so small I could hardly fit both my hands under the tap. Breakfast was no improvement, all that was available at the hot buffet was bacon, scrambled egg and beans. The hotel does not offer any other hot food options at breakfast, probably because they couldn't fit anymore hot plates in the tiny claustrophobic restraint which is located in the basement. Avoid staying here. less

The Corona is billed as a "three star" (from Wikipedia: Properties that deliver a broad range of amenities that exceed above-average accommodation needs. Good quality service, design and physical attributes are typically fit for purpose to match guest expectations). I would say they are knocking at the door of a two-star. The location is excellent: a few minutes walk to either Pimlico or Victoria Station. There are several amenities that are steps away: dry cleaning, convenience stores, restaurants/pubs, groceries. Structurally, the facility is an antique. Floors droop and creak. Conversations in the hallway can be clearly heard in the guest room. Pluming is primitive (2-3 flushes to take care of things) and the shower temperature adjusts itself from scalding to chilling. There is a breakfast offered for £7/person — adequate and convenient. I am certain they do not have facility to cook on premises but, more so to reheat. On offer: some fresh fruit, cereals, yoghurt, hard boiled eggs, bacon, beans, toast/jam, pastries, coffee/tea. The scrambled eggs are weird. I apologize for not being more eloquent but, I think they are reconstituted from a powder. They are slightly watery with a tinge of a granular texture. So there you have it. Weird scrambled eggs. A signature of the Corona. The staff are very accommodating. The front desk provided an extra fan and extension cord to help to cool the room down. We visited and London was going through a bit of a heat wave. That said, most common areas in the hotel (lobby, corridors etc) were considerably cooler than our room. In the dining area, the buffet items were well-tended and topped up and servers were quick to offer and remember your preferences for coffee or tea and white or brown toast. It's the little things that are impressive. The staff also work hard to keep the hotel very clean. Housekeeping services are reliable and professional. The room is clean and well looked after. There is no fridge or dresser. There is a kettle with a choice of tea and instant coffee in the room. There's also a USB jack in the desk to charge phones. Staff are the only "above average" feature in the hotel. less

Had a lovely stay here, it is basic but all you need is available. Cleanliness is very good but the staff are extemeley friendly and helpful,we could not have picked a nicer group of people, they were like friends. less
