Best Western Corona

I’ll start with the positives: the staff here are super friendly and helpful, that includes both reception staff and the staff working in the kitchen at breakfast. The space is really clean and the shower is pretty nice. The negatives: I got moved from my room on the first floor at 10:30pm as it was so cold in there, the patio type door was not closing properly and the wind was howling in around my feet. The beds here are so bad, you know the springy types that stick in your back? Anyway reception moved me straight away to the 4th floor, much warmer and less noisy, sadly the bed was pretty much the same. Rooms were small but as expected, breakfast was average but typical of this kind of arrangement. my sink got blocked on floor 4 and there was a big hole in my tiny bath towel. Tips: do not stay on the first floor it’s soooo noisy there from the road! Hotel: the water and the toiletries are a nice touch but shouldn’t you be doing more in regards to single use plastics? Simply recycling is not enough. It’s not necessary ! less

We were woken up at 6.30 am by kitchen staff clattering past the room speaking loudly to each other. Not a pleasant stay whatsoever. What was meant to be a relaxing trip away ended up being one where we were rudely awoken at stupid o clock by staff laughing and talking outside our room and clattering crockery. There was also black mould in our shower and the room was pretty dated, the towels smelt really strongly of bleach so I wish we had brought our own. For the amount paid and compared to a previous best western hotel we stayed in which was beautiful this one was very disappointing and we would not stay there again especially because we felt like we were dumped in a room which was on the main route for all staff and guests to the kitchen and dining area none of whom had any respect that they were walking past a room and were talking loudly from 6.30 am. We have had much better stays in budget hotels. less

I have been coming to this for about 6 -7 years and it has improved over that time. It is handy for Victoria Train & Coach Stations. It is on the borders of Victoria and Pimlico, and there are shops,and cafes in the area. It is also in walking distance of Buckingham Palace,Westminster, etc. less

Make sure you have a map if arriving on foot. There are 4 steps at the entrance. Have only stayed in a main road facing room which can be a little noisy on a weekday morning. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and heated by an electric wall mounted heater. Heat to your own choice. less

I stayed 1 night on business. Room very small though bizarrely had a very high ceiling! I couldn’t even use the folding case rack properly as no space. The en suite was small too. No air con so would be warm in summer. My room faced the road though it wasn’t too noisy. Breakfast reasonable. At about £175 for the night it was over priced. It is handy for Pimlico tube station. The staff were nice. Wouldn’t rush back. less
