Best Western Corona

Great staff so helpful stayed 4 nights in a single room on an upper floor highly recommend an upper floor to open the window no air conditioning rooms are small but extremely comfortable and very clean they do provide fans breakfast is expensive. So unless you eat a big breakfast skip it and walk to Victoria Station to eat. Places you can easily walk to include Buckingham Palace Hyde Park Trafalgar Square The tube and Hop on Hop off buses easy 15 minute walk at VictoriaStation My only con is Should offer a light breakfast such as coffee and muffins for a reasonable price and no ice machine. After a warm day in London they will give you ice if they have it but only had it one day out of 4 in the evening. Highly recommend this hotel in a quiet area and safe Loved It less

Stayed here one night with a friend, 2 twin beds. Note this place doesn’t have air conditioning, but the wifi works, it was clean and close to everything and service was good. We got it on a discount price online in advance which made it a good deal. less

This hotel is well situated, a couple of minutes walk from the tube station and shops/ restaurants. I was checked in and out efficiently and my case was carried to my room as there was no lift to that part of the hotel. My room was hot but there was a big fan. My kettle didn't work but was replaced after speaking to reception. The bathroom suite was green but it was clean and the shower water pressure was really good, far better than expected. Breakfast was tasty with a good selection of food. I needed to leave before breakfast began and I was accommodated. I'd definitely stay here again. less

Was reading the poor reviews of the place below after I booked and felt a bit wary. But my experience was quite the opposite. Granted I was on the 4th floor and could open my windows and it was raining almost every single day I was in London so it didn't feel warm at all. Yes the curtains/windows are 'old' - not sure how that matters though - cause the buildings all along the street and most of the era are older ones. Anyway, room was cosy and clean, cleaning staff always did a really good job. Bed was comfortable and it had all the amenities I needed. Always had heated water in the shower though my flush was a bit wonky. The location is really nice - quiet, safe street with Sainburys', cafes and good restaurants all within walking distance. Pimlico station is nearby and so is London Victoria (10 minute walk), so very convenient. Breakfast was also good. All in all, given the price and location, I'd definitely stay again. less

Oh my gosh, this was nearly the most miserable hotel stay of our lives, and we have visited approx 60 countries, all for pleasure, which equates to lots of hotel stays. The issue is that the room had NO air conditioning. I went to speak with the front desk and was told that they only provide a fan to keep guests cool. And, the fan hardly blew any air. Our room was on the first floor, so we were unable to open the window to let in some fresh air, for safety concerns. It was like a sauna inside and we couldn’t take a nap during the day without sweating profusely. In fairness, in the winter this wouldn’t be an issue, but now London is in the midst of a heat wave...how can anybody sleep comfortably in the summer without opening a window? I almost rated this hotel a one-Star, But, later I learned that many London hotels have no air conditioning, so if air conditioning is a concern, check on that no matter where you book. And, we received a hassle on getting breakfast included. It’s a good thing we confirmed before traveling and I am so glad that we did. Our booking was very specific “breakfast included”. I read a review before traveling about another guest having an issue about the included breakfast. At my cost, I called the London hotel from the USA, and inquired about my included breakfast. I was rudely advised that breakfast was NOT included. I countered that I have a printout of my booking saying that it is, but to no avail. I called the booking agent, who called the hotel, and it was straightened out. In U.S. dollars, the breakfast would have cost us approx. $17.00 (£13) each for a simple breakfast. It was a stressful hassle due to the hotel clerk, but fortunately it got resolved prior to our trip. Finally, we emailed the manager prior to arrival with a question, and he never did answer the message. Note that there are no safes in the room. The good news: - As to the location of the hotel, it is close to two Metro stops, Victoria and Pimlico. - The neighborhood seemed safe to us, and we walked to the Victoria Train Station and the Victoria Coach Station early in the morning with no issues. The surrounding area is nice. No, I would never book here again in the summer. less
