If you are looking for a small, quaint, hotel/bed & breakfast, I would highly recommend the Windermere. It's located in a quiet, largely residential area which is about a 5-7 minute walk from Victoria station, which is a large terminal where you can access the Tube. The Hotel is basically a classic old house with a very charming feel. We... more

The hotel was not in a very promising neighborhood, and was much more run down than I expected from the reviews or from their website. We were taken to a sad, little room at the top of the hotel, and left minutes later. It was completely unacceptable. I can not recommend this hotel. more

I was in London on my own--a middle-aged American woman. The Windermere was the perfect hotel for me. The room was small, but certainly adequate, and everything was clean. Victoria Station? Just a stretch of the legs. Finding a place for dinner? Just go down stairs into the hotel's little resturant and enjoy meals from fresh ingredients prepared by a... more

This place is an excellent find in London. The staff was incredible - everyone extremely friendly and helpful. My sister and I booked this hotel based on it's location but will definitely be going back. We arrived pretty late in the evening because air traffic control problems (our flight was seriously delayed). All we wanted to do was grab a... more

I booked 2 rooms at this hotel (based on these Tripadvisor ratings) on August 28 for our stay on October 4-5. Later that same day I learned that our flight from Winnipeg to London was not going to happen since the carrier - Zoom Airlines - had ceased operating. So within 24 hrs of my booking I canceled our rooms.... more

Well overall I had a comfortable stay in the windermere, slept well and ate well.....breakfast was freshly cooked to order and was lovely!! There is a nice family feel to the hotel and was made to feel welcome. Main dislike was the size of the bathroom...TINY! The sink was in the bedroom and the bathroom was a shower cub which... more

This hotel had a great location not far from Victoria Station. The staff was very friendly and helpful with advise on where to start (in London) and how to get around. We stayed for 2 nights. Our room was on the 4th floor, I think. It was hard to tell with the crazy layout of the hotel. We had a... more

I stayed in this hotel last June. I had a single room on the second floor. It is a small family run hotel. I have to say that for the location the hotel was extremely cheap, just 10 minutes from Victoria in a very quiet area. My room was small but adequate with a shower, no bath so this would... more
