We were eight persons, 4 adults and 4 children, and we stayed at Shellbourne between de 14 of August until the 15th. We were quite pleased with the size of the rooms, who were very good with a lot of space. The hotel had been recently re-furnished with ikea furniture, the rooms and bathroom were very clean, we had cofee... more

This is the smallest hotel room we ever stayed in. Not for swinging cats in. Also stuffy and very noisy given the street traffic outside. Not really worth a night's stay. Try somewhere else. Greed has led to the provision by subdivision of rooms that simply do not function as hotel rooms. Avoid like the plaque. more

We used husband's last 15 years of air miles to purchase a holiday for 3 nights for 5 of us. Having read the comment about the fire risks, I was terrified when the fire alarm went off at 4am, but I was pleasantly surprised when the evacuation went well, with fire escape(at least from the 4th floor) functional. Fortunately, false... more

Stayed one night in May 2008 at the Shelbourne. Charged £47, you have to pay in cash before you get to your room. They dont accept credit/debit cards which is a bit strange. I had a single room, small, but did the job for one night as I wasnt going to be spending alot of time in it. Clean room... more

It was tiny and very basic,but we were content enough with it... more

With a limited budget, I was looking for a hotel for an overnight stay convenient to Central London for a group of four schoolboys and accompanying teacher and spouse. The hotel seems to be in the process of changing its name. I paid £203 for B&B for six people. The location was great - less than five minutes walk from... more

The photo's for this hotel on this site are outdated and doesn't do this hotel/Bed and breakfast any favours. The Shellbourne has recently been refurbished, so its really nice and clean when you stay there now. For recent photo's of this hotel check out - http://www.travelstay.com/pages/ShellbourneHotel.htm. I have read some reviews stating the rooms are small, but i have seen... more

I was terrified about this hotel, but eventually it was fine! The rooms was kinda small, but they was nice decorated, cozy, confortable and clean! Cleaner was coming everyday when we was out, new sheets and towels everyday. The rooms had kettles, mugs and coffee/tea. The breakfast was OK. Someone said that croissants were "rocks", but there was a microwave... more

i booked 3 hotels during my stay in london (its a long story that i wont explain here!). they were all similar in 'class' (about 3 star). the shellbourne was definitely better than what i expected considering what i paid. it was easily the best out of all the 3 i stayed in. i got a single room with private... more
