We booked and paid for this accommodation (non refundable) before we started using trip advisor and were very apprehensive after reading the comments. Overall we had no problems with this stay. The position was great. 5 minutes from the Victoria train station and an easy 20 minute walk to Westminster Bridge past some great pubs. The hotel provides 24 hour front desk cover and the staff were helpful. What can you expect for 100 pound in London. The room was very basic, small but clean and some street noise. We had a room for three which was a real squeeze. The breakfast was basic but adequate. Compared to our later experience with B&Bs through the UK, this is very no frills hotel but you get what you pay for and it was all part of the adventure.

I stupidly tried to get the last train home to Brighton after my hen party in London one Friday night.... and of course missed it. I wandered around for about an hour, trying to find a National Express bus home, and then trying to find a hotel room for the night.

The hotels around Victoria station were very expensive, most of them £200 - £300 for the night (I only needed a few hours!) Finally, a nice woman at the reception of a big hotel told me about Belgrave Road, a few blocks away from Victoria, where there are lots of little B&Bs and guest hotels. Hallelujah!

I stumbled down there, and after knocking on a few doors of places that were full, I came across the Dover Hotel, which had one room left. It was £45 (I had no idea you could actually get a hotel room for this cheap in Central London!), and the man behind the desk was very friendly. Despite being a drunk and strangely dressed woman alone in the middle of the night, I felt quite safe right away in this hotel. My room was on the top floor, and had an en suite bathroom. The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean. I was very very impressed that I'd found somewhere this decent for £45 in London! I've stayed similar places in London and paid three times that much!

I didn't try breakfast, as I was still dressed in my hen party costume the next morning and had to do the walk of shame out of there.... but at least I didn't have to spend the night on a park bench! I've now recommended it to my friends and family who need to stay in London on a budget - it's good value for money!

We stayed at the Dover Hotel in London for 5 nights in March 2008. Hotel was very clean. The room was small, but clean. It was always neatly made up with fresh towels each day when we returned. The beds were comfortable.The staff were friendly and accomodating. The front desk is manned all night.

The location of the hotel is the best -- excellent for getting around to see all the sights - approx 2 blocks from Victoria station, where you can get on the tube or catch buses. One street over we found plenty of restaurants, affordable, good food. There was also a market nearby (next block) where we could get all sorts of snacks, fresh fruit etc.

Breakfast was basic - coffee, juice, toast, jam, choice of cereal. Unfortunately the breakfast room (in the basement) was often crowded, people waiting in the hallway to sit.

Our room was on the second floor, streetside, and the noise level from the street was sometimes loud (ie: horns, sirens, late night partiers).

Before travelling to GB, we had thoroughly researched accomodation in the area, and were expecting the smaller rooms, steep stairs, small facilities. We were pleasantly surprised by the Dover Hotel and would consider staying at here again when in London.

We stayed here for one night and would probably use it again. We paid £55 including breakfast, which is just about as low as it gets in London. There was a lot to be very positive about. The staff at the front desk were great. Very helpful, allowing us to leave our bags there until late afternoon of our departure day. The room was clean and quiet-ish (we got a room at the back of the hotel). Breakfast (continental) was fine - cereal, toast, juice and teac/coffee - exactly as advertised. In terms of value for money, there was nothing whatever to argue about.
A couple of negatives. Firstly, don't even think about coming here unless you can manage five flights of narrow stairs to the top floor. Not a problem for us, though .
Secondly, the beds were old - ours had the springs sticking through in two places. We used towels to cover them up so there was no loss of sleep.
Finally, I simply dread to think what we would have done in the case of a fire. I'm not saying that they hadn't passed fire safety tests, as there were luminous notices and all the right fire extinguishers and fire safety notices everywhere. My concern was simply how to get out from the fifth floor in a very narrow building with no obvious emergency exits. I didn't explore the answer to this fully though.
And overall we would definitely return - for one or two nights. It's a little cramped for anything longer.
Excellent value though.
