We had a wonderful 9 night stay at Blades Hotel. Kevin and the staff were fabulous - friendly, helpful, and so pleasant. Our room was very comfortable and incredibly quiet. The location was perfect - just a few blocks from a Tube station and a bus stop almost right at the door. The value was amazing - we couldn't have... more

We booked this hotel because of its location. A previous review rated the location as 'poor' - so the Queen live in a poor location as she shares same postcode? Really silly question. Very clean hotel, not 5 star but that reflects in room rates. Great buffet breakfast and very good staff who make the stay very pleasant. Advice on... more

The external appearance is fine-once you are inside it all goes wrong. The overall decor is poor and our tiny room located 4 flights up was very poor.Holes in the wall,holes in the curtain,holes in the towels.The lock on our bedroom door required much attention to make it work,it looked as if it had been broken into and then badly... more

We have stayed at Blades several times, and enjoy returning there. Kevin's friendly attention in the (non-cooked but excellent) breakfast room is a highlight.

Spent five wonderful nights at the Blades with my husband and two teens. Room was small but adequate - typical of European hotels. Kevin was great and the personal touch by him and his staff was terrific. Breakfast was great and includes cheese and meat but nothing hot. The only thing I would change is to provide some variety in... more

Kevin and his staff were welcoming and friendly. Upper floor rooms were very quiet, even with windows open all night. Breakfast was a friendly affair with other travelers exchanging ideas. The teen shoppers were thrilled with Kevin's suggestions. More like a B&B than cookie cutter hotel, and perfect for a family. more

I would reccomend the hotel it's great if your staying in London for a few days. I stayed with a group of friends it was all our first time in London and the tube stike was on when we were their but we still found it really easy to get around and the hotel was pretty central. The room was... more
