Excellent first stay with family
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 24 Dec 2011
An excellent first class service at a very good rate for serving and ex serving servicemen and woman.
Memorial wing is basic but clean and adequate for the price and central London location. Ask for a room at the rear of the building to avoid road noise but this is central London.
Bar is modern and bright and very relaxing
Staff were very accommodating and pleasant
Breakfast was first class!
Already booked for another date in the near future.

Excellent location near Marble Arch tube for serving and ex-military personnel. Annual membership only 20 pounds. Two wings, one older (Centenary) and one recently renovated (Memorial). I stayed in the Memorial Wing with double-bed, bath, and full English breakfast for 69 pounds a night--unbeatable. Very accommodating and helpful staff. The sight of various smart military uniforms coming and going brought me back a few years to my time of service. Absolutely enjoyable and highly recommended.

Room tip: Rooms at back are quieter then on Edgeware Road side, which itself is quiet on the weekends.

I just love this place. It's like visiting an elderly aunt who still manages to keep up a semblance of grandeur in a world where 'just about' is good enough for most people. What I like about it - not necessarily in preferential order, is its proximity to Oxford Street and if you aren't satisfied enough with that you can get the tube from Marble Arch or Bond Street and go - well almost anywhere. I love the people at the door (shall we call them porters?) whose faces have now become so familiar and the girls at the desk - friendly and efficient and always trying to ensure that they can get you the best room. Well, that's not easy! I had to book 6 months in advance to get accommodation and when horror of horrors I had to postpone it for a month all they could offer was three separate types of accommodation (including single rooms) over four days. I am not grumbling! The fact that this is acceptable to most of us who book late is indicative of the high order we rate the VSC. I love breakfast times - even although they are pretty busy. I especially love the porridge - and my husband, like me, a once upon a time regular at service messes, loves the 'full breakfast' - black pudding and all. In the evening the 'mess' turns into a lovely dining room: the food is very very good and if you want to eat here - particularly at a weekend you must book. It will be a better meal than you'll get within walking distance. I love the wide open area of the bar - enough to put any high end hotel to shame; the reading room and the other little nooks and crannies where you can curl up and just.....switch off if you don't want to socialise. Most of all I just love the buzz about this place - the staff might not remember your name but you are embraced as one of the family. Yes, it's my great aunt alright - let's hope she lives long enough to continue the good work.

Room tip: Rooms in the Centenary Wing are slightly larger. The single rooms are good value but as previously mentioned many overlook the Edgware Road and it's pretty noisy out there.

Room tip: Higher the floor the better

I stayed here for two weeks as it was booked by my work. There are two 'wings' to this hotel. One has been renovated to a decent standard, but unfortunately the other one has not. Guess which one was booked for us!!. The room was basic but ok. The beds were very small and the mattresses were the kind used for a child with a bladder problem. The worst aspect by far though was the showers. They were terrible! The room only had a bath and you had to walk down the corridor to the shower. When you get there, the shower room is the kind used in caravans ie very cramped. The towels provided in the room were also very small (not good as you have to walk quite a way to the shower!). As this is a hotel for armed forces, or ex-armed forces, we were looking forward to a warm welcome but alas, this was not the case. The staff seemed to think they were working at the Savoy and were very ignorant at times. Some staff were very helpful and friendly but not all. Cant fault the location though, right next to Marble Arch and the bottom of Oxford Street. Cheap in comparison to the rest of London but you do get what you pay for Im afraid. I did not eat in the hotel (theres a wetherspoons round the corner) so I cant comment on the food.

Room tip: Ask for the renovated wing (cant remember what its called), it may cost a little extra but it will be more than worth it.

We've had 2 stays at VSC. Location is amazing & you can't beat the price for an ensuite room in London's West End. The reception staff is less than enthusiastic but generally get the job done. The porters are all very helpful & knowledgeable. Breakfast is a very good selection. We enjoyed meeting new people in the cocktail lounge in the evenings. It's a bit of a crap shoot if you get an older room or a newer one & there is little exceptional about the rooms themselves. They're clean, if in need of minor repairs.

Room tip: Memorial Wing is older & in need of repair & updates. Stay in other wing for more modern accommodation.
