Cute hotel with professional and kind staff. They always greet you with a smile and encourage questions about the area and nearby attractions. Complimentary pastries and coffee (machine for lattes, etc) available in the morning along with pleasant conversation. Rooms are small but this is typical for London accommodations. Enjoyed our stay!
The Melina was terror. Very welcoming and helpful with a comfy bed, hot shower with heated towel rack, and a specially brewed cup of coffee in the morning. They went beyond the call to make the service perfect. And the perfect place to stay for sights and choirs.

Simple and small room. Old furniture but clean and functional. Nice area and close to attractions.
The Melita was wonderful. Such a beautiful, quiet location. The room was clean and well attended. The morning pastries were lovely. The staff was friendly. Couldn’t have asked for much more. Can’t recommend staying here enough.
The best place I have stayed in Pimlico so far. The staff could not have been more helpful, no sneaky extra charges and a great comfortable room. I will be back
I had a lovely stay at the Melita hotel. Anna & Cash who both worked in the reception was more than friendly, they were lovely.
The atmosphere is warm and familiar the staff is more than helpful. Although the hotel doesn’t serve breakfast they offer free coffee and pastries in the morning to take into your room if wanted. The also offered a discount at a restaurant nearby for breakfast out. This hotel is my only choice next time in London
I stayed in the single room (Room 24). Got the room on extremely short notice, which I was grateful for. If you're interested in a place that is close to PLAB exam spot near Vincent square, this is a great location. It is a 5-8 minute walk.
The single room (1 person) was the smallest room I've ever stayed in, in 40 years of traveling. It wasn't terrible if you're not planning on a lot of room tim, which I wasn't. The staff was very responsive to any request I had. Pastries and coffee served in the AM.
Staff were exceptionally accomodating. Answered all of our questions about the area. Conveniently located, short walk to Pimlico Tube station and reasonable walk to Victoria station. Walking distance to all the major attractions in Westminister. Room was small, as expected in London. The coffee and pastries in the morning were a bonus. Absolutely nothing bad to say about the hotel or staff.

I have never encountered such a welcoming staff!!! They are truly committed to making your stay with them as comfortable as possible!
I encountered some room challenges, with a tiny room and tepid water for the shower. As long as you are prepared for that, you will be fine!

Expensive hotel for an uncomfortable nights sleep
Small hotel close to Victoria Station.
Room was clean and adequate - kettle provided with teabags but no coffee. There was a menu to purchase coffee.
The mattress was lumpy and the springs could be heard and felt moving in the mattress. Not sure the last time, a new mattress was purchased for room 36 but I'd recommend it's top of the list.
The bathroom was only adequate - plastic, non-recyclable glasses and an electric shower with no pressure.
First impressions were excellent! The hotel is well situated, easy to get to and in a quiet (yet very central) neighborhood.
Even though we arrived incredibly early (hoping only to store our luggage until the room was ready), management/ownership graciously found a way to get us into a room early in the morning!! This was unexpected and MUCH appreciated.
Our room was on the top floor (in a building with no elevator) - but the hotel made sure we had help getting our bags up to our room.
Our stay included specialty coffee and pastries at breakfast. These were DELICIOUS and waking-up to the aroma of freshly baking pastry was heavenly.
We loved our stay here. The room was spacious and lots of hot water in the shower. I wish there was a way to have some sort of air conditioning in the rooms and not just fans. Our room was rather warm on at least one night, even with the fans running. This is a very minor criticism as we booked the hotel knowing that A/C was not available.
Location was fabulous - we were able to get everywhere in London with ease. We even walked to Buckingham Palace! Area felt very safe, even when returning to the hotel at night.
Overall, highly recommended!
The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, helping us with finding the best ways to get around. Our room was clean and the location was perfect having two underground’s to chose from to get around. And good affordable restaurants around as well. We definitely enjoyed our stay here.

Great location. Very convenient to the Victoria and Pimlico stations and the 24 bus stop (direct line to Westminster and Trafalgar Square) next to the hotel. The staff is very friendly and the hotel is clean.
The Wi-Fi could be better, however.

Really nice staff, room, and area. We loved the free coffee and pastries in the morning. The staff is outstanding, very pleasant and helpful. The entire hotel gives you the “home away from home” feeling. It’s a short work to all the major sightseeing attractions and to restaurants and pubs.
