Simple Budget Friendly - does the important stuff

This is a simple budget friendly hotel. I paid GBP70 for a one night stay. The room was small but very clean, the shower was hot, the bed was comfy and the room was a comfortable temperature. I did not need a desk to work at so that was not an issue. For a one night crash over it was more than adequate. Breakfast was very very simple. Just toast and jam, coffee and juice from concentrate. But given a lot of hotels at this price point would not include anything its was welcome and saved me feeling starving hungry as I walked out the door. There was a night manager on overnight so my extremely late check in was accommodated and he was polite and friendly. Check out was very rapid. All in all very satisfied for what it is. An amazing location with easy access to the nearby Victoria station. No frills but the basics done well.

Hotel location is fine, about 5 minutes to Victoria station. the room was too small and the heater was so hot, we sweat all night, please if you read this comment try to lower the temperature or have some kind of thermostat that can adjust it. Thanks

Expedia should be in trouble for booking people in the basement which is a fire risk and this hotel. I reported them to the fire marshal because there’s a basement room where the only way out is through a very, very long hallway that includes the exit and they should never book anybody down. There is a terrible place and we left and they would not give us a refund

I made the right choice to pick this hotel. Easy walk fromVictoria station, Buckingham Palace and etc.. The front desk man Sajjad worked with our needs. The breakfast was good and staff were attentive to dining guests always filling up table needs. Location wise, easy transportation, safety and modesty is what you need. I recommend the Dover.

Great location but not one we’d book again

The reception staff were very friendly, but the hotel is extremely basic for the cost. Our room smelt very peculiar and when we went to breakfast in the morning, no one came to meet us so we just left. I am sure if we had found the staff they would have served us with a smile, but it didn’t feel that comfortable. Great if you want a cheap stay in a great location, but not one we would stay at again.

This was the perfect accommodation for our family of five. The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. The location was great being only 5 minute walk from Victoria Station with many local places to eat. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend. Thank you!
