The Windermere was a beautiful property. We wanted an older hotel with character, and the building had that. The complimentary breakfast in the restaurant downstairs was quite good.

Great experience!
Great location 10 min walk from Victoria station (and don’t miss the Sanjugo sushi restaurant halfways).
Building and rooms with lots of old (Victorian?) charm, including uneven and creaky floor. Comfy beds!
Very tasty breakfast of your choice served at the table.
Very friendly and service minded staff/owners.
All in all a great experience at a reasonable price.

Amazing stay. Hotel located in the near center to many shops. One of the biggest train station is 6mn walking distance. The area is very peaceful and the rooms are very clean.
