A ten minute walk from Victoria Station, Apollo Theatre, five minutes from Buckingham Palace.......this was an awesome location. It seemed like it was aimed at college students (which we were), but our room was very family friendly. It was rather spacious and the bathroom was nice. The breakfast was typical but nothing to complain about. They also had one of... More

When I stayed for 3 nights in summer, I'd had a few gripes (see "Nearly." below). When I wrote them gently to the manager, she offered me a complimentary night, which I took in mid-October. * It is in a terrific location - near plenty of public transport, near to Westminster Abbey, up a very quiet street but that street...

I had to stay one night in London and was looking for reasonably priced accommodation - not easy to find in London! When I emailed Vandon House to inquire about availability, they responded very quickly and professionally. After a couple of emails, I had paid for and reserved a single dorm room for 40 pounds. Great! I arrived late on... More

The Westminster location was key to getting out to the sights within a very short time of arriving in central London. Bags were tossed in the room and 15 minutes later we were under Big Ben and gawking at Parliament. The rooms are very basic, as they are indeed dorms. We stayed shortly before the students arrived, so rooms filled... More

I was very pleased to have found Vandon House, as I had to arrange a trip at short notice, and be in the Victoria/Westminster area. It was easy to make the initial arrangements, and my emails were answered quickly, although by a different person every time. I knew it was a Hall of Residence, not a Hotel hotel, and was... More

My son (20) and I just got back from London, where we spend a few nights at the Vandon House. I can only say that our stay there was "OK." I gave it an "average" rating here because I don't think its fair to give it a "poor," but to me, "average" is better than it really is. Its location... More

I've traveled some and I wanted to stay in a hotel that felt indigenous to the country, not a cookie cutter type property, yet one I could afford in my budget and centrally located. On this forum, I was directed to the Vandon. I searched high and low and cancelled out two other reservations because I was not completely comfortable... More

Hotels in London are very expensive and I was glad to find this inexpensive place in Central London. It is fairly basic accommodation, designed for students, but it is clean, comfortable, quiet and within walking distance of main central London attractions. We stayed as a family of four and got two rooms, a triple with in-suite shower and a single... More

I stayed for one night here en route to a longer stay in the Bloomsbury area near Russell Square. I was impressed with how clean and quiet the hotel was. Staff was helpful. The bathroom/toliet and shower are shared. But they were very clean and secure. Each person just uses the toliet and shower one person at a time (with... More
