My Wife and I stayed for two nights a week ago, in order to visit the Chelsea Flower Show. The location is good - a short walk from Victoria station/ Underground in a nice locality. We had the option of Basement or 3rd Floor Room, and chose the latter; accessible by a narrow, awkward stair (especially with luggage) - there... More

I recently took a group of college students to London and stayed at the Dover Hotel. The staff and management was ver accommodating to our group. The breakfast was fine, but not extravagant. The rooms were small and plain. But this is similar to many of the other hotels in the area within the same price range. More importantly, though,... More

I agree with the reviewers who poorly rated this hotel. The location is great for Victoria station, but to spend 4 nights as we did was not a good choice. Understand the comments of the owner that it is an old building and not much can be done re space, but this should be reflected more in the descriptions and... More

We were sorry to read about your experience at the Dover Hotel. While we agree with some of your comments, I think that you have exaggerated a lot of them to vent your frustration for what you have paid. The rate you paid is similar to other hotels in the area for busy summer period in London. We have taken... More

I'm giving this hotel a 5 star rating based on the outstanding customer service I received. I booked one night at the Dover hotel with a 3 week old baby. I was considerably put on the bottom floor so I didn't have to take the pushchair up the stairs. The night receptionist was very friendly, polite and extremely helpful, I... More

The rooms are tiny and we ended up in the basement. The free Wireless did not Work well in our room and we did minimize the hours we stayed in the room because of the very limited space. The bathroom should more correctly be named bath cabin. Staff is friendly and the location is good. Next time we will be... More

We appreciate your comments. We provide comfortable rooms at very reasonable price in the center of London. The hotel is situated in old Victorian building and to modernise the structure is very difficult. We will consider your recommendations. More

Rooms are a bit small, but location is less than 5 mins walk from Victoria underground, train and coach services, hence accessibility to all London landmarks and beyond is no problem. Good value for the price paid.

Which in this case is not much apart from a location in Westminster.
