Lovely friendly people and homely environment. Cold downstairs family room but remedied with free standing heaters. Good location for central London. Noisy phone ringing from 5am and could hear rumbling of train, so needed earplugs. As a last minute booking though was 'good enough'. Allowed for me to have a bit of flexibility with my checkout time.

I didnt like that the bathroom was down the hallway and not in our room. We were not informed of that until we got to the room. The heaters didnt work and the room was very cold. The employee brought in a portable heater for us to use. The room was not worth the price we paid.
Stayed here as its close to the US embassy and it was so convenient. The hotel is in a busy part of London so prices elsewhere can be quite pricey but prices at Blade are reasonable for the no frills accomodation- clean, super friendly staff and well maintained tooms. Its a few minutes walk from the Pimlo tube station and at least 15 -20 minute walk to Nine Elms. Highly recommend.
Good value and location for central london. It is a basic, solid room and accommodation. Would stay again.

Loved the location , with dining and a wine bar close by . Walking distance to train station . Accommodation was safe and secure , clean . The staff member was great and communicated with all the way . Down side of apartment, top floor was like climbing Mount Everest and pillars rock hard .
The hotel ensured, before my stay, that I knew, completely, the room size and amenities. They communicated with me to ensure they knew when to expect me.

Cancelation policy is not acceptable in todays customer service demands
A very traditional Victorian tradition hotel with all the charm. Brilliant location. No lift, not a problem for us but beware if you need a lift.
Pimlico underground around the corner and quick easy access to all of London from a safe location.
