Very Good

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.
Overall, good as friendly reception and not first stay, which is why I picked it.

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 .
Hotel was in a great location. Staff were friendly and the room was clean and quiet. The only negative thing I can saw was that the shower pressure was pretty pathetic, but this wasn't a major issue for me.
Whilst the property feels a little 'tired', it's clean and 'does what it says on the tin'. We enjoyed our stay and the lady on reception was very friendly and helpful. Great value for what we wanted..... a one night stay in London not too far from the Royal Albert Hall.
[By the way, whilst the booking was in my wife's name, Sara, it was me who stayed there.... SIMON]
The hotel is what it offers. A regular 3-stars with no inconveniences. The only downside is that there’s no minibar in the room.

Not a very good stay
We didn’t realize the hotel did not have an elevator, and we had heavy luggage and had to walk up five flights of stairs. The room is very small and there were no amenities (beverages, etc). The water pressure was also very weak. The woman at the desk was very nice though and apologetic It was still tough walking up and down five flights of stairs every time you wanted to leave the room. The location was great, but would not stay again.

The receptionist was so sweet and answered any questions that we had about the area!
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.
