The Resident Victoria London is a 4-star hotel on Palace Place, a short street between Buckingham Palace and Victoria station. Its rooms come with a small kitchen, so it is a good fit if you prefer to organise your own meals and get around Westminster on foot.
Location and getting around
Step outside and in about 5 minutes on foot you are in front of Buckingham Palace. Victoria station is a similar distance, also about 5 minutes, which makes it easy to arrive by train or connect to the rest of the city. Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament are about 20 minutes’ walk, as is Piccadilly Circus. If you fancy a longer walk, Trafalgar Square is about 25 minutes away.
Rooms and facilities
Every room has a small kitchen with a fridge, microwave, sink with a Brita filter tap and a Nespresso machine. There is a desk, a safe big enough for a laptop and a private bathroom. Wifi is free and reception is open 24 hours.
The hotel does not serve breakfast: the idea is that you make it yourself in the room with the kitchen equipment. If you would like to see other options in the area, here is the full list of hotels in London.
Who it suits
- A good fit if you arrive by train at Victoria and want to sleep a few minutes from the station.
- Practical if you plan to walk around Buckingham Palace, St James’s and Westminster.
- Useful if you work while travelling and need a desk in the room.
Good to know
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 11:00 at the latest. On arrival you will be asked for photo ID and a credit card. Bear in mind that there is no breakfast at the hotel, so it is worth bringing something or buying it nearby on the first day.
