The Resident Victoria, located just 300 metres from Buckingham Palace, offers close proximity to a selection of attractions, theatres and landmarks.

With free WiFi offered throughout the property, each bedroom in the hotel is comprised of a well-appointed mini-kitchen, fitted with a fridge, microwave, Brita filter sink and Nespresso coffee machine, as well as a sleek en-suite bathroom, desk and laptop-safe.

The staff was helpful and friendly during every interaction. You can't ask for a better location if you want to be near the Palace, yet also shop and eat with ease. Also, room size was quite appropriate for European travel expectations. Let's put it this way ... If my teenage daughter raved about it, it has to be GREAT!

Situated just 5 minutes’ walk from Greenwich Train Station, Staycity Aparthotels London Greenwich High Road offer modern apartments with onsite parking and free Wi-Fi. London Bridge can be reached via train in just 8 minutes’ from Greenwich Station.

We enjoyed staying at this hotel. At the entrance a worker gave us a card key and clearly explained some simple rules (like how to open doors, etc.). The spacious elevator with blue lighting set a fun mood. The room is roomy enough for relaxation and has everything we needed: a sink, dishes, a frying pan, a microwave, a kettle, salt, sugar, milk and tea. The bathroom is spacious with a towel warmer that's always on (a very important feature). It also has all the necessary toiletries like shampoo, soap, and more. The view from the window is stunning, making it pleasant to fall asleep and a joy to admire during breakfast. Across the street is an amazing fish and chips café, and nearby there's a grocery store with everything you might need. Ability to buy grocery and cook saved us a lot of money and it was very convinient. There's also a subway station and bus stops within walking distance. I highly recommend this place.
