The 18-room Park Hotel is a budget property situated in a Victorian townhouse in central London’s Pimlico area. The main selling point of this hotel (other than good value) is location: It's a five-minute walk from Pimlico Station, a nine-minute walk from Westminster Cathedral, and in easy walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and public transport. Rooms are on the small side, even by London standards, but they do have private en-suite bathrooms, electric kettles, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. The property has few extra features, but a free continental breakfast with a limited selection is offered in a bare-bones room each morning. The nearby Hanover Hotel Victoria has larger rooms and a little more ambiance, though it’s slightly pricier.

Scene
Budget property in central London with few frills
Situated within a long row of charming Victorian town houses shared with other hotels, the two-pearl Park Hotel has a white facade with pretty window molding and second story balconies. The hotel doesn't have a proper lobby; there is a small reception desk and brochures displayed in the entryway. Decor throughout is basic, including white walls and wood floors. While style isn't a draw here, this property is clean and fresh, in part due to a 2014 renovation. The price point and central location near transport are the main selling points here. The hotel is geared toward budget travelers and tourists, including groups and families who want to stay together and save.
Location
In central London, a five-minute walk to Pimlico Station and walking distance to restaurants, shops, and sights
The Park Hotel is ideally situated on a quiet side street in central London’s Pimlico area. This convenient location is the hotel's prime selling point. The hotel is in walking distance to public transportation, shopping, restaurants, and attractions, and is only a nine-minute walk from Westminster Cathedral. The Palace of Westminster and Buckingham Palace are 20 minutes away on foot. The Pimlico tube station is a five-minute walk from the hotel; other tube stops are also within walking distance.
Rooms
Tiny rooms with en-suite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and electric kettles -- but limited decor and noise issues
Rooms at the Park Hotel are tight on space, even by regular London standards (some rooms only have a foot or so of walking space surrounding the bed, and guests complain there's nowhere to put luggage). For the price point, rooms are fresh and clean with comfortable beds. A 2014 refurbishment refreshed the rooms, which are a definite step up from a hostel; all rooms are private, and each one includes an en-suite bathroom, a hairdryer, flat-screen TV, safe, and electric kettle. Bathrooms are similarly compact but modern in style with walk-in showers, pedestal sinks and mirrors, and toilets. Note that rooms do not have air-conditioning or mini-fridges. Wall-to-wall carpeting, white walls, and leaf-patterned accent walls complete the basic decor. Most rooms have one window that doesn’t let in much light, and due to thin walls, rooms can be noisy, especially the basement rooms that are near the breakfast area. The four-story building has no elevator and stairs are steep. Some guests have complained about a lack of hot water and unreliable Wi-Fi.
Features
Few property features, but limited free continental breakfast available
The Park Hotel is a basic budget property that doesn't have many on-site features. While there is no fitness center or business center, the hotel does have a bare-bones basement breakfast room where a free continental breakfast is served. The spread is limited, including coffee, toast, orange juice, and cereal. And the space is barely decorated with tiled floors, white walls, and metal tables and chairs. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property, but can be unreliable.
