Access to Main Train Station

  • March 27, 2008
  • Rated 4 of 5 by a traveler from Travelocity.com
This hotel is excellent if arriving by air into Gatwick or Heathrow and don't want to deal with Taxi's or the Subways. From the Airports, Take Express train to Victoria Station and Exit to your right off the train platforms- That is once you get off the train and walk into the Main Station GO TO YOUR RIGHT. We didn't know and there aren't any signs. Walk all the way around past the last track Go to your right and head down the path along the train tracks. There will be shops on your left and tracks on your right. At the end of the shops on your left is an Exit. Walk out that door (Wilton Road Exit), walk under the Bridge and the Hotel is on your right. You can't miss it. If you go this way, you will be exposed to any weather for no more than 50 feet and you are at the hotel. Once you know this route, you can access subways and main trains to go anywhere in London or the UK you desire. The Concierge Guys are ALL Excellent. If arriving early morning (most Int'l flights do), they will store your bags, EVERYTHING and will put them in your room when the room is ready. If taking family vacation, this will happen so deal with it. Small family like us 3-4 people I suggest to book PRIVATE Tour. Tour guide will pick you up with PRIVATE Vehicle and escort you around London to take in all the sites. When you arrive back to hotel around 5-6PM, everyone is dead tired and will sleep sound and be ready for the next day. This info (Directions)would have helped us so I hope it is of some help to you.

Victoria Park Plaza

  • June 30, 2004
  • Rated 4 of 5 by jim from Charlotte, North Carolina
I had a very pleasant stay at the Victoria Park Plaza. The hotel had some very nice touches, the service was exceptional, and the room was fairly large and comfortable. It wasn’t the coolest hotel in London (although it selectively tried to have a higher sense of style), but it provided pretty good value for the money. My impression was that it was a very good choice for business travelers who wanted a little more than a generic hotel room.

Regarding the room, it had plenty of space and everything I needed. I particularly liked the bathroom, which had a frosted glass door, a neat tub, and a stylish glass counter and sink. The main sleeping area was fairly minimal, but certainly tastefully done. The bed was a little soft, but I had no problem sleeping. There was a high-speed (or dialup) Internet connection. The pricing for the Internet connection was fair (2.99 pounds for an hour of dialup; 10.99 for 24-hour dialup; 12.99 for 24-hour high-speed). There were electrical connections for every type of plug (i.e., U.S., European Union, England), which is nice if you don’t have an adapter. And the television had plenty of options in terms of channels, including access to six pay-per-view movies for only 10.95 pounds for 24 hours.

I was also impressed with the customer service and other services at the hotel. For example, I called the concierge to get an Ethernet cable for my Internet connection. The cable was delivered to my room in less than five minutes. I also got good recommendations for places to eat, help with taxi arrangements and excellent service at the bar. The bar was located next to the lobby and you could get a drink in a comfortable atmosphere until late into the night. Finally, the hotel had a nice workout facility. There were weight machines, free weights and exercise equipment. There was also a nice sauna and steam room. As far as hotel fitness centers go, this one ranked very high.

All said, I recommend this hotel. It is particularly nice for the business traveler who wants all of the services you need while on the road and a little bit of style.

The hotel was very modern and very confortable. Check in was as simple as handing the reservation to the front desk. Day tours were easily set up at the desk. The location next to the Tube and Victoria station made city travel easy. Rooms were spacious and bathrooms modern. Beds wer conforatable. Resturants of all kinds within easy walking distance. Front desk had a cab waiting at the specified time on departure. we would stay again.

The Victoria Park Plaza works great for my business trips to London. It's so easy to catch the Gatwick Express to Victoria and then the hotel is walking distance from the station. The front desk is staffed from a variety of international locations and they are all very service oriented. On my second stay, they had remembered that I would need an early check-in from an overnight flight and had already noted that in my profile. The lobby is sophisticated and the food is upscale. There are lots of more casual eateries right around the corner if you prefer. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. Bedding is nice and the bathroom is roomy. My favorite amenity is the US electric plug outlet at the desk!
