Our original room was a disappointment and did not match the photos but the reception staff were able to find us a better option that saved our visit. Comfortable bed and nice en-suite as well as cheerful and helpful bell staff made it an enjoyable stay.
The hotel is in a great location in a quiet area but only a short 10-15 minute walk to central London locations. Our room had everything we needed, felt comfortable and clean.
We recently wrapped up a 2 nights stay at the Wellington Blue Orchid. We had a wonderful experience from check in until check out. The hotel was clean, quiet, and in a great location. The metro was a brief 10 minute walk and there were plenty of restaurants in walking distance. We would 100% recommend and would stay again.
