Chelsea Guest House

What was good

Its a very good area and as a woman travelling alone this made me feel very safe which is very important to me. Reception is just a phone call away at all times. There are loads of buses just yards away and a 10 minute walk to underground and 2 minutes to overground. There's a convenience store over the road and Tesco Express 5 minutes away. Every takeaway you can imagine close by and delivery to hotel is allowed. Plus lots of restaurants and coffee shops. Because of Covid I didn't want to use public transport and walked to Tate Modern, Westminster Abbey, Tate Britain, British Museum, British Library, Saatchi Gallery and V&A. Often via the beautiful Embankment and different Thames bridges between 40 mins and and hour or so. I was in a room in the basement but had two lovely big windows that opened wide onto a bright courtyard. The room was freshly painted all white and a beautifully comfortable bed with white linen and a white tiled en suite. It is very clean and cool and a good size. It is next to a McDonalds but there is a big wall between you and I barely heard a thing and definitely no odour. The room and hotel are very clean. The manager Karolis, is very professional and a genuinely lovely man. He made me very welcome and was very helpful and kind. Reception can be contacted at all times.

What was bad

This is a very reasonably priced hotel and far exceeded my expectations so I really like everything.
