Windermere Hotel

Windermere Hotel Review

This sweet and rather elegant old hotel, on the premises of London's first B&B (in 1881), is a decent, well-located option—but only if you can't get a discount rate at a plusher hotel for the same price. It's a cheery little place, with comfortable (if small) bedrooms, in which muted modern color schemes clash only slightly with the kind of floral fabrics your grandmother would love. The restaurant serves decent but unimaginative British and European cuisine; however, you're just a couple of blocks from London's Victoria train station and the multitude of eateries close by.
