I love the UK and been traveling for 40 years. Decided to bring my wife and daughter this time. Victoria Inn wins worst experience ever. From the rude check in experience to the strong chemical smell to the cracker sized pillows, it was horrible. Even though we paid for three nights, we escaped after two.
All of us felt terrible after a night and I was having trouble breathing. Thought I was catching a bad cold. We made it through one more night before we had to evacuate. It made us all sick.
The room for three would have been small for two. They just threw another bed in w no walking room or room for luggage.
We ended up putting towels under the pillows, just to have some support, as they had no extras. Two days out of the hotel, we’re all feeling and breathing better. It was truly creepy. Never a smile from the staff, just a glare when we came and left.
We had changed hotels from the wonderful experience at Mercure London Bridge, as they couldn’t accommodate the whole stay.
I’ve stayed at a few shady places, but this is my first bad review of any hotel, and the Victoria Inn finally inspired my debut.
