"Cheap chic is the essence of this sophisticated B&B near Victoria, where few rooms make for highly personalized service."
B&B Belgravia
By Angela Moore
This is a relaxed and friendly little place which offers more facilities than usual for a B&B and represents excellent value for money. Downstairs, there’s a small sitting room with a few easy chairs, a laptop in a nook offering free internet access and complimentary tea and coffee – proper coffee, which you make using a very professional-looking machine. Décor is contemporary but low-key and comfortable – a step up from Ikea. The breakfast room is connected to the sitting room and hearty breakfasts, which are included in the rate, are cooked to order before your eyes in the attached kitchen – a level of service that many larger establishments just can’t seem to offer. Stairs lead out to a small gravelled garden at the back of the house, where you can sit with a drink on summer afternoons or have breakfast on a sunny morning. There’s a shelf of books to borrow and a variety of newspapers are delivered every day. Staff are friendly and approachable and feel like a family. It all adds up to a place where you can really enjoy being, a great base for a stay in London.
The rooms
The house offers 17 rooms, including a few interconnecting rooms to accommodate families. Rooms are on the small side but are by no means tiny and a sense of space is added by high ceilings. Perfectionists will find occasional and slight signs of wear and tear in paintwork and finish but the rooms are immaculate where it really counts – crisp white linens and towels; high-quality, comfortable beds; sleek flatscreen tvs with 12 free channels. Bathrooms have either a shower cubicle or a tub and overhead power shower. They vary in size with the smallest only big enough to hold one person at a time. Ebury Street is one-way and generally fairly quiet by London standards but those bothered by street noise should ask for a room at the back of the house.
The verdict
Amazing value for money, the B&B Belgravia proves that you can offer high comfort levels and friendly, professional service without breaking the bank. Thoroughly recommended.
