Best Western Plus Vauxhall Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to the Best Western Plus Vauxhall Hotel on Old South Lambeth Road, you immediately notice it’s not your typical chain property. This four-star hotel actually has some character to it — the building has this solid, reassuring presence that makes you feel like you’ve made a smart choice. The entrance is welcoming without being flashy, and honestly, that’s exactly what you want when you’re dragging luggage through London after a long travel day. The location strikes an excellent balance between accessibility and tranquility.

Location That Actually Works

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re in Vauxhall, which means you’re close enough to central London without paying those insane Zone 1 prices. The Vauxhall tube station is just a short walk away, and from there you can reach Westminster in about 10 minutes or the West End in 15. What really surprised me is how much couples seem to love this area (they rate it 8.7, which is pretty impressive), and I get why. There’s something about being slightly removed from the tourist chaos while still having easy access to everything that just works. The neighborhood offers genuine character beyond typical tourist attractions.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was genuinely comfortable — not trying to be trendy, just well-designed and functional. The beds are proper comfortable, which you know matters when you’re walking 20,000 steps a day around London. What I appreciated most was the attention to details like good lighting for reading and enough outlets near the bed (seriously, why don’t more hotels get this right?). The bathrooms are modern and spacious enough that you’re not bumping into everything when you’re getting ready. Every element serves a practical purpose.

Practical Perks

One thing that sets this place apart is the private parking — and if you’ve ever tried to park in London, you’ll understand why this is basically like finding gold. Most visitors won’t need it since the public transport connections are so good, but it’s reassuring to know it’s there. The staff genuinely seem to care about making your stay work, and they’re the kind of helpful where they actually know the neighborhood well enough to give you real recommendations, not just the obvious tourist spots. Their local knowledge proves invaluable for guests exploring the area.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back here is that it strikes this perfect balance — professional enough that business travelers feel comfortable, but relaxed enough that you’re not walking on eggshells. The 7.5 rating reflects exactly what this hotel is: solidly good without any major surprises, positive or negative. You know what you’re getting, and what you’re getting is a well-run hotel in a smart location that doesn’t try to be something it’s not. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need in a city like London where everything else is competing for your attention. This hotel delivers consistent quality and reliability.

Reviews of Best Western Plus Vauxhall Hotel

  • Hollins from United States (8/10)

    We enjoyed the location of this hotel and the service we received. We were only there for 2 nights but it was the perfect location with easy access to all of the "must dos and sees". The parking garage suggested to us was an easy 1/2 mile or less walk. We did not need the car again until we were leaving to head to Glasgow. The hotel was beautifully accommodated and I would highly recommend it. I pray we get a chance to come back and stay for a time longer. This hotel will definitely be our choice.
