We stayed the week between Christmas and New Years-- what a fantastic BandB. The staff was helpful, kind and so knowledgable. The breakfast was PERFECT ever morning is was fantastic. The rooms were cozy and very comfortable with a electric tea kettle and assortment of teas. My husband and I loved every minute we stayed at the Lime Tree. You simply could not find a better location to tour London. We will always make plans to stay at the Lime Tree when we are in London!

Nice hotel, good location, friendly staff, will stay again

We really liked staying at the Lime Tree hotel. The best things about it are it's fantastic location, helpful staff, and lovely ambience. We had a spacious superior room facing the back so it was quiet and very comfortable. As expected, the bathroom was tiny but modern and well equipped.

The only disappointing thing thing was breakfast although the breakfast room is lovely. Breakfast start with an offering of morsels of freshly baked bread from a basket. This is indeed a most curious thing.......the only other bread we got was hard, thin toast. Why tempt and then not deliver - in fact under-deliver with really bad bread? They also seem to be economising by trying to get guests to choose from the 'continental' breakfast with the hard, thin toast and small rationed portions of fruit, cereal etc OR the 'English' breakfast which was standard eggs, bacon etc. The choice of mushrooms or tomatoes supposedly changed daily but there were only tomatoes when we were there.

Better breakfasts would really make the Lime Tree an all round winner!

We looked for a hotel in a central location, to spend 2 days in London before we'd get back home. Our only demands were 24 hours front desk and such a location that we could go walking to Buckingham Palace, Hide Park, Trafalgar Square or Harrods, yet we could get back late night safely. We decide stay in the Lime Tree Hotel for the good reviews. The hotel is located between Victoria Station and Sloane Square (both stations are at the same distance). If you have to take the tube anyway is recomended get to Sloane Square because is a less busy and more pleasant station. There's a bus stop around the corner, but anyway, most of the London atractions are walking distance (less than 1.5 miles away), for example Buckingham Palace is about 0.7 mile away, and there we can go to Green Park, Trafalgar Square, etc. The area around (Belgravia) is one the most expensive London neighborhoods and yet quiet and walkable like a provincial town. The hotel is small but clean and well run. It has a nice common area with couch and armchair, with some magazines and newspapers available to the guests. We stayed in a ground floor room, which seemed cosy (the wallpapers, the bedcover), clean and pleasant, with a door to the inner patio. The staff were very friendly, since the doorkeeper to the owner. Excelent service. We would go back again.
