We booked two rooms - a double and a single for our family.

My husband and I stayed in Room 8. There was a small open shelf behind the door with about five hangers and some shelves which we used for our coats and sweaters as well as a skinny built-in shelf next to the bed which I used to stash my shoes and clothes. My husband lived out of his suitcase. There was a nightstand with water kettle, instant coffee, tea bags, sugar and creamer as well as the daily replenished fruit basket with clementines, apples, bananas, granola bars and juice drinks. Two coffee cups and drinking glasses were also provided. Honestly, the room was not as small as I had expected. The bed was pushed against the wall so there was sufficient space to walk around the bed at the foot and side. There was also a small corner shelf provided for the person who slept next to the wall. There was a large window which opened onto Hugh Mews (very picturesque) - we had to turn down the heat and open the window a bit because we prefer to be cooler while we sleep. The bathroom was tiny but manageable. You could rest your foot on the shower edge while sitting on the toilet but it was very clean. Behind the toilet there was a large cabinet we used to store our toiletries. My husband grabbed a folding chair from the hallway to use as a place to sit on those mornings when he got up early and did not want to disturb me.

Our son stayed in Room 10 which was a single on the top floor. He had a bit more floor space in his room and his bathroom was larger with a corner glass shower (ours was square with a curtain). He didn't have any shelf space but there were some hooks with hangers which he didn't use - his things stayed mainly in and around his suitcase. He also had a window with the same view as us - his room was directly above ours. He also opened his window - the room was a bit warm but you could control the radiator - I think being on the top floor added to the warmth. He also was given a breakfast basket with one of everything.

In both rooms the tv was mounted on the wall and there was a good selection of channels. Our rooms were cleaned daily with fresh towels provided. Mrs. Patel is very pleasant to deal with - all of our initial contact was by e-mail, very efficient. We used their computer in the lobby to catch up on e-mails and they did a large bag of laundry for us for 20 pounds (dropped off in the morning and it was in our room when we returned that evening). There was a coffee shop on the corner where my husband walked each morning to get us coffee and a pub just opposite where we had dinner the first night. There is a small grocery store right in Victoria Station where you can get drinks and snacks.

We normally rent a flat while in London but our time here was short on this trip and we opted for a hotel. No regrets here - we would recommend Cherry Court Hotel to anyone wishing to stay in a clean, quiet and friendly hotel. We paid 50 pounds per night for the single and 60 pounds per night for the double. A bargain for being this central - Victoria station is right around the corner.
