The five-floor Sidney Hotel has 80 rooms on Belgrave Road, midway between Victoria Station and the Pimlico Tube Station. The Sidney, which has that unmistakable, streamlined chain hotel feel, offers singles and doubles on up through five-bed family rooms. All are en suite, and the bathrooms are clean. Rooms have cheerful blue-and-yellow patterned bedspreads, fresh blue carpets, and basic maple-hued furnishings. Everything feels fresh and new, even if lacking in the charm and personality department.
There's a lounge and bar area with sleek flat-panel televisions. Breakfast is served buffet style.

About the Sidney London - Victoria neighborhood
Though not an aesthetically pleasing neighborhood, the area near Victoria Station, which comprises parts of Westminster and Pimlico, is undeniably convenient. Aside from its proximity to Victoria, Buckingham Palace and the lovely grounds of St. James's Park are just up the street and Westminster Abbey is but a short Tube ride away. Be warned: there are countless hotels lining Belgrave Road and its peripheries lacking in the charm department. These vary wildly in size, quality, and nightly rate. This is one neighborhood where it more than pays to do your homework. Those staying in London for more than a few days might want to look elsewhere, for charm if nothing else.
