Loved by The Melita Hotel guests
"Complimentary pastries and Nespresso coffee in lounge a nice touch ."
"It is in a great location for exploring the whole of London with all Victoria Stations only a 10 minute walk away."
"The hotel is located in the beautiful Pimlico district, and I was surprised to feel safe returning to the hotel alone in the evening."
Historic Townhouse Accommodation
The Melita occupies two 19th-century townhouses on a quiet street in Pimlico. Rooms range from compact singles to family quarters sleeping four, with private bathrooms featuring mosaic details and walk-in showers. All include WiFi, satellite TV, and linens supplied by the Queen's official outfitter. Superior rooms add contemporary design elements.
Complimentary Morning Offerings
Guests receive takeaway Italian coffees, premium teas, and homemade pastries from 7:30-9:00 in the lounge. Multiple cafes serving full breakfasts are within a 5-minute walk, including O'Sole Mio Italian restaurant adjacent to the property.
Central Westminster Location
The hotel is a 9-minute walk from Victoria Station, with direct Gatwick Express services. Buckingham Palace and Houses of Parliament are 15 minutes on foot. Pimlico Underground Station (Victoria Line) is 5 minutes away, providing access to London's major attractions.
Family-Run Hospitality
Managed by the same family since 1972, the hotel supports local artists through a non-profit initiative displaying rotating artwork. Staff can arrange theater tickets and sightseeing tours. Luggage storage is available before check-in (15:00) and after checkout (10:30).
Transportation Connections
Heathrow Airport is reachable via the Piccadilly Line (50 minutes) or Heathrow Express (15 minutes to Paddington). Gatwick trains arrive at Victoria Station in 30 minutes. Taxis to central London landmarks cost £10-£20. Free on-street parking is available evenings and weekends.
“The hotel's location in Pimlico offers a secure and beautiful base for exploring London. While some rooms present space and noise challenges, the property distinguishes itself with friendly service and complimentary morning refreshments. Its blend of historic charm and modern amenities appeals especially to business travelers seeking a convenient and quiet retreat.”

helpful staffmorning coffeebag storagesmall roomtiny windowaircraft engine
the staff at reception was so cute. they were super helpful with directions. the pastries and coffee in the morning were a really nice touch. i was also able to leave my bag after check out.
my room was small. i could not pull the chair out from the desk. the window was tiny, and the air circulation was poor. the fan provided sounded like an aircraft engine, so i didn't sleep well.
