The one-and-a-half-pearl Victoria Station Hotel is a good pick for travelers who want to be within walking distance of major attractions, such as Buckingham Palace and Big Ben, without breaking the bank. The 22 rooms are basic to the point of feeling barren and lack air-conditioning -- although fans are provided -- and some have shared bathrooms. Breakfast is included in the rate, as is Wi-Fi when guests book directly with the hotel. There's seating across from the reception desk but no large public spaces. The hotel can get noisy, and past guests have complained about subpar housekeeping. Days Hotel London-Waterloo, which has a restaurant, bar, and more up-to-date rooms, is a good alternative with similar rates.
