"A clean and secure hostel in a great location. The privacy was very good, and the nests had enough space for personal belongings and storage. The soundproofing was also excellent, so you could hardly hear other guests. Overall, definitely worth the money and a great option for staying in Soho."

"Lovely staff we came across; check in staff, concierge, luggage facilities. The check in staff were particularly helpful and upgraded us to a studio room. The bed was really comfortable, the room quiet with excellent amenities. When we checked out the member of staff was particularly helpful looking to see if a travel card I had lost had been recorded as found on the system or in the back office. The night staff were more dismissive. Will definitely return."

"Really small room with three walls around the bed and no chairs as the open space was not big enough. Good selection of teas and coffee in the room. Excellent size and quality TV and modern controls for lights and the electric blind. The bathroom was a decent size, clean and had a good hot shower. The room was next to the aircon compressor on the roof, so was a little noisy especially if you wanted some fresh air and opened the window. Location was great, right next to the National Portrait Gallery which we were visiting the next day. Staff were very helpful and welcoming and breakfast was nice with a reasonable selection of omelette, toast, croissants, etc."

"This was our second time staying at the Victory Hotel Leicester Square London and it certainly won’t be our last. We live up in Derbyshire but love going to London at least once a year to see a show and enjoy the city so we have stayed at a fair many London Hotels. This is the only one I have returned to and I hope to continue to revisit. The staff are always lovely and accommodating, the rooms are air conditioned, have wonderful beds and pillows (something we can be fussy about), and the bathrooms are well stocked for convenience. It is the perfect location for London, just a teeny walk to a tube, right in the thick of it for Chinatown, Soho, and many theatres and restaurants. I am very much looking forward to our next stay sometime in the future. Thank you to all the lovely staff at Victory Hotel for always making our stay enjoyable and safe."
