The hosts are charming and the breakfast was good. The rooms, however, need some updating. The matresses felt like they'd been around since the War (very uncomfortable) and the plumbing and toilet/shower rooms left a lot to be desired. More

The location of the Cartref house is great, it is in a convienent location to the Victoria Coach as well as a short walk to the Victoria Train Station. We stayed for 6 nights and for the 3 of us it was a bit tight. I would rethink staying longer than a couple of nights if you have more than... More

We spent three nights at the Cartref House. The room was nicely decorated and very clean. The bathroom was small, but we managed just fine. The very friendly and helpful staff served a lovely English breakfast. The location is excellent providing convenient access to everything one needs. Thanks to Rick Steves (2012) for the recommendation. Cartref House certainly did not... More

Cartref House is close to the Westminster area, Victoria train/underground station, and Victoria Coach Station (which was great for me because I ended up using National Express coaches quite a bit). The rooms are small but perfectly adequate, the beds are comfortable, and the area was safe and convenient. I stayed in two different rooms at Cartref House; the first... More

We found the room easily large enough for the four of us, and the bathroom was small but definitely adequate for our needs. The neighborhood that the hotel was in was... More

We have stayed in the Cartref House many times over the years, it is the best location possible, just a five minute walk to Victoria station. The owners are as nice as can be, rooms are small, but clean and quiet. Good restaurants in the area. Because of the proximity to the station it is easy to get to the... More

We booked here based on Rick Steves reccomendation and were not disappointed. The location is terrific and the price was a great value. We had a family suite with bathroom (yes it was a small bathroom but this is Europe folks!!). The full English breakfast was good and included in price. Service from Derek and family was also very nice.... More

I stayed here for two separate nights in December 2011. The rooms were very comfortable, the hosts were very helpful. Great neighborhood! I am looking forward to a return trip. More

Very friendly hosts. If you're unsure what you might do during the day, Derek will have suggestions for you and tips to get the most out of your stay. Excellent breakfasts. Convenient location to Victoria station (coach, train, underground). Room was comfortable. More
