What guests think

Travellers describe The Griffin Belle Hotel Vauxhall as a friendly pub-with-rooms in a convenient Vauxhall/Nine Elms location, handy for the US Embassy and transport links, with clean, comfortable rooms and a lively bar creating a welcoming base for city visits.

Common drawbacks are compact rooms, no elevator with steep stairs, and no air conditioning, which can make upper-floor rooms hot; some guests also note thin walls and limited ventilation. Service is consistently warm and accommodating, with welcome drinks and helpful staff frequently praised. Breakfast and pub meals are usually enjoyable though quality can vary, and a few reports mention cleanliness lapses or patchy in-room Wi‑Fi. Best suited to short stays for travellers comfortable with pub‑style lodging.

Was a good stay overall. Unfortunatley the weather was very hot and as there is no AC the room was extremly warm for one of the nights. Other than that it's a nice wee hotel. Michelle was a great hostess and obviously works very hard to ensure all her customers are looked after. All the staff were very friendly. Good location for getting about London and for us it was very handy for Wimbeldon.

Very comfortable room, good options for breakfast, great friendly staff and ideally located for the centre of London as it’s just around the corner from Nine Elms tube station. Only downside is the stairs to the rooms, it’s an old building and the stairs are steep, which if you struggle with mobility could be a problem but for most people it’s fine. Having said that, we would definitely stay here again the next time we are in London

Found this lovely little hotel at the last minute and was pleasantly surprised. Great location and a good value, it also had some personality and the convenience of the pub downstairs for breakfast and grabbing a drink or meal. Not too noisy despite that; the main inconvenience was carrying my bag up some narrow stairs since there is no lift. I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a nice stay in London

Staff is really lovely, and inclusive breakfast a bonus. The rooms are kept clean, tidy and a little quirky. The mattress showed a bit of use - and shower drain a bit smelly. If you’re looking for a quiet pub hotel - this isn’t it. There is double glazing which helps. Easy walk from Vauxhall.

The room cleanliness was greatly lacking - the bed throw and cushions were heavily stained, and the carpets needed a thorough vacuum. The room was extremely warm despite the radiator being off; the fan provided just circulated warm air, and we were unable to open the window. There were four bottles of conditioner but no hand soap or shower gel, and none arrived even though we had asked for some. We booked this room based on the excellent reviews, particularly rating the cleanliness, however we feel it was poor value for money and would definitely not stay again, nor recommend to others.

The manager Cas was really nice. He gave us a complimentary drink when I arrived, and since the wifi wasn’t working in the room, and I had to come to the restaurant/pub in the hotel to get wifi he offered me a free drink. He really tried to get the wifi working in the room, but it never worked. He was very apologetic. The bathroom was very nice, and the bed was very comfortable. I had requested 2 twin beds but they gave us a king sized bed. The food in the restaurant was pretty good., There’s no elevator.

The room we stayed in was way too small, I know it's classed as a small double but this was ridiculous. It's definitely a single room with a small double bed in. You couldn't move around the bed without shuffling sideways. No room for the suitcase, had to open on the bed to get things out. Hardly any room to put belongings without walking into them or knocking stuff over. Also the bathroom, no where to even put our toothbrushes or anything, we could sit on the toilet and brush our teeth at the same time the sink was that close to you, you had to be careful sitting on the loo if you bent forward in the slightest you'd bang your head on the sink. Also the breakfast, everything on the plate was only slightly warm !! The food should be probed before serving because the whole breakfast was honestly near on cold.. chef need's to up his game !!! Very disappointed with what we got for the price we paid. I've never stayed in a room so small and cramped and we travel often 👎👎👎

The hotel's proximity to public transport (Nine Elms and Vauxhall) was advantageous. The room was adequately sized and clean; the king-size bed was comfortable, though the single bed was not. Breakfast was substantial and satisfying. Michelle provided excellent and attentive service. However, I wish to bring two matters to the owner's attention. The lack of an operable window resulted in poor air circulation. Secondly, while acknowledging the building's age, the provision of portable air conditioning units in each room is recommended, as the existing fans are insufficient. Despite these issues, I would recommend this hotel.

Thank you Griffin Belle!

Our room was 2 floors above a very nice pub. Staff was very helpful in hauling our luggage upstairs to a room with rather unique decor. Food was great, plus there was a fantastic Indian restaurant nearby. Hotel was within walking distance of the Vauxhill train station (which we used for arriving from out of town) and the Nine Elm Tube Station, perfect for getting around London.

A great place to stay if you want to be near central London. It's a pub with rooms above it but it was not noisy in my room. My room was not large but it wasn't a problem.

A very pleasant stay at a lovely little pub in an oasis of old Vauxhall surrounded by the modern high rise buildings. As I had an appointment at the USA Embassy it was very conveniently positioned, no more than 10 minutes walk away from both the Embassy and the mainline railway station. Lovely helpful and pleasant staff, if I visit Vauxhall again I will choose to stay here.

After a super-easy journey and a very short walk from Vauxhall underground station, from the moment I stepped into the building, I was made to feel very welcome. Mark warmly greeted me and took time to speak with me and help with planning my movement around London. He saved me a lot of time and effort, applying his local knowledge. With two stations under 10mins walk, an excellent breakfast selection, a well stocked bar, a very clean room and the most polite and friendly staff, I'll definitely take every opportunity to stay at the Griffin Belle Hotel again.

It was all OK, biggest issue was the room which was situated next to the front of the pub right next to the metal sign which creaked and moaned all night. The neon sign also was never switched off and created light in room around the poorly fitted curtains. Breakfast was poor and edible mushroom.

This is a pub with sports bar that rents out room as a hotel. We were offered a welcome drink which was lovely. The bed was huge which was lovely but the pillows need to be replaced, they were uncomfortable. The room was on the small side but we have stayed In smaller. The room and bathroom were clean and had everything that you need. Breakfast starts at 7.30 but we asked if we could have it a bit earlier as we were going to the US embassy but this was declined. Breakfast was ‘ok’ the poached eggs were hard though and the scrambled eggs were dry, the toast was nice but needs cooking all the way round. Would we stay again? Probably but not bother with the breakfast.
