It's really cute and in a nice, safe neighborhood. It's a bunch of homes that they bought up and converted into a B&B, so it's definitely a little quaint, but still very charming.
It's only a couple blocks away from Victoria Station, a block away from the post office and down the street from some really cute cafes and a cupcake shop.
The staff is nice and very accommodating. There's complementary breakfast in the morning and I really like that there's a laptop in the lounge for the guests to use for free. Made it very easy to check-in for my departing flight!
The only problem that I really had was with one employee. I think his name was Asim. I only stayed at the hotel for a few days, and by the second, he said to the friend I was traveling with that he noticed I never come down for breakfast. She told him it's because I'm a late sleeper. Maybe half an hour later he came up to my room and asked if there was anything he could bring up for me. At first I thought this was just the B&B trying to take care of its guests, but when he kept lingering and insisting after I told him, "No, thank you," multiple times, I got very uncomfortable, especially since I was up in my room alone. He then asked me what I was doing for that day and then asked me if I wanted to get coffee with him. I told him no thank you and eventually he left and I was able to continue getting ready for my day.
And as if that weren't enough, I ended up running into him on Oxford Street the next day. Part of me went into a bit of mental panic, wondering if he was following me, unlikely as that was. He greeted me loudly and gave me a hug. VERY inappropriate, seeing as I was a guest at the hotel he worked at and he was still essentially a stranger. Once again, he asked me what I was doing and if I wanted to get coffee. I again declined, lifted my shopping bags and told him that I was actually on my way out of the area (luckily this was true.). He said, "I was thinking we could get coffee or something," a few more times until I managed to break the conversation enough to leave.
I've never before experienced such creepy and inappropriate behavior from hotel staff in my life. However, I still want to stress that everyone else at B&B Belgravia was professional, helpful and kind. Even though I enjoyed my stay there, for the most part, I wouldn't go back again unless I knew that man didn't work there anymore.
