Wonderful place to stay and so central. The Club is immaculately clean and well equipped. The staff are so helpful and pleasant and the breakfast selection is amazing. We are members and have stayed a few times and had a great experience each time. Well done Victory you do a really good job and we will be back.
I use to work here and was nice the time I was there
One could call it a home away from home, but that would be a disservice to the club. The staff is wonderful! The atmosphere is great. I truly look forward to my next stay in the not too distant future. This old soldier was feeling like royalty.
Great breakfast buffet, lots of choices. Attentive, well trained serving staff. Elegant, refined place - yob free zone! You must be a member or be with a member to get in. If you or your family are of have been in the armed forces you can More
Having spent this week staying at the VSC I can report that safety is front and foremost and the service exceeded expectations.
A private club with membership restricted to serving and former Commonwealth military. Both officers and other ranks welcome.
Our double en-suite was modern, bright, air conditioned, offered good free wifi and, importantly, was very quiet. (I understand some rooms adjoining Edgeware Road can suffer from traffic noise).
One thing I found noteworthy was that the bedroom was fitted with eight power points (in addition to those used for fittings such as bedside lights,TV). In most hotel bedrooms you are struggling to find spare power points to plug in your laptop, phone and camera chargers. I know, don't tell me ... first world problems .
On the downside: no fridge or safe in the room, though ice is available from the bar (when open) and valuables can be lodged in a safety deposit box with the duty manager. A major downside for us was the room was rather small - perfectly OK for those spending a couple of nights in town, but we were here for 12 days on a segment of a long tour and were encumbered by 4 large suitcases we were trekking around the world. Secondly, as we had already been on the road for a month and a half, I was disappointed there were no washing machines for guest use. Yes, there is a laundrette about 2 blocks away, but if you research it, you wouldn't go near the place,
The only meals we had here were breakfasts: offering a most varied buffet. Unfortunately some of the hot dishes were over cooked and had sat in the bain marie for too long. Good quality nevertheless.
The bar area is large, but somewhat sterile and also noisy due to the accoustics - hardly cosy.
Perhaps the major plus of the Membership is the high quality of all staff, both back office (Membership and Reservations) and front of house. (The bar and concierge staff deserve especial mention).
I am now faced with a quandary for our next visit to London: VSC for its location, excellent staff and ease of access: or Union Jack Club, for its washing machines, slightly better breakfasts, but more difficult access for those with mobility problems? A difficult choice awaits.
Always an enjoyable experience staying at the victory service club. Brilliantly situated. Good tooms and breakfasts.
Lovely bright, clean, comfortable hotel. Great food and lovely staff, only thing that let it down was the heating...fat, far too warm.
Good attentive service when we held a drinks reception here
Very good place to stay right in the middle of London
Very professional staff fab food lovely place to stay whilst in the London
Really good place to stay when visiting London. Easy access to anywhere you want or need to visit - theatre, shops, sights, attractions etc.
Very nice rooms and very reasonable rates. Staff is amazing! Food and drink fairly expensive.
Bad stressed personal, they don't pay me 2,5 h I was working there. discasting liars.
I really enjoyed my stay (March 2018). The staff were brilliant. The rooms were comfortable with excellent beds. They couldn't do enough to help me throughout. The restaurant was good with a reasonable menu. Loved it.
This is a great place, an escape for ex service people and their families in the heart of London
Excellent value for serving personnel and veterans.
Great place, location is just right, accommodation splendid, food great. Staff helpful and friendly, what more do you want?
Location is fantastic, staff friendly and efficient, accommodation just what you need at a high standard.
Lovely club but they never have any rooms available! What's the point of offering rooms if three weeks in advance you don't have any!!!!!
Great place for veterans and serving personal to stay in London at a reasonable price. Best breakfast in London by far! Members only.
Great food and so we'll set up for social distancing and being safe
You certainly can't beat the location! Right on the outskirts of the Congestion zone, we were able to park the car at the nearby (5 min walk) garage and have our ticket validated at the front desk for half price. The rooms in which we stayed (we have two daughters) were not yet upgraded, so no Air Conditioner and no phone and it had a very small bathroom with only a tub - no shower. With that said, the accommodations were certainly adequate and the breakfast in the morning (make sure your room rate includes this) was superb! Once the larger "family" rooms are upgraded, I can certainly see giving the VSC 4 or 5 stars. By the way, the concierge was fantastic, as were the desk attendants. The second night we were in London, we simply stayed out in Stratford at the Holiday Inn Express for half the price, a decent breakfast (certainly no lack of food there either), and good bus/tube access to downtown.
Excellent value for money in terms of accommodation. Rooms spotlessly clean with a variety of non and ensuite. 4 stars as split lifts made travel to top floor difficult. Meals a la cart and delicious but to a limited menu and quite pricey. Breakfast I could not fault. Magnificent views!
I was lucky enough to be invited here by a member. For central London the prices are amazing; the rooms are of exceptionally high standard and there is good security too, important when you're a woman traveller.
Great place to stay or eat in London quite close to most attractions and the service is amazing - always achance you will bump in to an old Oppo in the bar too. Great value (free if you are serving) and less stuffy than many London clubs - what's not to like
A sanctuary in the heart of London, fresh and modern, rooms a light and airy and clean with air conditioning. Friendly and welcoming staff. Only thing I found that could be improved the pillows need replacement as they had seen their day. Thank you for a very enjoyable weekend.

Stayed in victory Hotel, great room.
and the breakfast was excellent, served by a polite young lady Josephina
Always a great place to visit. Staff are very friendly and welcoming, rooms are very clean and comfortable too. The bar and restaurant areas are modern, comfortable and well maintained. Overall, a fantastic place to stay that s only a short walk from Oxford Street and Hyde Park.
If you are a member of this establishment then you will be treated absolutely fantastic this establishment is for ex-servicemen man or female army Navy and any other types of of government bodies
Excellent good location friendly staff clean and tidy
Really well located, especially for some very nice restaurants, links to the underground or Piccadilly or the park just to the south. The rooms have always been very clean and perfect for a short stay in London. Breakfast was good as well.
A hidden gem of a location, good for business conferences.
Was here for a ACFE Conference. Facilities very good.
Spotlessly clean, first class restaurant, ideal central London location, well managed with friendly staff.
Was there for 'a do' looked after very well, staff happy to help, nothing too much trouble
A members-only armed services club for serving or veterans or their immediate family. Unpretentious but still refined. Excellent prices for food and accommodation and the location is superb. Near Marble Arch.
As a retired American veteran, my wife and I were greeted and treated with extreme kindness and professionalism. Their accommodations (with Air conditioning) and prices were extremely outstanding, especially in the center of London. Their location is great for a nice walk to Hyde Park and Kensington Palace; with Buckingham Palace a bit future away.
Had some time to kill and went to do some work. Confused over alternative to Reading Room during refurbishment which meant working in ante room to bar, which was fine but could have done without running around. Had lunch, very good beef baguette but London prices so don't expect lower prices here.
Services Club. Excellent in all respects. Cuisine superb.
Good value city centre accommodation, but a fair amount of odd balls about the place. If you are in the bar be prepared for some tasty chat about the Holocaust, Stalin, the Jews, A-rabs, the amount of white faces visible outside or similar. Other than that, decent.
Fantastic break, it is the staff that really make the difference, they are truly exceptional
best kept secret in London
Excellent value for money
Lovely place to stay and food is really nice. Staff is friendly and helpful
Excellent staff. Excellent cooking too. Chef is a star.
Wonderful lunch in great surroundings and brilliant staff at a very reasonable price.
One of London's secret gems. Great food, drinks and accomodation all at a wonderful location. If you are able to become a member (serving, ex serving or spouse, or son/daughter of ex serving) then do. See their website for details.
Great hotel, friendly staff, clean rooms, great breakfast
Friendly staff, well appointed rooms, good location and great value. More up to date than the Union Jack Club, air con in the room was great for the summer heat. I would definately recommend staying here with family or friends.
Stayed here 2 nights to attend a very special event at Westminster Abbey 15th of June 18. What a great place. Can't fault it. If walking is a bother stay 3rd floor or below. Wonderful food, good bar, kind & faultless staff. Pricey but I'm definitely returning.
Fantastic club. Try to stay here as much as possible.
Professionally managed club, very friendly staff, wonderful food
Joined last summer and visited for the first time yesterday. Very warm welcome and impressed from the moment I walked in. Helpful staff from reception to the barman to the restaurant staff.
Great facilities.
Ate in the restaurant and the menu was good, as were the prices.
Very nicely presented and tasted great.
I'd recommend anyone to give the place a try.
Excellent hotel. Lovely staff. Very clean rooms. Superb food. Real "Home from Home"
Great atmosphere, good food, good situation and affordable as well!
Superb restaurant and accomodation if you are in the military. ID card will get you in.
My wife and I stayed at the VSC about a month ago and had a great time.
Excellent room and the breakfasts were 5* quality .
Staff friendly and extremely helpful
Looking forward to our next visit

A great place to meet people, good food, good bar. Surprisingly grand! Given the location I think this must represent the best value bar in London!
