Staybridge Suites London-Vauxhall, an IHG Hotel

Staybridge Suites London-Vauxhall, an IHG Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Staybridge Suites London-Vauxhall, an IHG Hotel feels refreshingly different from your typical four-star London hotel. This isn’t some stuffy Victorian conversion — it’s modern, clean-lined, and honestly feels more like upscale serviced apartments than a traditional hotel. The lobby has that crisp, contemporary vibe that immediately tells you this place knows what business travelers and extended-stay guests actually want.

Location & Getting Around

You know what’s brilliant about this spot? You’re right in Vauxhall, which means you’re close enough to central London without paying those insane Zone 1 prices. Vauxhall station is practically next door — I mean, it’s maybe a three-minute walk — and from there you can be at Victoria in five minutes or Waterloo in two. The area’s got this interesting mix of new developments and local pubs, plus you’re walking distance to the Thames Path if you fancy a riverside stroll. Couples seem to get this location thing right away, which makes sense when you see how easy it is to hop around the city.

The Suites

Here’s where this place really shines — every room is actually a suite with a proper kitchenette. We’re talking full-size fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and enough counter space to actually prepare meals if you want to skip eating out every night. The living area feels spacious (well, by London standards anyway), and the beds are genuinely comfortable — not just hotel marketing comfortable, but the kind where you actually sleep well. The bathrooms are modern and well-designed, though nothing fancy. It’s all very practical and thoughtfully laid out.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast setup here is pretty solid — they do a proper buffet with continental options, plus they’ve clearly thought about dietary requirements with vegetarian and gluten-free choices. It’s served in a bright, airy space that doesn’t feel cramped even when it’s busy. What I really appreciate is that because you’ve got that kitchenette, you’re not tied to hotel dining if you don’t want to be. There’s a Sainsbury’s Local nearby, and the area has some decent restaurant options if you want to explore.

Why Guests Love It

This hotel just works for so many different types of stays. Business travelers love the space and the fact that you can actually live here for a week without going stir-crazy. Couples appreciate the location and the ability to have a proper coffee in the morning without hunting for a café. Families get the extra space and the option to keep snacks and drinks handy. The staff seem to understand that people staying here often need practical help rather than just polite service. Plus, there’s parking available, which in London is basically like finding gold. It’s not the flashiest hotel you’ll ever stay in, but it’s the kind of place that makes you think “yeah, I’d definitely come back here.”
