It was a very nice hotel and situated perfect in the Bayswater area. Near subway and Paddington Station. The staff was very friendly and helpful. A bit noisy and "thin" walls was the only "minus". I will definitely return.

single rooms are VERY small but cosy. I was first offered a very tiny room right behind the elevator shaft with the bed right against the separating wall. the lift isnt noisy but there's a loud voice announcing the floors, so i asked for another room. I got one on the ground floor. Small too but nice and cosy, though the view was inexistant. the problem there was doors banging outside, but it was only in the evening. I slept like a baby. The bathroom was outstanding. Very clean and enjoyable. Breakfast was simple but nice. all in all, good value for money considering it's in a nice area of London with Kensington Gardens a stone's throw away... I would have liked to be informed in advance of the 1.50 pound surcharge when paying by credit card, though...

The hotel is very well run. Rooms are small and basic yet clean and efficiently serviced. Public areas are spacious and comfortable. Staff are courteous and helpful. Breakfasts are very simple but adequate. Location has numerous interesting places to eat and to go shopping, and public transport to all parts of London is easily accessed from the hotel.

It was the first time I stayed at this hotel in August. It's a nice place especially if you want to be close the center(Oxford Street and Hyde Park) There are two underground stations and a bus stop nearby. Although the hotel was in repair at the time of our stay, it was quiet. The staff was friendly. The room and the bathroom were clean and renovated. The only disadvantage was the spaciousness of the room -it was too narrow. As to the breakfast - it's the standard continental breakfast - tea/coffee, cereals and fruit jam. There is also an electric kettle and coffee inside the rooms. All in all I'm satisfied with the stay. London hotels are quite expensive and this hotel offers good service at a reasonable price.

The location is excellent, very close to the underground and the shopping and restaurant area of Queensway. There was some renovation going on so the front was covered with scaffolding, but that is temporary; the back looks onto the rear of Whiteley's shopping centre, so in the mornings we could hear a slight continuous noise from the air conditioning system, but otherwise the place is very quiet. As usual in Britain, floors are made of carpeted wood, so if your upstairs neighbour has a heavy walk you may not be able to sleep. The rooms are really small but not bad, the showers are modern and excellent, the washbasins are so small that you cannot really use them, but the single hot-cold tap is a real innovation, long overdue in England! Breakfast is simple but sufficient, the breakfast room in the basement is a bit like a canteen, as the photo shows, but more than ok. The only other common space is a café. You can leave your luggage extra hours without charge in a locked room. I would certainly recommend this hotel for short stays, and I would choose it again.

Albergo semplice e carino...personale disponibile e buona accoglienza all'arrivo.camere e bagno un pò piccoli ma efficienti...doccia fighissima.pulizia discreta.la colazione buona.posizione ottima....vicino ad entrambe le metropolitane di bayswter e queensway.tre linee a disposizione e bus che portano diretti a piccadilly.dieci minuti a piedi da notting hill.lo consiglio vivamente sia a coppie giovani che famiglie se si vuole una vacanza semplice senza senza troppi lussi.se dovessi tornare lo sceglierei nuovamente.

We had a very nice stay and the room clean,very good...but the room was to small and the brekfast was very poorly.Only bread,marmelade and cerial.Also there was refurnishing going on in the room nextdoor so drilling and hammering was to here all day. But before 8 inthe morning and after 5 it was very nice and quit

The room we stayed in (203)was modest but very clean and comfortable. An extremely quiet area with easy access to Bayswater tube station, shops, Hyde Park and pubs. We stayed here after a concert at Wembley Stadium and it was easy to get there and back on the tube (about 20-30 minutes). Breakfast was very basic but there are many coffee shops / cafes in Bayswater Road around the corner. Highly recommended for a cheap and comfortable stay.

La verdad es que lo recomendaría a aquellos que busquen un hotel en Londres para estar unos días. Como puntos a favor; hay un cuarto para dejar las maletas tanto al llegar como al irse y no hay que preocuparse de que hacer con ellas desde que llegas o hasta que vayas al aeropuerto. Hay dos estaciones de metro muy cerca y un autobus 24 horas que lleva al centro. Zona muy tranquila con supermercado y area comercial al lado. Recepción abierta todo el día. Desayuno incluido (nada del otro mundo). Habitaciones renovadas incluso con tele de pantalla plana. Como puntos negativos; no hay enchufe en el baño por si quereis ver como va el afeitado o el secado de pelo. Si encendeis la luz del baño salta un ventilador que no se apaga con la luz y tarda en desconectarse por lo que puede ser algo incomodo por la noche. Hay que pedir que cambien las toallas que si no las dejan. Las habitaciones estan preparadas para entrar a las 14:00 y hay que dejarlas libres a las 10:30. En resumen, para ir unos días de turismo no necesitas más.

When I booked the room I sent an e-mail to the hotel specifically asking for a twin double room. Unfortunately they never saw the e-mail and never let me know that I was going to stay in a double room. Other than that, London House is a great and quite cheap solution for a decent stay in central London.

Very good hotel for the price. The toilet and shower new and very nice. The only bad thing was the noisy breakfastroom. The location is super on a calm street but near two tube stations, buses, a shopping mall, pubs, restaurants, shops, post office, Hyde Park. All you need.

EVERYTHING WAS OK APART FROM THE FACT THAT AFTER TWO DAYS THEY CHARGED ON MY CREDIT CARD 50£ BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE WERE PILLOW COVERS MISSING FROM MY ROOM AFTER THE CHECK OUT. WHEN I COMPLAINED THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME THE 20% OF THE AMOUNT. I COMPLAINED AGAIN BECAUSE WHEN I LEFT THE ROOM EVERYTHING WAS OK AND I STAYED AT THE INTERNET POINT IN THE HALL OF THE HOTEL FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR (SO THEY COULD HAVE TOLD ME IMMEDIATLY THAT SOMETHING WAS MISSING FROM THE ROOM!. IN THE END THEY REFUNDED THE AMOUNT BUT NOBODY REFUNDED ME FROM WHAT I MISSED IN THE CHANGE FROM £ TO € AND CREDIT CARD EXPENSES FOR THE OPERATION. IN MY OPINION THEY SHOULD HAVE ASKED ME EXPLANATIONS BEFORE CHARGING ME (I'M NOT USED TO BE TREATED AS THIEF!!).WHAT I THINK IS THAT THEY TRIED TO TAKE 50£ FROM MY CREDIT CARD WITH A STUPID EXCUSE. BY THE WAY...THEY DIDN'T EXCUSE FOR THEIR ILLICIT BEHAVIOUR

The best hotel i've ever stayed in London. Beautiful room, 100 mt form the tube, calm place, splendid ensuite toilet for english standards (no plastic on the floor!), good bed, very clean (never seen such clean room before in england), good public rooms, room for luggage when you check out, room for internet connection, very kind people. If i must said something not good, they have only continental breakfast, and they don't change the towels every day, but if you aks they give you fresh ones very promptly, and that's all. i definitely will stay again, and more and more. thanks to all the staff.

The room was very small with barely enough room for our suitcases. However, it was very clean. The staff was excellent and very helpful. There were no washclothes. There were public computers and internet but the service was expensive to use. There was no lift to help us with our heavy suitcases.

The staff was great and the breakfast was good, but the beds we had was absolutely horrible. The matresses were very old and it was like sleeping on rope. We couold feel the springs comming out of the matress. That was bad. We also had bad luck,with our neighbours being a group of young LOAD german guys. Which didn´t help when we were trying to sleep. Otherwise the hotel was very good. They are in the middle of renovaring so there was a bit of noise, but it was never disturbing. We had to share bathrooms with other people. The showers were great, new and all,but the had not renovated the toilets yet. Overall this was an okei stay and this was my second time at this hotel.

I've been here in the easter's week end, everything was ok, we were four, two young couples, we arrived on 1 a.m. and two guys at the reception were waiting for us, they welcomed us in an excellent way and explained us everything. They gave us two close rooms on the second floor and they were pratically perfect, better then the photos on the site, the bathroom was really good, shower and everything else was italian or german brand, so it's an high quality standart, we didn't have to get the tv but we found an lg lcd tv in every room. I would strongle recomend this hotel to relatives and friends and would definitely come back here next time. Bayswater then is very central and the undergound station is just 200 metres away form the hotel. we had a really nice stay.

everything was ok except the very bad welcoming we had from 2 young ladies working there... even when we had a problem they were not helpfull at all, not a smile, nothing !!! (no problem with the other employees) I would recommand it of course because it's such a good price for London and the place is really ok. (un excellent rapport qualité/prix)

London House is a perfect place to go, because it´s well situated (2 min Bayswater station), the rooms are as they tell you in their photos and in general the place is a nice place to go. I´ve been there with my girlfriend in a double ensuite room(shower and bathroom included) and it was perfect.

I was at the London House with my 3 friends of mine. I would recommend this hostel to young groups, most of the guests are young people. I spent 3 days in a quadruple, beds were good, the room was on the 3rd floor (no lift), we had the cleaning every day but the floor was not so clean. Wc and shower were always clean! Then I moved to a double room and this was so small!!

Non consigliato per i deboli di cuore. L'hotel è pulito, ben servito, ma non vengono fatti lavori di manutenzione da molto tempo credo. Moquette, infissi, intonaci sarebbero da risistemare, anche i bagni in comune.

La prima stanza assegnataci era occupata da altre persone e vedersi piombare in camera 2 estranei in piena notte non è il massimo,però lo spiacevole inconveniente ci ha favoriti in quanto ci hanno assegnato una camera che rispecchiava le foto pubblicate.Agli nostri due amici invece, la stanza assegnata sembrava quella degli orrori:due letti singoli molto spartani,moquette che dimostrava tutti i suoi anni,gli pseduo armadi sembravano più degli scaffali da dispensa e il bagno sebrava preso da una cabina di terza classe di una nave.Per di più abbiamo avuto il C."fortuna" di beccare la ristrutturazione dell'hotel i muratori attaccavano alle 7.30 del mattino.Nel complesso pulito ma non ci ritornerei.

Posto ideale per i giovani e per chi non vuole spendere molto. Non lo consiglierei alle famiglie. Stanze essenziali e pulite. Nel prezzo è inclusa anche la colazione; è disponibile l'internet point (per 30 minuti). Buono il rapporto qualità/prezzo. In zona ci sono 2 metropolitane di diverse linee (Queensway e Bayswater). Vicino al centro. Se si ripresentasse l'occasione, ci tornerei.

we made thw reservation two months before and asked for different types of rooms. we werw said that it was ok but the double room for two girls was then one room with a medium-small size bed ...(?)...and breakfast was enough but simple. rooms very old and not so clean also. sorroundings very very nice, with everything to eat, to buy...just for young people travelling with no money. photographs are not real.

Il rapporto qualità-prezzo-posizione dell'hotel è invidiabile.Ci siamo trovati davvero bene:la stanza assegnataci era quella che avevamo richiesto,il bagno era nuovo e pulito,la colazione non era per niente povera(almeno per 4 italiane solitamente soddifatte da un povero caffè e qualche biscotto),le ragazze della reception sono state disponibili fin dal nostro arrivo,ci sono veramente postazioni internet gratuite.Per così pochi soldi non credo si trovi di meglio...considerando che eravamo in hotel solo per dormire,la stanza era comunque confortevole.Per ragazzi senza richieste esagerate consiglio vivamente questo hotel e appena avrò la possibilità di tornare a Londra credo che rifarò questa scelta.

Best prices, good location, but the web site shows a different hotel, since the rooms are very very modest. No radio or TV in bedrooms, it makes your stay a bit boring. Theres a computer room with free internet, that was great. Theres a big TV on the computer room, but thats it. Good breakfast also.

The location is the only thing excellent about this hotel. I haven't seen any room like on the pictures, thinking of the hotel it's hard to imagine there are any. From a good friend I heard that the hotel is really cheap regarding the surrounding. It's one of the most expensive area's in London. Don't have any expectations about the included breakfast. It's just toast with jam. When you are going around and just want to sleep and have a good shower, the hotel is fine. When you're looking for some days of good rest, go somewhere else. The beds where clean but with tons of iron in the matresses. Very shabby place, for us it was good enough (catch breakfast outdoors!).

they gave us a downstairs room while people was working around us, and at 7'30 in the morning began working, and it was impossible sleeping, so we asked for a new room in the upstairs. Generally, rooms are very poor, and should be change towels all the days, but the location is perfect.

A parte il bagno in camera che non scaricava...(vi lasciamo immaginare!)le camere erano silenziosissime,gli asciugamani ci venivano cambiati ogni giorno, i letti venivano rifatti,la colazione non era abbondante ma sufficiente per il risveglio,la hall offriva la possibilità di richiedere un adattatore per spine italiane,che dire di più il rapporto qualità/prezzo è ok!Consigliato per giovani
