Wonderful place. Very charming, excellent location, great staff. Highly recommended.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

All good except that a bed bug appeared and I had to move a hotel in the middle of the night. The staff was very helpful and even though the room was a tiny single bed room it indeed had everything I needed. The staff said it was the first time a bed bug appeared and would deal with it immediately.

When I checked in I think the gentleman tried speaking slowly to make me understand easier cause I am a foreigner. It’s an old historical hotel and I think the founder love poem, I can see from the declaration. Anyway they provided the best breakfast.

Fantastic little B&B in a beautiful and well connected part of London. A fantastic range of restaurants around the area also added to it. Personal touch and thoughtful enquiry by the staff and owners were the cherry on top.

It is a unique facility located in the beautiful Hampstead hills.There are beautiful walks in the hills and the nearby Hampstead Heath. A short walk to the Hampstead tube station. Lorenzo and his staff are hand on with great personal care and service.

Lorenzo and his staff are true professionals. They honestly care about giving their customers the best possible experience. The “cold” breakfast is substantial — the croissants are the best we have had!

My room was absolutely tiny. Although this was just a work trip and somewhere to sleep, the room was uncomfortably small. Breakfast was included. Coffee was lovely and the staff couldn’t be more helpful.

We would highly recommend this family owned hotel. Given the difficulties these days with getting staff etc. they did their utmost to provide us with individual things that we needed. A really friendly and efficiently run place in a beautiful area of London. Many thanks - we'll certainly be booking for next year ! YVonne and Neil
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Overall good value for money. A lot of street noise - unavoidable because of location - quite a lot of room noises: thin walls but, luckily, clientele on the quiet, respectful side. Twin room size adequate for one (myself) but would have been beyond cozy for two. Big bonus is location in Hammersmith: interesting neighborhood restaurants & bars, very close to Heath and close to Tube for exploration of London.
