Me and a friend arrived for a two night stay and were showed into the comfy looking lounge. our luggage was taken up stairs which was great as we were on the 3rd floor. We had booked a twin room and straight away we were told it was a small room.... granted yes it was small but it was cosy!!... More

I booked a night at Arofsa because there were no other choices that night - I don't usually stay in these types of hotels but I must say I was pleasantly surprised – it’s no luxury hotel and service is minimal. My room was clean and the bed was acceptably comfortable . The bathroom was small but perfectly clean. The... More

The hotel was located perfectly for our needs. Close to our dauhghter's university. We were expected. Attila and Tessa were nice, forthcoming and efficient. Room was clean + quiet + good reading lamps! (not so obvious in London) Shower - fantastic. They have a lounge. nice pictures of Audrey Hepburn and two working computer stations with internet connection! Very conveniet... More

We have just stayed three nights at Arosfa hotel with my wife and daughter, having booked a ´triple´ room well in advance. Actually, on the face of it, the room would not be spacious for a single person...still, after so many visits to London, we could nothing but be amazed how exceptional the atmosphere was that the young couple, Tessa...

There were four of us gals in two twin-rooms; one on the front side (noisier) and one on the back side (quieter.) At first, we were surprised with the small rooms and the tiny "all-in-one" style bathrooms, but we quickly got used to this when we considered the great price and wonderful location. And the best part; Atilla and Tessa.... More

I enjoyed my stay at the Arosfa Hotel in Gower Street. It is within walking distance of many different areas of interest and very close to a Tube Station. The Hotel is comfortable and very welcoming. Compared with many London prices, the cost for bed and breakfast is reasonable. The breakfast is excellent value. As I was late in booking... More

I have just spent a long weekend at Arosfa with my partner and my parents. It was my third time at the hotel but the first with Tessa and Attila running the place, they made us feel at home from the moment we stepped inside. The rooms were extremely clean, tiny but with nothing missing. Our rooms were on the... More

This is my best experience of London ever. For the price that I paid, there is nothing to fault with this stay, and lots to be happy about. The location is excellent as well - short ride on the tube to most of the major sites. Breakfast in Europe will never be as crazy for choice as in Asia, but... More

Having stayed at 4 different hotels on Gower St., the Arofsa is by far my favorite. Even though my daughter and I stayed for one night only, the welcome was overwhelmingly warm and competent, solicitous and helpful. Tessa explained the hotel, the amenities, the room (upgraded from a normal twin to a twin with two double beds), the Wi-fi connection... More

I´ve stayed at the Arosfa twice this year and give nothing but praise! Tessa and Attila will do everything to make you feel at home and enjoy your stay! I hope they never ever get bored with what they do, amazing dedication! :) Lovely small hotel, tiniest bathrooms I´ve ever seen but who cares, how much time do you really... More
