My friend Len and I booked into this guest house over the weekend. We were greeted by the Manager (Bea), who was very friendly and efficient. When we explained that our weekend was going to be visiting three Military Museums (R.A.F. Hendon, The National Military Museum and The Imperial War Museum), she made a point of asking when we wanted... More

What can I say about this place absolutely fascinating, fantastic place, fantastic hotel, fantastic people, fantatic overall. I loved my stay here, yes it may not be your Hiltons or your Thistles but they come close simply for the service that was given and the warm home feeling that was exhibited as soon as I walked in. I loved this... More

Great location right off the tube. When we arrived, the land lady was drunk, but kind, and showed us to our suite (haha). Opening the door, we were slapped in the face by an odor so vile, it could be described as catpeecarpet/old cigarettes/moldy/sewage. You get used to the smell after awhile, but if you leave the room for even... More

It's a perfect place to stay for a group of friends visiting soccer game! Actually there's a smell that really hits you from the entrance and it's a bit shocking, but you don't feel it in the rooms, which are good and clean enough! Location- JUST GREAT!! Decent breakfast and friendly staff. I'm not really sure it's appropriate for couples... More

Typical London pension - medium filthy, sour smell from the carpet, minimal bathroom but friendly staff. On the good side were the breakfast and the excellent location close to the Metro station Holland Park. All in all - good value for the money if you live with the fact that it isn´t superclean.

I stayed for a 5 nights whilst on a working trip. The location is superb for access to a multitude of famous/popular sites. The Notting hill carnival was out of this world (but thankfully it is only 2 nights a year). The good points far outweigh the bad. Yes.. some furniture is old. Maybe milk in fridge was off.. but...

Very old and dirty furniture in room. Would not recommend this place. Is in a very good area with easy access to bus and tube and walking... More
