The hotel is in a generally quiet neighborhood about three blocks from the West Kensington tube stop. Time to Picadilly is about 15-20 minutes--seems longer after a day of site-seeing. There are a number of shops along the street near the tube, a mix of fast food restaurants, small markets, banks, a bar or two. The hotel room was a decent size and clean. We stayed in one of the rooms at the back of the hotel which faces the railroad tracks. This would have been fine except there was a heatwave and the rooms did not have air-conditioning. We had to keep the window open which let in the noise of the trains--quite loud. The rooms at the front of the hotel were better in this respect, but from all the open doors, it must have been very hot. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The included breakfast was served in a small room on the first level, and you can choose eggs, sausage, cereal, beans, etc.

We recently stayed at the Avonmore for 9 days and found it to be clean, comfortable and quiet. Although the accomodations were cramped by North American standards, they were typical for Britain/Europe. The location is very convenient to the tube station of West Kensington and the area was safe to walk in at night. The staff were helpful and friendly.

First time to London. We stayed in 3 Hotels, as we blanketed a trip to Scotland in the middle of our vacation and couldn't secure a room at the Avonmore when we got back.

But of the 3, the Avonmore was by far the most pleasant. The only one of the 3 that had any room to move.

While I thought the neighborhood was kind of shady, everybody seemed to deny it. There was grafitti all over, and a lot of younger kids hanging around, but nobody really paid us much attention.

The tub is within easy walking distance if you don't like the neighborhood. I liked it, as they had plenty of pubs in the vicinity.

The staff couldn't have been much nicer. Very personable and helpful.
Granted, you have to carry your bags to your room as there are no lifts, but I expected it to be small and kind of Londony. I found it to be part of the charm of the place.

The room was quite, nice, with a large bathroom. I thought it was a perfect kind of place to spend my first trip to London. Of the three places we booked over the internet, it was the closest one to being "as advertised." We wanted a quite little place with a touch of London hospitality within easy access of everything. It was that.

The hotel belongs to very shrewd business people!

I booked for two nights and had to cancel due to a death in the family.
I agreed to the standard policy that they had the right to charge me for 1 night for "no show" or "late cancellation".

They charged my credit card for two nights and did not even send me a receipt. A total rip off!
