“Great place to go back to sleep to”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012 via mobile

We stayed at London house hotel for 6nights nov/dec.

It was in a great location. Within quick walking distance to shopping centre, pharmacy, restaurants and bayswater tube. First day we walked to Oxford street through Hyde park and took about 35mins.

The rooms very small but clean and had everything we needed just to sleep. The lobby deco is definitely revamped and doesn't match the deco of the room but it was still clean and good enough to go back to from a long day

We had a room at the staircase so occasionally loud when ppl climbed up and down the staircase

Central heating good. Wifi in room. Hot water good. Safe and fridge.

What we loved about it was the convenient location

“Convenient, Modern & Helpful”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

My husband and I stayed at the London House Hotel in September with my parents. We had a quadruple room. It was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful in providing recommendations and helping us store our bags upon arrival and departure. If you're looking to stay in central London but not directly next to the sites, this is a great location. It's very close to two Underground stops and Portobello Market is about a 12 minute walk. The lobby was large and comfortable and the outside was very charming. I'd recommend this hotel for your next trip to London! The only thing that would make it better would be wifi throughout the entire hotel and not just the lobby.

“A nice place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

We stayed at the London House for two 2-night stays whilst criss-crossing the UK this November. We found it immaculately clean, very convenient to the Underground (two lines) and to a wide variety of dining options. The staff was professional and quite helpful in providing local information. A special thanks to Pauline for her internet searches. The rooms are small by US standards, but we only needed a place to sleep and freshen up. Our expectations were met and exceeded, and we would happily stay again. Well-done, London House: thank you.

“Home Sweet Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012

I stayed in one of the London House apartments this past summer and I absolutely adored the space! I rented a small studio apartment located in the posh Courtfield Gardens community (Earl's Court). The neighborhood was just heavenly and a ways from the downtown hustle and bustle. Also, the famed Earl's Court Station was just a 2 min walk away. To travel to tourist locations, I merely had to take a 10 minute tube ride on the Piccadilly Line. London House made me feel quite at home and I couldn't have asked for a more pleasant experience.

Tip: Ask about summer apartments or short-letting locations. Great value, great experience.

Thank you for writing your review.
I was quite surprise to read this review as we put a lot of emphasis on cleanliness and customer service.
As most of the other reviewers have wrote, one of our strongest point is the cleanliness of the hotel room and the hotel in general. Our housekeeping team are working very hard to clean all rooms to very high standard and our maintenance team ensure all rooms are kept well maintained .
I am sorry that from some reason we did not meet your expectations and I wish you happy new year.
