lovely quiet backwater but good access to central london, not huge rooms and even less huge bathroom, but great value, friendly staff and great breakfast - all round really good value for money - 24hr wifi thrown in.

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a group spending a few days walking in London.Priced at £93 per night - it is now £97 - it does not compare with offers advertised from the likes of the Holiday Inn, Thistle etc.The room felt dingy and redecoration was long overdue.The pillows failed my "pillow test" in that they...

I stayed for 2 nights whilst accessing a course in St John's Wood. It was clean and the breakfasts were also good. For London in a quiet area, it was good value for money. Some of the male staff could have been more helpful, but I can forgive them as overall for me it met my needs. My single room... More

This review is a "game of two halves". Please read on... Other reviews have pointed out, fairly in most cases, the shortcomings of this "hotel": 1. It isn't a "hotel" it's a bog standard B&B. 2. There are no public areas for guests (access to the prominently advertised and nice looking garden is NOT straightforward...getting at it is more dream... More

Stayed at this lovely hotel for 7 nights with my 11 year old and found it to be excellent value. It is located 8 minutes direct walk from Finchley Road Tube station which is on the cusp of the zone 1 and 2 with an excellent range of amenities next to the station such as a huge supermarket and a...

Rather small hotel, tiny rooms and even tinier bathroom. Selection of tea (with electric kettle) available in the room. Very nice staff and excellent breakfast. Hotel is out of centre - in a very quiet neighbourhood (at night). Underground station and night-buses station is within 15 min walking distance!

This is a small, comfortable B&B in need of improvement. If you are staying in the area it is a perfectly acceptable place to stay. The staff is very friendly and there is a very good breakfast made to order with a nice but limited selection. The rooms could be so improved by just a few basic changes. The bathroom... More

I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff and delighted to be welcomed with a complimentary glass of chilled orange juice when I arrived, as it was a warm day. I had a lovely little single room with a balcony (Room 3) and it was great to sit by the open door of the balcony and enjoy a cool... More
