I was in the middle of the shower and the water would just totally shut off. It happened during 3 of the 4 mornings. The first time, with shampoo still in my hair, I called the front desk. I was told by the receptionist that this hardly happens and she would notify the plumber and call me back. No one... More

Stayed for one night so we could be in London early, so wanted a basic and resonably priced hotel with no frills. I would agree with other reviewers that this hotel is well presented - clean, friendly staff, and perfectly adequate rooms. The room was not as small as I had been led to believe from other reviews (although bathroom... More

the quality of the room is above average, clean comfortable bed. Clearly still a work in progress builders on site etc lack of amenities outside of room ie no bar or lounge. Over priced given current facilities. Check in staff including management surly and unhelpful, seemed to think it appropriate to be having heated discussion about IT matters in preference... More

Superb Location. Rooms are very clean, modern and comfortable. Beds are good but had feather pillows and duvets so not good for asthma/ allergy sufferers. 3 friends in a basement family room (2 double beds) which was quite spacious enough, although the addition of hooks in the bathroom for towels etc would be a great help. When the renovations are... More

My stay at the London House from May 7th till May 10th was excellent. The room, though small, was very clean. The front door staff were very helpful and the hotel was located near the center of London. Overall a very happy experience.

Close to Bayswater tube station, the London House is great for exploring Notting Hill and Portobello Road area, but also if you like to take the tube to other parts of town,

Spotlessly clean small double room for single occupancy. Good shower en suite...and very helpful reception staff allowed me an extra hour for checkout to save me hanging round for my train from nearby Paddington. Five minute walk to Queensway, Bayswater Rd, Hyde Park...and easy walking to Paddington. Bit on the pricey side at £130 for a small double, but I... More

The hotel is in a nice location quite central with plenty of choice for restaurants and bars. Rooms are clean but a bit small. Service is good and staff very polite. Price is acceptable and good value for money in London

My girlfriend and I stayed here for one night in January. The hotel is very close to the Bayswater Underground station and is within walking distance of Kensington Gardens and Notting Hill. The room was slightly small and the hallways were rather tired looking. The bathroom was nice and clean as were the sheets. You have to pay a small... More
