Lorenzo and his staff are true professionals. They honestly care about giving their customers the best possible experience. The “cold” breakfast is substantial — the croissants are the best we have had!

2/10 Poor

Awful room
Awful place, I would not recommend this to anyone. Booked a double room, room was very small, dated, hot and stuffy. There was a window which opened into a hotel landing area with a glass room. Requested a change of room but was advised there were no rooms available therefore checked out immediately and found another hotel. I would not recommend this place.

10/10 Exceptional

First off, Lorenzo was the quintessential host - knowledgeable, friendly, and didn't hesitate to help us with anything we needed. He truly went above and beyond. As first time travelers to GB, that was probably one of the most important things we could have hoped for. The room was small but all we needed. The bed was VERY comfortable and it was pretty quiet at night. The shower and bath were clean and a welcome relief after a long day site seeing. They offered a light breakfast which had a nice mix of offerings, but there were other places nearby if you preferred. Hampstead has a variety of store fronts so anything you want is within a 15 minute walk. It's a bit hilly, but the area is great! I want to thank Lorenzo and his staff for all that they did! They were first rate hosts!

4/10 Fair

We had a room that was so tiny we could hardly open our cases or move around comfortably. The bathroom in our double room was so tiny you had to step outside to dry off! Coming in our room was a challenge as there was barely room to squeeze in. Extremely noisy at night even with ear plugs which were provided! The whole facility needs a huge makeover to bring it up to decent standards. The stairs up to the rooms are extremely dangerous and narrow. The staff however are very friendly and helpful.

Would not recommend
I don’t understand why there are so many good reviews, it’s very misleading. Location was good and shower pressure strong, but that’s about it. Bed was terribly uncomfortable. Pillows were old and gross and had other guests hair on them. Walls are so thin I could hear the man in the room next door snoring, coughing, flushing the toilet, etc.

6/10 Good

My room was absolutely tiny. Although this was just a work trip and somewhere to sleep, the room was uncomfortably small. Breakfast was included. Coffee was lovely and the staff couldn’t be more helpful.

I booked this property purely based on the reviews, I would not recommend this property to anybody it was dingy and dirty, I was appalled when I seen it and walked straight back out, I would expect this level of accommodation in a third world country

We would highly recommend this family owned hotel. Given the difficulties these days with getting staff etc. they did their utmost to provide us with individual things that we needed. A really friendly and efficiently run place in a beautiful area of London. Many thanks - we'll certainly be booking for next year ! YVonne and Neil

2/10 Poor

I do not recommend this place more like a hostel or bedsit than a hotel. Normally stay at premiere inn and thought we would try somewhere different. The room had dirty walls and then bed was squeaky. It reminded me of my student accommodation 25 years ago. No sound proofing I could hear neighbours arguing until 1 am. Staff were polite however fire alarm went off multiple times in the night. When I tried to exit the door was internally locked and no one greeted us outside. Worse than this was that a team member from the annex next door was clearly visible inside the property on the phone and distracted while his guests stood for 20 minutes on the pavement outside…in the end I returned back into the building and retrieved the contact telephone number for emergency contacts…as we did not know how long we may be stood outside for…I rang the number and the same man I could see wandering around inside answered and eventually came out…I was very annoyed that he did not approach us in all the time we stood there and left us to fend for ourselves until shamed into helping us. A truly awful experience and I would never stay there again the breakfast offer was boiled eggs bread rolls and cereal and the restaurant error had a strange odour.

8/10 Very Good

Overall good value for money. A lot of street noise - unavoidable because of location - quite a lot of room noises: thin walls but, luckily, clientele on the quiet, respectful side. Twin room size adequate for one (myself) but would have been beyond cozy for two. Big bonus is location in Hammersmith: interesting neighborhood restaurants & bars, very close to Heath and close to Tube for exploration of London.
