The business has a small front reception area. We arrived after a long, long day. The front desk staff was so kind. We were a party of 3. The rooms are small, which was fine since we planned on site seeing and crashing after. We visited for a few days. Each day, the location was clean and quiet. The view outside was of other buildings. Windows are a little outdated but were expected. We had extra toiletries to accommodate all of us. Enough towels (few in closet) were provided and enough for all of us. Location. Within a few minutes of small stores, train station and landmarks. Staff assisted with the location on a map to get to the Hop on/Hop off bus. The front desk staff also assisted with contacting a driver to the cruise pier that was several hours away. The hotel location has a breakfast you can pay for if you decide. We walked through the breakfast options first, and they just added it to our hotel room upon checking out. The front desk has a vending machine with water and a snack. You will need change with pounds or credit card. I was only able to purchase one thing at a time, but it could have been a user issue, lol. Things to know The room has a teapot with tea/coffee. Also, cream-sugar. Along with a cookie. Bring the European plug for electronic. Some of the plugs are located in areas that may need longer chargers. Bring walking shoes. Some roads are cobblestone. read more

Nice hotel, friendly people, small like most hotels in the area. They don't provide breakfast and the rooms get pretty hot at night but overall a good option. read more

Oh no! They installed fragrance machines in the lobby quite recently. At first I thought it was a guest with strong perfume that smelled like floor cleaner. It gave me a headache. I turned around and left. I feel bad for the staff that must breathe this toxic fumes all day. Also...see image This very intense demolition of the entire block directly behind the London House Hotel can be felt in our room beginning at 9:00 am and lasting throughout each day. The window in our room vibrated from it. I could feel it in the bed and in the bathroom. Enormous hydrolic hammers smash the concrete building into small bits. Then large blue machines crush those bits into fine grit. read more

I stayed here 4 nights this past week and had a lovely stay. First off, the location is PRIME (especially for the price!). It is located in Bayswater just walking distance from the Circle line (Bayswater Station), the Central line (Queensway Station), Hyde Park and plenty of coffee shops, grocery stores and pubs that are located on Queensway. The outside of the hotel is just lovely, it looks like a beautiful London home. The front desk staff was all very nice and super accommodating. Check in is at 2pm but we arrived a bit early and our room wasn't ready so they offered to take our bags and allowed us to use the bathroom downstairs to freshen up. They also provided us ice for our room once we checked in. As for the rooms, yes they are small but this is pretty standard for Europe and when you're spending $100 a night to be in a Central location of London it is completely fine. The room has a actual hair dryer which was fantastic, a TV, coffee machine, fridge and closet space. Everything is VERY clean too. They do offer continental breakfast for an additional charge, but we didn't take part in it. There was some construction going on behind the hotel which did wake us up 1 of the mornings but otherwise it is nestled on a quiet, lovely street. I felt so safe in the area and would 100% come back here in the future. My only complaint is that I wish they had a few more amenities on site like a bar or restaurant and fitness center. Other than that, a great affordable place to stay in an incredible area of London. read more

I found this hotel At Trip Advisor. Based on the reviews I inquired and booked it. It's a little jewel in the Kensington area. Location is great with two tube stations nearby. Bayswater & Queensland. As well as bus service. About a 5-8 min walk and you are on your way to explore Greater London. Queensway is a busy street full of shops and restaurants. A grocery store Sainsbury is here as well and you can stock on goodies for the fridge provided at the hotel. The hotel has a breakfast room in the basement for Continental Breakfast. Upon arrival, the front staff was extremely friendly and courteous. I arrived a bit earlier and my room was ready so I settled right in. My room is a small, dorm style room well appointed.All the amenities are included( coffee, tea, hair dryer, fridge, safe box). The shower stall is tiny. Cannot be overweighted or one would not fit in through the small door. Otherwise, I found it extremely comfortable. Will definitely return. read more

London House - Lobby - Hotels Near Me - London, XGL

I have fond memories of Bayswater and wanted to stay in the area. I found London House and was glad I did. Overall the hotel is very clean and welcoming. The staff were courteous and friendly. The location itself is ideal. The rooms are on the small side but for a single traveler like myself my room was perfect. The room was well appointed and the bathrooms modern and clean. There is construction going on across the back of the hotel but I did not find that bothersome or noisy. In fact I did not hear any of the construction and my room faced the construction. There was an old mall called Whitley's that is being renovated by Foster+Partners. Over a BILLION dollars are being spent to make housing, gym, retail and hotel complex. It will be quite impressive and good for the neighborhood when completed. This will make London House and even better value. I booked well in advance and my room rates were quite reasonable for London. I was very happy with my choice. The Good: Well priced, clean, modern hotel with a friendly helpful staff The Bad: Lots of construction going on Chances I'll be back: On my next visit to London, I'll most likely stay here again. read more

I loved how central this hotel is and the price was great. There are very good restaurants in the area and we were able to walk to Kensington Palace. We had no problem walking in the area during the night and you can find healthy food in the morning, and a good beer with pies in the evening. Yes, the room are small, but this is the case in almost all Europe. Everything was clean, comfortable enough for two people and the staff was friendly, they even gave us the room earlier than we expected and also gave us recommendations for an Indian restaurant around the corner that was yummy! I'm planning to stay here again on my next trip! read more

If I could give negative stars I would. This place falsely advertises. Rooms are like closets, beds are tiny. My husband is 6'2 and was miserable. Construction is going on all around. Do not stay here. Everyone that works here is rude and barley speak. read more

Great locale outside of the Queensway stretch of retail. It's tucked away from that business in a quiet garden block. However the rooms are tiny. My room could have done without the extra bed. The bathroom is a decent size but the hot water doesnt last very long. Glad i didnt come in the winter. Hard to beat price and location but the minor inconveniences may draw back read more

The location was pretty nice. It's pretty close to Chelsea and Notting Hill. It's close to a ton of eatery. It's a quick walk to Hyde Park. It's quiet and clean. It's also situated close to two metro lines so it's easy to get around. Staff is friendly. The room is tight and the restroom was even smaller than I expected, but I guess that was expected in the middle of London at this price range. The only thing I really didn't like was the shape of the sink in the bathroom and how there was a ledge right above it making it really hard to wash face without getting water all over the floor. But really, I wasn't planning on spending a lot of time at the hotel anyways and the location really made up for the not-so-great parts of the hotel. Oh...and try not to get a room right in front of the elevator. The walls are pretty thin and it can get little annoying. read more

I stayed here for 6 nights, and I really enjoyed my stay here, it was clean, bright, and the staff was really nice and helpful. I know the room was small compared to US rooms, but it was perfect for me (one person). I see other reviewers complaining about noise at night time, but I had no issues during my stay. I did not try their breakfast during my stay, I just opted to eat breakfast at restaurants. Also FYI there's no laundry services here but around the corner there's is a laundry mat, you can do your own or pay for them to do it for you. read more

This hotel is pretty nice inside and out. The room is slightly smaller than I expected. They only had twin beds available, so my wife and I had to sleep in separate beds which was ok. The staff was very nice and helpful with any questions we had. read more

Three nights of the worst sleep in a while (and I live in LA near a main road..). I had made my reservation through Booking.com where this hotel has good reviews. Not entirely sure where the high score comes from but I assume it is due to the location, which is indeed excellent since it is near lots of restaurants and shops as well as two tube stations. A list of general remarks: -Staff was friendly but does not go above and beyond. I was not even asked upon checkout if I had enjoyed my stay. Just a 'goodbye' as I handed the keys over. Weird. -Honestly love the actual hairdryer as opposed to the wall units other places have -Pretty small TV, but with your bed pretty much touching all walls, I guess you can see decently enough -Since there is no chair in the room, some more hooks on the walls to hang things would be nice -No outlets in the bathroom Now for my fury: NOISE NOISE NOISE!! You can literally hear everything. This place has not been sound proofed at all. Every time someone talks in the hallway or closes a door, it feels as if though they are in your room. Also, the closets are so close to the wall that when someone opens the door, it slams into the wall. The bathroom doors have a chain in them so they also get pulled shut all the time. The walls are also made out of paper since I heard my neighbors talk at midnight and could make out that they are Italian. I woke up on average 3-4 times each night which made my visit to London quite hard towards the end. Tip: Provide free ear plugs for guests. PS: Their Wi-Fi was also abysmal. In this day and age, one should not have to complain about this. read more

This is a great hotel to stay at when you're visiting London. It's close to transportation, and it's quiet for those stay in/relaxing days. Every time we visit London, we definitely want to stay at the London House again. There's also a lot of restaurants and shops near by. The closest station is Bayswater, quick to get here on the District and Circle Lines. Another thing I love, is the architecture of the outside! You get that old charm London feel in the neighborhood, but modern amenities inside. read more

This review is on behalf of my friend-All Americans stay clear of this place!!! My friend & his girlfriend were burglarized on their last night this past weekend: a laptop & some valuable items were stolen. There was lack of management response-no sense of urgency. They called my friend a liar & said the hotel had "never" had an incident of theft. Because police concluded the security system showed "normal" activity, the only conclusion they could make was that my friend was making a "fraudulent" claim. So not only was my friend burglarized, they were calling him a liar. My advice, take your hard earned money elsewhere, where you don't have to worry about being robbed then told you're at fault. read more

I was very unhappy with our arrival. My fiancé and I had just gotten engaged before arriving and he was going to surprise me with flowers, champagne, and chocolate in our room that he had arranged beforehand with the hotel staff. When we checked in, the 2 front desk people were talking, very loudly, about how to charge the cost for the followers and champagne and then asking us questions about the additional charges to the room. Completely ruined the surprise aspect. I was still optimistic though, a sweet gesture nonetheless. However, the flowers were already wilting and the champagne was fully warm, with no chilling bucket and no glasses??? The walls are also extremely thin so you can hear everything in hall and rooms next to you. The staff was friendly and it's in a great location for the underground and food. read more

Great experience here! Pricey, but it's London. The room was fine and the staff were helpful when we needed to print out train tickets. The area was safe and convenient to the tube/restaurants. Near the yellow line and Kensington Gardens. read more

Very nice and affordable hotel! Nicely located close to the underground and Hyde Park. There are also different shops and restaurants/Pubs just around the corner. The room was small but very comfortable and clean. Very modern bathroom. I'll def come back next time! read more

I had a twin on the 3rd floor when I came to visit my family from Feb 28-March 4th, 2011. The accommodations were certainly budget hotel. However, it was clean and the front desk staff were very friendly. Additionally, the rooms have a fridge and an electric kettle, so I stocked the fridge with items from the Marks & Spencers in the Whiteley's shopping center across the way and saved on my food bill (there's also a Tesco Metro and Sainsbury's). Location wise it's perfect as well. There are 2 tube stations within walking distance and anywhere you want in London is easily accessible in 30 minutes or less. My only complaints are the sink in my bathroom was leaky and I do think the walls could stand a fresh coat of paint. However, at £184 for 4 nights, I can't complain too much. read more

For the price and the location, I was pretty satisfied. The staff were fine enough, and the room is a shoebox, but it's got what you need. The shower pressure was nice, the little TV had a ton of options, and the location was close to two tube stations and in a nice area of town. The cons were pretty simple. I almost bounced out of the bed when I sat on it, it was super springy. Like I said earlier, the staff weren't bad, they just also weren't good. And the walls are paper thin, so I heard conversations next door, and the damn elevator, which I shared a wall with. But I think you'll find the price is right and if you're alright with a small hotel room (smaller than usual), this is a fine place to stay! read more

For our second visit to London, we decided to stay not so close to Heathrow hehe (newbs) and not so Central London, so we found London House, close to Notting Hill neighborhood :) Easy tube ride from LHR and walking distance to Bayswater (Circle/District Lines) and Queensway (Central Line) tube stations. We stayed in a room right below the hotel entrance. Only con was hearing footsteps at night but that's what ear plugs are for. Our room had a double bed and two twins. Bathroom was comparable to a cruise ship stateroom bath, but it was OK for us. Services were adequate and check-in/out was a breeze. Free wifi is always a plus! From what my cousin who lives in London said, we were in a good part of town. Lots of shops and eateries. Tesco Express, Sainsbury, Boots, Superdrug, Costa Coffee, Starbucks close to hotel for any snacks, toiletries, you may need. Would stay here again. read more

The hotel is very clean furnishings are modern and new. The bathrooms are small but it's to be expected in Europe. It's convenient to the the Bayswater underground stop. For an additional 7£ you can have breakfast . They offer toast, hard boiled eggs, coffee, tea, juice, yogurt, cereal, fruit, etc. read more

Stayed here a few weeks ago. Really cute neighborhood, very close to lots of shops, restaurants and two tube stations. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. My boyfriend and I had a "small double room". The space was perfect for just the two of us, and there was LOTS of storage room including a closet and mini fridge so we didn't need to leave our stuff on the floor. I was very happy with my stay. Just 1 star off because I think our room was below a laundry room and the first day we were woken up at 7am from a washer/dryer going off really loudly above us. read more

The Hotel is located a few minutes walk from Bayswater Station (Circle / District Line) in Kensington. Surrounding is quiet and you get to sleep well there. Many shopping opportunities within walking distance. Stayed there for 3 nights in March 2010 during a short trip to London. Pretty small rooms, but clean and well equipped (large bed, lcd tv, tea cooker, phone, hairdryer). For people visiting from continental Europe: There is at least one socket available for your electrical devices, we used it mostly for cellphone / laptop. When we arrived the elevator was out of service, so we had to carry our luggage all the way up to our room. Anyway, friendly personnel, wakeup call came on time on the day of our departure. Can't say anything about the food there, but it looked ok. Pricing isn't cheap, but hey, it's London! What do you expect? ;) read more

I stayed in this hotel during my honeymoon. It seems very modern downstairs in the lobby, but the rooms are very small. If you plan on sleeping past 8 or 9 good luck. You can hear everything that is going on on your floor. They did not insulate very well if at all. The light switch for the bathroom is at the top of the door frame too, maybe a European thing? I couldn't reach it though so I had to stand on my tip toes w. my iPad to turn it on... Linens also were not changed daily, they would only make the same bed which left me feeling a little dirty everyday... Good location for the hotel, rest I could of done without. read more

This was a great place to rest our weary heads for 2 nites. Very friendly staff and great location with lots of restaurants and shopping just around the way. It's a short walk from the Queensway/Bayswater tube. They have internet in the lobby which came in handy when I needed to email BF about my arrival time and to vent about the bitch I was traveling with. There was a tv in the room so I was lucky enough to watch the shows with the Brits and their impeccable sense of humor and cheekiness!! read more

I stayed at the London House Hotel the one night that I spent in London (I was actually visiting Paris for a week, but spent a couple of days in London in the middle of my Paris trip) and I must say that I was highly impressed! Not only was I able to book a room last minute, but the price was also quite reasonable. Best of all, my room seemed to be very clean and well-kept (see pic). It was rather small, I must concede; however, given that I was only staying there for one night and also arrived very late (around 1:00 AM), I actually didn't care how tiny the room was since it wasn't as though I was going to spend much time there anyway. All that mattered to me was that I had a clean room in safe, convenient neighborhood not far from a tube station for a decent price, and this hotel did indeed meet all of my expectations. The front desk clerk treated me courteously the brief time that I interacted with him, so I have no complaints regarding customer service either. All in all, a satisfactory experience and I wouldn't hesitate to book at London House Hotel again the next time I visit London. In fact, I liked this hotel so much more than the one I was staying in at Paris that I wasn't looking forward to leaving this place behind to return to my Paris room, but that's another story entirely lol. read more

i was happy with our 5-night stay here. friendly staff (except for one gal at the desk), free wifi in the lobby, and an elevator! when our shower wasn't draining, they fixed it same day. the rooms are definitely small (like barely fit a full size bed small), but it had a tv, fridge, hair dryer and safe. it's walking distance from bayswater tube, and on the same block as a nice shopping mall. my negatives would be there is no counter space in the bathroom and only 4 channels on the (very small) tv. granted, i have no idea what hotels in london are supposed to be like, but the room was a bit small for two people. and be warned, the hotel is so small, you can hear every person walking by and every door opening/closing from your room. read more

This place is pretty good for such cheap rates! The hotel is not too far from the Bayswater Underground station, enabling you to go just about anywhere in London rather quickly. The hotel is basic and frills are hard to be found, but you certainly will have a hard time finding a better value anywhere else. Our room was small, but it was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The hotel was quiet, as well, and we did not have any noise problems. The location is wonderful; it is in a peaceful, quiet residential area with shops and restaurants. The WiFi costs money in the rooms, but you can catch free WiFi in the lobby if you really need it. Overall, this place was fantastic! read more

AWFUL. construction DAILY FROM 7 AM jack hammers, diggers, drilling, etc all day since arrival. no room upgrade or move offered. breakfast is mediocre and service would be great if it was mediocre it's so bad i can't describe the rudeness i will rereview with the names of staff. read more

This is a great place to stay. No frills, bare bones, but you get more than what you pay for. Small rooms, but a total bargain for London.

Nice hotel in a quiet neighborhood. Conveniently located next to a shopping mall (for snacks & sodas) and underground. Booked the triple room which is quiet, with enough space. Safe, fridge, watercooker included. Instead of the standard breakfast at the hotel, there are at least a dozen bakeries and cafes withun a few hundred metres around the hotel (direction: Notting Hill). Recommended! read more

A tiny room but nice and clean. Friendly staff. Paid over $200 for a double, which had only 1 bed, but the neighborhood is very nice with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Bayswater underground station is about 3 blocks from the hotel read more

The rooms are a decent enough size for the price. However you wont get much sleep. The bathroom doors slam shut so through the night you're constantly woken up by slamming doors anytime anyone in any of the rooms has to used their bathroom. It makes the whole room shake and the window is especially loud when this occurs. There were also people being quite loud in the hallways pretty much all night long, the staff didn't seem to think this was an issue. The garden view was laughable and was more a view of a potted plant and pipes. Furthermore with the exception of one staff member they seem to live by the motto 'do as little as possible'. When a guest asks for something good customer service would say that you at least make an attempt. When i went to the front and asked if they had a wine bottle opener the lady looked to her left and right on the desk then said they dont have one. Getting off ones butt and attempting to locate one would warrant a tip but I'm not going to bribe someone to do their job. We will not be staying here again, in general I enjoy sleep and customer service at a hotel. read more

On paper this hotel sounds and looks good. On arrival the place was clean and the reception welcoming. Its located in a safe and upper class area with good transport connections, shopping and hotels. But behind the polish this hotel left me cold. First of all, the room I had (209) was not very well sound proofed at all. I could clearly hear next-doors wardrobe door opening and banging against my wall. I could even hear the noise of the coat hangers being hung within said wardrobe. I could hear footsteps above and below me. Worst of all I could clearly hear all activity in the hallway (talking, walking) because the door was not really soundproofed at all. There was a big gap at the bottom of my door through which the hallway light clearly shone (3cm at least). The bathroom, whilst clean, had a chipped sink, and a sink design where I could not wash my face without smashing it into the tap or shelf. There were cracks throughout the bathroom tiles that were TAPED with sticky tape. Strange. Lastly, the lighting throughout the hotel was very harsh and unwelcoming (think: blue colour temperature). So yeah, next time I think I would probably try somewhere else. Not because it was bad, but because it felt a little carelessly designed and I'm sure there are better nearby. read more
