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! More

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

I stayed here a couple of nights at the beginning of May with our eleven month old daughter, my mom, my sister and my husband. The family room fit us all nicely, with room for the spacious travel cot we have for our daughter (75cm x 75cm). The bathroom was a little small, with the shower only being separated from... More

First, the Dawson House Hotel is not a hotel. It’s not a B&B. It lacks the amenities and comfort of a hotel and the personal service and warmth of a B&B. Positives: Price. Good location for Wembley. Ten minute walk to Finchley Road tube station. Fairly quiet, leafy street. Reasonably clean. Good (small) flat screen television. Well cooked, filling full... More

My congratulations to Rajan, the owner and his magnificent staff for their wonderful hotel on a charming street with picturesque houses in the elegant style of the 1890's. Very convenient to Finchley Road underground only 5 stops from the centrally located Green Park station, across from the Ritz hotel. A superb breakfast is included- an incredible bargain! I always stay... More
