Met by Bea and made very welcome, large comfortable room with bathroom over passage. The breakfast was very special, cereal followed by egg, bacon, sausage, toast and jam. Located two doors from Holland Park tube station with pubs and supermarkets very close.

We had to book a cheap room during our stay the night of Margaret Thatcher's funeral when all hotels jumped their rates five times over! This was about 100 English pounds which was the cheapest we could find in London area. We arrived late and Bea the owner was more than gracious when we got there. It is definitely older,... More

Terrible, terrible place. FILTHY DIRTY SMELLY . Dog hair, mystery stains and very heavy odours set the tone in this vile house. I have never written a review before but feel utterly shocked at the dreadful standard of this hole. I actually fled from here.

This small guest house has to be the best value in London. The position is unbeatable - next to a tube station, a bus straight to Oxford Street outside the door, and easy walking distance to Notting Hill Gate and Portobello Road. Lots of shops nearby, including Tesco and M&S, if you're self-catering. Great coffee shops and pubs all around.... More

very very bad hotel, noisy and smelly from the dogs they have, their garden is full of dog droppings, and the smell is everywhere, for sure they can improve on service and cleaning the place. will never stay there ever.

I was slightly concerned after reading other reviews, but Bea (the owner/manager) was fantastic. We stayed here for 4 nights and I really wish we had booked in longer. The room was clean, the shared bathroom was right next to the room, and we could come and go as we wished. The guest house is very central to everything with... More

This is an inexpensive hotel that is located right off the Holland Park Tube stop. It is very convenient but it smells like a pack of dogs have been living there. The floors are filthy as was the shared bathroom. I was surprised by the shared bathroom as It didn't say anything about this on the Kayak booking page. I... More
