Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a wonderful experience. The rooms were cozy, and it was comforting to know I was in a family-owned place rather than a generic chain. However, if mobility is an issue, be prepared for a few flights of stairs. The service was outstanding, with friendly staff and even an early check-in option. The location was perfect for us, being close to Central London yet having a charming village feel in Hampstead. The breakfast was simple, but there are great nearby options. Despite limited breakfast choices, the wonderful waitress made the dining experience pleasant. Overall, a great value for money.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not so great aspects. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Hampstead, perfect for exploring the charms of the area. The rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean, but being on a high street, the noise from passing traffic was quite disruptive at times. The service was incredibly nice and friendly, with attentive and kind staff. The dining experience was filling and delicious, offering a simple yet satisfying meal. However, the price could make you think twice about value for money.
The hotel rooms were very small, especially the bathroom, but they were suitable for an overnight stay. The service was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially with Mr Lorenzo's assistance. The location was great for those looking to explore beyond central London, being very close to Hampstead Heath. The dining experience was basic but satisfying. The hotel facilities offered everything needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is situated on the main throughway, offering clean and tidy rooms without air conditioning. The rooms are small in size, but all basic needs are catered for. The staff are friendly and accommodating, even facilitating an early check-in. It is perfectly located near shops and restaurants, ideal for exploring the charms of Hampstead but be ready for some hills. The dining options are basic with better alternatives nearby, and the facilities are satisfactory.
My sister and I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The double room was great and very comfortable, although small. We enjoyed waking up to an excellent cappuccino and a generous breakfast with croissants, various breads, fruit, cereals, and more. The hotel's location was ideal for our needs, being near the tube station and 15 minutes to Euston. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff. The dining options were good, but we found better breakfast places nearby. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
I had a nice stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms, great service, and a convenient location near public transport. The dining experience was enjoyable, and the facilities met my expectations. However, some room maintenance issues impacted the overall experience.
