 | |  |  | London House Hotel: Cheap, clean and close to everything. Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating:    Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
This was a fairly cheap hotel, close to 2 tube stations and many busses. In between HydePark and Nothing Hill. Steps from Kensingtong Park. It was clean, friendly staff (multilingual: Spanish, Polish, etc). Close to all kinds of restaurants(fast food, and nice ones) , convenience stores, supermarkets (2 bigs ones), post office, a mall. All you need to sleep. The only bad thing is the lack of an elevator to the upper floor rooms, no air conditioning. The quad room was big enough, but the triple (612) was just great. It even has a balcony and a TV. Did not try breakfast, we were told it wasn´t all that good, so we had breakfast at a small cafe near by.
It is in the middle of everything, yet, not too loud. Internet access (1 pond for 1/2 hour), and close to everything.

| | | | London House Hotel: Reasonably priced and good location Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
Service is prompt, the basic amenties are there and there is also free internet access on certain days of the week. The room is very clean, warm linen is provided and quite a good breakfast is included. If you are thirsty, buy a drink at the vending machine, it costs 50 pences only, cheaper than the stores outside. However, a disadvantage is that there is no elevator serving the floors.
The hostel is located about 5 mins from two tube stations: Bayswater and Queensway, Bayswater being the nearer one. The location is very good, within zone 1 of London. If you want to eat some good fish and chips, Costas Fish Restaurant is just a tube station away at Notting Hill Gate. I would say this hostel is good value for money.

Then turn left again and walk straight down. It is behind the shopping centre.Website: http://www.hostelworld.com Other Contact: 020 7243 1723 (Fax)

I booked this hostel via Ryanair’s hostelworld website. I had some quite good experiences with the hostels I booked via them, with only one exception which was another Hostel in London (Hyde Park Inn). That’s how I found London House Hotel. Construction works took place during the time I was there, so the carpets on the staircase were dusty. However, as these works were halted during the weekend, I can’t say, if or how disturbing the noise was. What was a little disturbing was the fact that there were not enough keys for everybody in the dorm. So, I once arrived shortly after midnight and all the keys have been taken. The usual way in this case was that a staff member would open the room for you. However, that’s annoying, if you just want to go to the toilet or shower. On that night, I was told to knock the door as one of the other guys took the last key 15 minutes ago. The receptionist did not think about the fact that this would surely wake up everyone else in the room too… Note that the decription is for a stay in a shared room. There are also private rooms, making this house a mixture of hotel and hostel.
If there hasn’t been the problem with the key, I would have given this hostel a fourth satisfaction point. The rooms were OK, with a sink and even a TV. The only missing thing was probably a locker, but these were available close to the reception desk. Breaksfast was also fine. Nothing outrageous, but toast with butter and different choices of jam (edible jam, not like the sweetened stuff they give you at Hyde Park Inn), coffee and orange juice – all you can eat and drink, but nothing to take away. The showers were not the best, but as they are in progress of reconstruction, this is something I can look over. At least they were working and hot water was available. Location is great, very close to Bayswater tube station. The area is somewhat touristy with many other hotels and hostels around as well as restaurants and souvenir shops.

Turn left, Kensington Gardens Square is the second to the right.Website: http://www.londonhousehotels.com/

| | | | London House Hotel: Central & Clean; Uncomfortable and badly run Compare Rates NEW! | Satisfaction: | | | | |
London house hotel is a well located and clean spot in the Bayswater area. You will have all a traveller needs in 5 minutes walk. In my opinion the breakfast was quite good. Toasts and jam, milk, corn flakes, tea, juice, and you can eat how much you want. Internet access is free, although sometimes you might have to wait a bit to use it. The negative point is the management and the rooms. The people that were in the reception didn’t knew much (some said we could use the microwaves others said we couldn’t; they said that the lockers would give our money back, but they didn’t; we ask for an adapter they gave us 3 broken ones; they said that to Heathrow it would take 10 minutes by subway; she didn’t know that Bayswater Station was closed…). Then the room... I was sent to a basement. It was incredibly hot (I’m sure that in winter must be nice, but in one of the hottest weeks in London, it was a torment), the mattress was extremely uncomfortable, and the ceiling had holes. Besides that they were doing works, so one of the rooms nearby was totally smashed, and dust spread along the corridor. When we came back in the next day, we discovered that, without being told anything, the bathroom that served the rooms had been closed and smashed. The other bathrooms we were sent to were much worse. According to the American girl that was there with us, the showers of the 3rd floor where she was sent to, one was obstructed, and impossible to use while, the other, had a view over the parking lot, so anyone that was there could see her showering. So I guess it is a cheap place, relatively clean, but I don’t think they are that much interested in their guests well being or maintenance of the place. And by the way, phone there to book, because I had book through hostelworld, and there were some problems with it. The manager kindly told us that it was not of her business, that she had nothing to do with them, and we should have booked through the phone (although their website sends us to a hostelworld form).
Free breakfast, linen and internet. Paid lockers, lauzy bathrooms and uncomfortable rooms.
