London House Hotel

It can be somewhat daunting to select a hotel in London for a family that has the right mix of price point, amenities and location. The London House satisfied all of these criteria. We got a great price. The hotel had been recently renovated and although our room was "cozy" for a family of four it was comfortable. Two Underground stops were within walking distance as well as numerous eating establishments and various shopping to include grocery, pharmacy, clothes, tourist, etc. The fact that it was also close to Kensington Palace & Gardens was also nice. I would use it again as a staging point for London tourism.

My fiance and I visited London in October during Hallowe'en. The location was great - right near the Bayswater Tube station. It's located 2 blocks away from the main street so the room was really quiet. The hotel was going through renovations and we got one of the new renovated rooms. The room is small, but we expected as much from a European hotel. The bathroom was also newly renovated which was great. Only con - they hadn't installed towel racks so we had nowhere to hang our towels! The breakfast was an extra 3 Euro per person - skip this. You can get a better breakfast from Marks and Spencer in the Whiteley's Shopping Centre 2 blocks away.

Nottinghill and Hyde Park are both short walks away. There's a couple restaurants on the main road. And 2 Tube stations are close by.

This hotel was definitely worth staying at and we'd stay here again. Only thing was that service at the reception could be better.

Make sure you have high tea at the Lanesborough Hotel - rated #1 in the last 2 years and we can see why. It was a great experience. Nottinghill has great vintage stores for those who love vintage shopping. Harrod's is a tourist experience and Selfridges is great for shopping as well. Go to the TKTS for cheaper show tickets - Wicked is a must see!

For those in London for more than 5 days - get the 1 week oyster card - this will save you money.

Spent 4 nights here and it was a pretty decent no frills hotel. As expected, the room was small, the bathroom was ok so we don't really have much to complain although the front desk staff could be a little bit friendlier. Nevertheless, its location near Bayswater (Circle/District Line) & Queensway (Central Line) tube stations was a plus point. And for Muslim travelers, Halal restaurants were easily available, there's even a Halal branch of Subway sandwich cafe here.
