The Orlando

This is a small, family-run bed & breakfast close to Hammersmith tube (& access to Heathrow and the sights of London) The rooms are small but adequate, well maintained and double glazed windows. Rooms at the back are quieter.

Great breakfast. Friendly and pleasant staff. Plenty of pubs, eateries, and shopping within a very short walk.

Traveler be warned! The rooms here are uber tiny and it felt like my husband and I were always in the way of each other. These rooms were tiny even in comparison to other European rooms we've stayed in. The bathroom was super tiny too and only one person can be in it at a time. You can't dry off in the bathroom either (or at least I couldn't...and by no means am I a heavy/bigger person) and I had to get out of the bathroom to dry off (at least we had our own bathroom and didn't have to share! I noticed at a lot of hotels you have to share a bathroom with the floor). The rooms are very dated, but are clean; and they do service the rooms every day. The beds seemed to be newish and were comfortable enough to not bother me while asleep (although my husband and I were given a room with two twin size beds). We were on the top floor so it was quiet at night, but I think I could hear the person in the room next to us snoring. If you do get a top floor, be ready to do some serious stair climbing as there's no lift. The host if VERY friendly, and very helpful. Their breakfast is outstanding...full English and cooked to order, and it's served from 0700-0900. The hotel is in the Hammersmith area and about a 10 minute walk to the underground. From the Hammersmith station, it's about a 10-15 minute ride to Victoria station and that's where most of the tours leave from (get a Zone 1/2 Underground pass for about 5 pounds per day...this will take you everywhere you really want to go and it's faster than the buses). In the Hammersmith area there's a few nice pubs and a grocery store as well as some restaurants. As long as you are just looking for somewhere to rest your head, this place is perfect. If you want high class and quality though you should look elsewhere.

It is a small hotel and the room is no frills. The furniture is outdated and the washrooms are small. As long as you know you are not signing up for a five star hotel then everything should be good. But, the staff and service is excellent. Very hearty morning breakfast and Giuseppe went out of his way to make things easy for me. Location is about 1km from the Hammersmith Tube station. There are nearby grocery stores and plenty of good restaurants in the area. Internet was fast and there were free local calls which I found to be invaluable. For the price it was an excellent hotel.
