Dawson House Hotel - Guest House  

Whilst the room was clean, the size of the room was disappointing, The bathroom was so small that you could sit on the toilet and wash in the sink also the shower one could just about move in it as a matter of fact I had to shower at a friends house, outside the window on the balcony there were a lot of cigarette ends which I pointed out to the reception but it remained there and was still ther on my checking out

It was a central location near to facilities but still quiet and peaceful setting. Excellent service and value for money I will be staying again!

I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff and delighted to be welcomed with a complimentary glass of chilled orange juice on a warm day. I had a lovely little single room with a balcony (Room 3) and I really enjoyed being able to sit by the open door of the balcony and enjoy a cool breeze and some birdsong. The wi-fi worked well and was free, which pleased me.Lots of travellers have commented on the tiny bathrooms and yes, the bathroom is really more of a 'bath cubicle'. How they managed to get a toilet, a shower and a washbasin into a space 3' x 3' 10" (yes, I happened to have a tape measure with me!) is pretty amazing. But hey, it's better than having to walk down the corridor. And the price for a single is great. It's a five minute walk to the Tube and from there you can be in the West End in just a few minutes. I liked the fact that there is a choice of three full breakfasts (English, Dutch and Vegetarian).

Given that the hotel is on a residential street, there was more traffic noise than I expected. It was nice to have tea and coffee in the room but I would have liked a bigger choice of tea - a few herbal teabags would have been good. I thought a mattress topper might have made a nice companion for the good quality duvet and pillows.But overall I think this hotel is very good value.

The breakfast! Lovely garden in the back!

1. Conveniently located in London (nice area, near tube - zone 2) 2. Proper breakfasts available (cooked) as well as cold 3. Friendly staff Good option for budget travelers who don't care about minor inconveniences (see "didn't like" list).

1. Hot & Cold reversed on sink tap 2. Hot water takes a while to come through due to low water pressure in the area 3. Tiny bathroom in single room Dated but clean decor.

Clean basic hotel. Staff friendly. Great value for money.

Wc and shower area very small but clean.

The staff who received us at reception and served breakfast and ordered a taxi were very helpful and friendly.

Friendly service, good location (about ten minutes from the London Underground and 20 minutes to the centre of London), clean and well-maintained. The breakfast (included) was generous, tasted good and was served promptly. Eggs and bacon cooked to order. The room was surprisingly quiet - I didn't hear other guests through the night.

The room was ridiculously small: I would guess that it is one of three rooms built into the original first floor room. It was more like a cupboard: the width of a single bed plus about 60cm (2 feet). The "ensuite" bathroom was a smaller plastic cupboard jammed inside the room at the end of the bed. It was too small for me to stand inside to use the basin or the shower (and I'm only 1.6m / 5'4"). I couldn't get any hot-water from the shower or basin. This didn't matter to me because I was staying only one night / 14 hours. I know this is what you have to expect in London for the price but I paid 15% less in Northampton the previous night for a queen-sized room at a chain hotel. Perhaps the family rooms are bigger and better.

Really great, large and clean room with in fact a double and single in it. Very clean and an amazing breakfast. The breakfast was cpoked to order not like the poorer quality buffet style from a much more expensive 4 star with fresh towels everyday. Beds made everyday.

The bathroom, en suite, was small and a bit wall to wall plastic. I saw that bathrooms in other rooms were tiny and not really practical. Although it was kept very clean with fresh towels everyday.

The washing room is really too small in a family room. It is almost too hard to turn around when I took a shower.

The staff is lovely, very kind and helpfull. Breakfast its very complete, there are two kinds of breakfast. There´s a beatiful garden behind the house. There´s a bus station at 100 mts and a metro station at 300 mts. The neighborhood is quite and familiar. I will completely come back and recomend it !!

Good location-quiet place, tube station not too far away. (Jubilee and Metropolitan Line). Breakfast is very good! It was my second stay at the Dawson House Hotel and I will definately come back again!

The bathroom is very small. Might be a bit of a problem for tall and big person.
