to get started.

Beautiful building, friendly staff, very close to the metro station

Iris, Netherlands

Large clean comfortable room, well equipped and offering parking.

Philip, United Kingdom

A block from the underground, near markets and other stores. A real London neighborhood experience. One one flight to walk up. Alex, the concierge, gave us maps, tips and information to help us navigate.

Michele, United States of America

there was a wonderful restaurant for breakfast, just done the block, that was recommended by the staff.

Eileen, United States of America

It's close to Underground "Clapham South" (Northern Line), and bus stops are even closer by. For a double room with a private bathroom/shower, the price was pretty good. I almost forgot to mention that I had the most wonderful check-in experience ever! The staff was so friendly and helpful to every guest.

Mireille, Taiwan

I could not have been more happier with our stay. Staff was excellent.. Very helpful.... We arrived early due to our flight and they immediately started cleaning our room for an early check in. Only a 1 block walk to the tube. Great pub, coffee shops, and stores nearby... Highly recommend for a London stay....

Manny, United States of America

A fantastic welcome from Alessandro! What a lovely man. We picked this place because it was good value and was in an area that we needed to be. It has all the basics covered and also is very handy for the tube, a good selection of restaurants and green spaces. We had a nice, comfortable stay.

Patricia, United Kingdom

Clean and relatively quiet consider it is on a busy road.

Susan, Canada

Receptionist extremely helpful. Hotel located near underground.

Genevieve, United Kingdom

The staff was very friendly our room was very clean and our bed was comfy nice stay and would come back again.

Really close to the tube station. Spotlessly clean and the owner can't do enough for you. Lots of places to eat nearby. Everything you could need is provided, even earplugs in case you aren't used to traffic noise.
