London House Hotel was an excellent stay for us. Several room options and price ranges are available to suit every budget. Clean spaces with accommodating and pleasant staff throughout. They even decorated the room for my mom's birthday! My only warning would be that only one outlet was set up for the U.K. to U.S. adapter, which was challenging while traveling with a CPAP for my mother. We were able to make it work and would highly recommend this stay.

The staff were mostly friendly, the location was brilliant and my room was very clean. However it was extremely tiny, the walls were super thin (which was horrible for me as a light sleeper) and the water pressure in the shower was really low.All in all I enjoyed my stay at LHH, it's a nice hotel for a short stay.

I'd say that this hotel is just fine. If Google let me give half star reviews I'd say this is about a 3.5, for reasons below:Location: I appreciate that it's kind of tucked away from the main street so it's a great deal quieter than a hotel fronting the street would be. It's an easy walk to two different Underground stops (representing three lines) and loads of bus stops, plus a bit further walk from another Underground stop representing two more lines. Loads of choices for transit if you don't mind walking. It's also close to shops and restaurants.Amenities: The hotel is bare-bones for amenities. A check-in desk, a vending machine, breakfast in the basement (didn't have the breakfast so can't comment there). The room had a kettle, teabags, sugar, and milk.Room Amenities: The room - a Double Garden View Room on the third floor - was freaking SMALL with nothing to suggest that it had (as the website says) "the comforts and elegance of smartly layout interiors, housed in a spacious, modern and fully fitted environment". If you and your travel companion are petite individuals traveling light then this room might be fine for you, however if you're close to 6 feet tall and weigh more than 150 pounds and/or are travelling with checked bags this room will be too small. I did appreciate that the bed was comfortable and both windows in the room opened fully- plus the air conditioner was extremely cold which is rare!The bathroom sink was so small that I would splash water everywhere while rinsing my face, plus there was a glass shelf right at head height when you're trying to rinse your face so I had to try to not boink my head. The shower is very small, absolutely not enough room to shave your legs (couldn't bend over in the shower). I did appreciate the very hot water and great water pressure. Also the bathroom exhaust was great but the door was on auto-close so we had to prop it open with the trash can to fully vent.Towels were linty! WHY! So much lint on my face and body after drying off.The walls of the hotel were EXTREMELY THIN, I could hear people coughing/ blowing their nose/ flushing the toilet. Fortunately during our stay our neighbors were quiet but if you're a light sleeper bring a noise maker and some earplugs.Room Cleanliness: The room itself was really clean, including the mattress and sheets. There was a smell like they had just cleaned the carpet next to the bed (very floral scent just in one area) which gave me pause but the cleaning smell went away and no bad smells replaced it so can't complain. The bathroom was clean except for some mold growth in the grout in places but I think that's because the bathroom door auto-closes so moisture is likely to get trapped in there.All in all, it's fine. If I was travelling solo and/or on a business trip this would be a fine hotel to pick, but I don't think I'll be staying here again when travelling with someone else.

Returning to London House Hotel was an absolute delight! The fantastic location remains a highlight, but it’s the warm, welcoming staff - especially Silvia and Greis - | that make it exceptional. …

I found it to be excellent value for money, especially given its prime location. The hotel is well-situated, with easy access to public transport and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby.The staff were friendly and very helpful throughout my stay. They were always on hand to answer any questions or assist with requests, which made the experience all the more pleasant. The room itself was clean and comfortable – not overly luxurious but perfectly adequate for the price paid.My only small gripe was that the WiFi password was provided on a thin, tiny strip of paper, which was a bit too easy to misplace. However, this was a minor issue in an otherwise great stay.Overall, I have no complaints and would certainly consider staying here again.

Was everything we were looking for, a nice, well appointed, affordable hotel outside of the city center but we easy underground access to all the main attractions.The staff were very engaging and helpful, rooms were clean and comfortable and most importantly quiet.There are two underground stops close by along with a number of dining choices.I would highly recommend this hotel.

I was actually shocked with how nice the entrance and reception area to the hotel was. So bright, airy and very clean! We have a double room downstairs which was small but perfect for 2 people sharing that were out and about all day anyway. It has a comfy bed, hairdryer, TV, kettle with coffee/tea and biscuits, vanity table with mirror and a spacious bathroom with shower and even had mini toiletries included. The room, corridors, lift and other areas were all very clean and tidy. I'd definitely stay here again as it was central with a 5 min walk to Hyde Park and a 2min walk to lots of Restaurants, shops and cafe's. Fab time was had and hopefully we will be back :)

We stayed a week and had housekeeping attend to our two rooms everyday. The facility is exquisitely well maintained. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean. The staff was helpful. We reported one issue with the air conditioner and it was handled on the same day in a very timely manner. The toilet paper was high quality for a hotel. The mattresses were decent. The only thing I would have liked better is if there was more bathroom counter space available. But otherwise it was an excellent place to stay with excellent customer service. We will very likely stay again when we make our semi-annual visit.

My girlfriend and I spent 3 nights at the London House Hotel, in the beginning we didn't know what expected us, we had had some bad previous experiences in other hotels. But what a surprise, this hotel is way more than it advertise said. The room was cleaned and comfy. The staff were so polite that we felt very comfortable during our staying in London, and everything went fine. Thank you very much for everything!!! I highly recommend it for everyone!!
