My sister and I were disappointed by the quality of the accommodation, which was expensive at £145 a night. The studio was spacious, but as it was in a basement, it had no windows, so no views outside and little natural light. …

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at A Better Way to Stay's cozy upper studio in Hammersmith. We loved the location and the accommodations made us feel right at home. Vicky and Edmund were such incredibly kind and helpful hosts. We would absolutely recommend and look forward to staying again!

A Better Way to Stay lives up to its name and my party of four were most pleased with the accommodation in what is one of West London's nicer locations, just shy of Brook Green. A period dwelling of character and charm, the quiet tranquillity offered is the ideal antidote to a hectic day in the smoke. The hosts, equally welcoming in what can best be assimilated as English etiquette and courtesy at its very best without intrusion or fuss. Full marks.

We had an excellent stay with very pleasant rooms, in a very quiet street and a stone's throw from Hammersmith underground with a direct line to central London. Really ideal. …

Had one night in the loft apartment. Disappointed not to meet the dog but otherwise what a great location. Gorgeous house with tasteful decor. So much better than a faceless hotel with same paintings everywhere. Comfy beds. …

We stayed 3 nights in the Lower Studio with my adult son ( an extra charge for single bed). ||Pros: great location ( 5 mins to Hammersmith tube, easy to central London and Heathrow), large space with own entrance and small kitchen. …
