Scene
Victorian townhouse offering affordable, contemporary accommodation
The London House hotel offers stylish and contemporary accommodation with great value for money. Its 102 rooms are housed within a beautiful and imposing Victorian townhouse on a quiet, residential street. The lobby is bright, thanks to white walls, light-coloured floor tiles and large windows. The black front desk, light fittings and chairs provide a nicely bold contrast, and the fuchsia chairs bring a welcome splash of colour. Guests are a fairly equal mix of tourists and business travelers, and rates are very affordable for the standard and the area. Rooms are nothing fancy but are pretty good for the price in central London.
Location
On a quiet street but close to the action
The hotel is on a peaceful, well-kept street, and you'd be forgiven for thinking you were pretty far away from bustling central London here. In fact, you can walk to iconic Hyde Park or fashionable Notting Hill in under 10 minutes. Bayswater and Queensway underground stations are both a short walk away, giving you easy access to attractions that are further afield. Plenty of shops and restaurants are on the doorstep, but the area isn't known for its nightlife, so you'll have to travel a bit for the city's top eateries.
Rooms
On the small side, with bland but modern decor
Rooms at the London House Hotel are fairly small and basic, and the decor is modern but bland, with neutral walls and wood furniture. On the plus side, they're functional and clean, and there are a number of room types, so you can choose a Triple or Family Suite instead of a Single or Double if required. All rooms have LCD TVs, free Wi-Fi and coffee and tea-making facilities. Bathrooms only have showers, and hairdryers and free toiletries are provided.
Features
Free Wi-Fi and a TV in the lobby
The London House Hotel serves continental breakfast, for a surcharge, in a long, narrow seating area with a red banquette along one wall. There's an LCD TV and vending machines for snacks and hot drinks in the lobby. Free Wi-Fi is available to guests throughout the hotel. There's no restaurant on site, but there are plenty of places to eat within a short walk of the hotel.
