Bottom Line
The family-run, 22-room Star Hotel B&B is a quaint budget hotel in the quiet Shepherd’s Bush neighborhood of London. While the hotel’s offerings are modest, it has a homey feel. Accommodations range from quite small single-bed rooms to moderately sized four-bed ones, which could fit a whole family. Rooms are simple but well kept, with colorful design details that warm up the space. Bathrooms are fairly small but renovated and clean. Continental breakfast and Wi-Fi are free.

Scene
Basic B&B, still offers some charm
The Star Hotel B&B is well-kept and welcoming. Behind the hotel's gated entrance is a small, sunlit patio with a picnic table and a number of potted plants of different sizes. There's little space to move in the lobby, but the breakfast room feels like a classic cafe with blue cushioned booths and a skylight that extends across half the room. While its convenient location and in-room Wi-Fi could attract a variety of business and leisure travelers, the Star Hotel is best suited for low-maintenance guests hoping to see London on a budget, in particular families, since the larger Quad Rooms are more affordable than the average hotel suite.
Location
In a quieter neighborhood, but near shops, restaurants, and several train lines
The Star Hotel B&B is located in the Shepherd’s Bush neighborhood of west London. While the area is primarily residential, the hotel is by no means isolated, surrounded by shops, cafes, and restaurants. The hotel is within a ten-minute walk of the Hammersmith, Shepherd’s Bush, and Kensington Tube stops, which provide access to the Overground, Central, District, Piccadilly, Circle, and Hammersmith train lines. For those driving, things are less convenient. There is no parking at the Star Hotel; you must find a space along the side streets.
Rooms
Small to moderate in size; basic but not without pleasant detail
Rooms range from quite small to moderate in size, depending on the type and number of beds necessary. The single room is rather cramped, with a twin bed, small desk, and armoire, but in general, the rooms get at least slightly more spacious from there. While the green carpets and patterned bedspreads are old and unflattering, small details such as a red accent pillows and red and gold curtains give the rooms warmth and character. All rooms come with a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, and a kettle for coffee and tea. Bathrooms are fairly small, but clean and modern, including mirrors with built-in lights (and sometimes a digital clock) and heated towel racks.
Features
Breakfast room and small garden
The Star Hotel B&B sets itself apart from other budget options with the care and detail it’s put into its spaces. The breakfast room, while nothing fancy, is charming in its café-like décor, with blue-cushioned seats and vibrant photographs of fruits, vegetables, and simple European scenes. The small front patio is also a lovely feature, with a welcoming picnic table and a small garden of potted plants. The hotel provides free continental breakfast and in-room Wi-Fi to all guests.
