La posizione veramente comoda e il quartiere bello e sicuro
Non era molto pulito,e la moquette ovunque...
It was centrally located, we had a beautiful room over looking a garden, the hosts were responsive and it was very unique and charming. Continental breakfast in their dining room was lovely!
I didn’t mind this but we were on the top floor, if you have issues with stairs I wouldn’t recommend. Also would have been a nice touch if they brought our bags up for us. Slightly dated.
Aamiainen todella pelkistetty, leipää kahvia/teetä, ei mitään paistettua (kananmunat tai pekoni), kahvi todella hyvää!
La zona e la comodità dei mezzi pubblici.
Il letto scomodo e piccolo
Bon ubicació. Un hotel modest però força net. Esmorzar correcte. Personal molt amable.
Moqueta a l’habitació.
Kleines, sehr intimes Hotel in einem alten viktorianischen Haus. Sehr authentische Atmosphäre mit kleinen Skurrilitäten (das Haus vibriert leicht, vor allem in den unteren Zimmern, wenn die U-Bahn darunter fährt).
Konstruktionsbedingt eher kleine Räume, kein Aufzug (beschwerlich für Bewohner des dritten Stocks). Keine Klimaanlage
Nice area Spacious room for 4 ppl Comfortable bathroom
Noise of train
La localisation, la gentillesse du personnel et le fait de pouvoir laisser les valises avant et après la remise de la chambre et le petit dej
Flott beliggenhet
Mindre bra senger og puter. Kunne hatt engelsk frokost
La ubicación está muy bien,tiene una parada de metro cerca
Nos tocó la habitación de abajo del todo,pasa el metro por debajo y se oye bastante
Zona comodissima per qualsiasi spostamento, personale gentilissimo
Due volte la camera non è stata pulita
Morgenmaden var udmærket
Vi er 4 mennesker på et værelse og 2 af os skulle sove i en elendig slåud sofa. Den primær seng var fin
A lovely hotel. Staff were exceptionally considerate, going above and beyind. Loved our room and its facilities.. Beds very confortable. Nice area, convenient for tube.
Nothing.
Situation géographique proche bus et métro
Chambre pour 4. Le canapé lit est très inconfortable. Le petit déjeuner est rudimentaire. La chambre était infestée de punaises de lit, nous avions réservé l’hôtel pour 3 nuits et nous avons dû le quitté après avoir trouvé les insectes dans la lutherie après 2 nuits passées là bas. Piqûres constatées par le médecin à notre retour en France. L’hôtel nous atteste n’en n’avoir pas trouvé alors que nous avons amené des insectes écrasés à la réception dans un mouchoir et photos à l’appui ! Nous avons exigé le remboursement de notre séjour, qui a été fait seulement après notre prise de contact avec booking.
Great location, staff were super friendly we stayed during Notting hill carnival so the roads were closed to access the hotel but this wasn't an issue for us as we were attending also, the area is really very beautiful and we are excited to book another stay soon
The property was close to everything you could want, portobello road market, the tube station and a high street
The only extremely bad thing I can say is the lack of ventilation in hot weather, even with staying on the top floor and constantly having the window open and fan blowing it was still very hard to sleep and very humid
L'emplacement est excellent, la chambre était spacieuse et propre.
La climatisation dans la chambre serait un bonus, mais le ventilateur dépanne bien.
La posizione ottima ,hotel tipico inglese molto carino qualità prezzo ottimo camera familiare spaziosa bagno con doccia molto grande colazione non ricchissima ma con tutto l’essenziale
La moquette antica
la gentillesse du personnel très bien situé
il n’y a pas la climatisation dans la chambre il faisait vraiment très chaud
Está en muy buena zona y para ser Londres no fue tan caro
Posizione e rapporto qualità prezzo
Mancava l'ascensore!
Il personale era gentile anche se solo una di loro è stata in grado di gestire le nostre problematiche.
La stanza familiare ha un divano letto che fanno passare per due persone ma a malapena puo' ospitarne una. È comunque molto scomodo e dopo 3 notti si stava davvero male. Bagno piccolissimo e anche piuttosto mal ridotto.
Le dimensioni contenute e la particolarità della struttura
La moquette ovunque
La struttura è in ottima posizione e in un quartiere bellissimo e tranquillo, lo staff è gentilissimo e accogliente. La camera familiare era spaziosa con il bagno ristrutturato e pulito. La colazione era abbastanza varia sia per il dolce che per il salato. Se dovessi tornare a Londra penso che ritorneremo in questo hotel.
Lage und viktorianischer Stil …
Zimmer doch recht klein…

Locatie top, mochten eerder in onze kamer. Aardige vrouw bij receptie
37 graden in slaapkamer kregen het niet cool. We lagen in de kelder met een bed bank waar je de stalen latten voelde. Ontbijt matig
Albergo pulito in una posizione bellissima.. Notting Hill .. zona bella e tranquilla a due passi dalla metro... ottima colazione Camera spaziosa e soprattutto pulita!!
Piccoli dettagli da sistemare.. ( tipo tende bucata) ma per il resto lo consiglierei!!!
Emplacement incroyable et super employés très arrangeants et sympathiques
Ma chambre avait une vue sur un mur .. cependant la deuxieme chambre avait vue sur l’exterieur. C’est dommage pour le même prix payé pour les 2.. il n’y avait également pas de prises européennes donc ramenez-en avec vous et c’est niquel
Ι loved the location,the room was big and spacious,the bathroom was brand new,the breakfast was good
The price
The location was a short walking distance from nothinghill station. The breakfast was good met our families need.
The heat in the bathroom. The radiator dial was broken. No air conditioning in the room, however there was a fan.
The breakfast was great. The hotel staff were exceptional.
The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood close to public transport. The room is clean and match the photos. The staff is friendly and welcoming.
Offer more breakfast options.
Le petit-déjeuner aurait pu être mieux avec de la salade de fruits du bacon
有含早餐,早餐品質不錯
網路有點弱
Gute Lage (ruhig, trotzdem zentral), nettes Personal, alles unkompliziert, Frühstück ok, modernes sauberes Bad
The location and the staff.
The breakfast.
The location and breakfast are nice, the staff is welcoming, clean rooms.
Bed bugs on the first floor, hot fridges that didnt cool the food, closed windows on the first floor that were difficult to open because of dried paint, mound on the windows, a dripping tap in our room on the second floor, no windows on the 4-th floor in one of our rooms. There was a group of 27 people, we didn't like the hotel. The staff didn't mention the bed bugs, but moved us to another room, but next day new guests were accommodated there. It was terrible 😔😔😔. The owner, staff take care of money, bed bugs and moud.
È stato tutto perfetto. La posizione, la pulizia, la gentilezza dello staff, la colazione, e la comodità di poter lasciare i bagagli l'ultimo giorno dopo il check out. Grazie!
Posizione Quartiere Cordialità staff Struttura
Forse un pochino datato all’interno con moquette ovunque Asciugacapelli che non andava
Ubicación. Limpieza
Poca variedad en el desanyuno. No tiene aire no ascensor. Baño pequeño
L'emplacement est à 5 minutes à pied du métro. Le personnel est très gentil et serviable. La salle de bain est rénovée. Un ventilateur est disponible dans les chambres (canicule). Prises avec USB en plus des prises classiques au UK.
Le petit déjeuner peut être amélioré même s'il est complet. C'est toujours le même. On est à Londres, moquette au sol un peu vétuste, murs et fenêtre en papier comme souvent. Mobilier vétuste, mais bonne literie. Néanmoins, le quartier est calme. Au troisième étage, on doit grimper, mais on n'entend pas le métro.
Locatie, mooi hotel, netjes
Een kamer voor alleenstaande telkens zonder uitzicht. Keek tegen muur aan en was donker. Is niet fijn.
Bien placé proche du métro et au calme, super accueil et petit dej.
Il faisait très chaud dans la chambre car la fenêtre avait été laissée ouverte. Les nuits suivantes étaient bien.
Muy buen desayuno. Muy amable el personal y muy buena la habitación en planta 2, con excelente ubicación.
Solo la ducha no funcionaba nada bien.
Staff was great , welcome me greatly offer me to leave stuff before checkin. Lady on reception was great.
Room was on higher floor and it was bit hotter but its not fault of hotel, Fan done proper job
Esteriormente la casa, anche carina, un tipico stile vittoriano poi internamente ci sono tutti i limiti di ristrutturazioni non fatte fatte male
Ci sono ancora moquettes degli anni 70 la pulizia lascia molto a desidera cioè ad esempio una bellissima sala colazione, ma peccato che ci sono delle ragnatele nei vetri che hanno anni
Emplacement parfait. Station Notting Hill Gate à 2mns et quartier calme et magnifique. Personnel aux petits soins. Génial.
Die Lage ist wirklich super, kurzer Weg zum U-Bahnhof Notting Hill Gate, fußläufig zahlreiche Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Portobello Market und tolle Pubs in der Gegend! Es gab ein gutes Frühstück mit frischem Obst und leckerem Gebäck!
Räumlich für vier Personen etwas eng im Familienzimmer, aber in London ist man ja auch nur zum Schlafen im Hotel, dafür war es okay!
Merkezi konumu, victorian houses, kahvaltı güzel, çalışanlar güler yüzlü ve yardımsever.
Oda küçük, pencere açılmıyor, klima yok, vantilatör sabaha kadar çalıştı ve gürültü yapıyor. Kaliteli uyku uyuyamadım.
Me gustó mucho la ubicación del hotel. Y el personal fue muy atento.
La habitación no tiene aire acondicionado, solo un ventilador. La heladera no enfriaba bien. De hecho parecía que calentaba más que enfriar. Vendría bien una renovación de los cubrecamas. El de nuestra habitación estaba manchado. El desayuno nos resultó bastante básico y poco variado. Sería un punto a mejorar.
Gute Lage, schöne, ruhige Gegend,, aber trotzdem sehr verkehrsgünstig.
Winziges Doppelzimmer in der Dachgaube, Südseite und ohne Klimaanlage. Bei 28°C Außentemperatur mit nur einem kleinen Tischventilator war das nicht auszuhalten. Doppelbett mit ca. 1,40 m zu schmal, vor allem bei der Hitze. Bad sehr klein, aber sauber mit neuer Duche. Allerdings roch es aus den alten Rohren schlecht.
Läget är mycket centralt och mindre än 10 min promenad till tunnelbanan. Frukostbuffén var god och varierad.
Mattan i rummet var dammig och smutsig i hörnen och under borden. Kylen funkade inte, badrummet var som en bastu, sängen var hård och sängkläderna var sträva.
The beautiful leafy location, the very comfortable room and the friendliness of the staff.
The continental breakfast was perfectly acceptable and plentiful but was a little unimaginative. Would have been improved by less sugary cereals and authentic continental bread.
Die Lage war hervorragend. Nicht weit von U-Bahn Notting Hill Gate. Schöne sichere Gegend. Viele Essensmöglichkeiten. Portobello Road ums Eck u Hyde Park 8 min zu Fuß. Das Hotel ist älter aber sauber. Zimmer und Bad für London wirklich groß. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im "Keller" hier war das Bad renoviert. Matratzen gut. Fenster kann man auf machen hat aber keine Aussicht. Frühstück war ok. Tagsüber gibt es Wasser, O-Saft u Kaffee zur freien Verfügung.
Zimmer wurde während unseres 4 tägigen Aufenthalt nicht gereinigt u auch keine Handtücher ausgetauscht (war für uns aber ok) benutze Kaffebecher usw im Zimmer muss man selbst austauschen an der Rezeption. Hier waren dir Mitarbeiter nicht besonders motiviert. Das Frühstück war sehr einfach und qualitativ nicht besonders hoch, mich hat gestört das nichts gekühlt war und nicht genügend Sitzplätze für alle Gäste zur Verfügung standen. Man hört Tag u Nacht die U-Bahn fahren...
Comodità e servizi della zona, tranquillità della struttura
Niente da segnalare
Perfekt läge nära tunnelbanan, Kensington garden etc. Lugnt område.
Frukosten kunde vara mer omfattande med lite varm mat.
The staff
The room can receive an upgrade. It was very hot when we arrived, which is unusual for London, but they had 2 fans in the room to cool it down...the room is outdated but clean enough
El trato del personal muy agradable y simpáticos. El alojamiento tiene una excelente ubicación.
Un poquito viejito
L’ottima posizione, la zona molto bella e tranquilla. Comodo ai servizi e ai traporti. Colazione buona e varia.
Excelente ubicación cerca de metro pero en zona tranquila para descansar.
Poca variedad en desayuno.
Le personnel charmant et attentionné, le charme du bâtiment et du quartier, la situation centrale tout près de Portobello Road...
Équipement salle de bain (aucun porte serviettes et manque de papier hygiénique). Qualité du canapé lit très moyenne.
Molto bello confortevole estremamente disponibile il personale molto ampia la camera doppia un po' piccola la singola. Il bagno in camera completo e molto pulito. Buona l'insonorizzazione. Posizione spettacolare sia per servizi che metro
Peccato per la mancanza di climatizzazione nella stanza singola il ventilatore non stava dietro a rinfrescare mentre nella doppia la temperatura era accettabile
L'accueil de Claudia, aux petits soins avec nous, chambre spacieuse pour 5, petit extérieur sympathique , petit en cas toujours disponible . Le service est pour beaucoup dans la qualité de l'établissement
Un peu cher, manque de services: petit déjeuner pas assez fourni, ménage très succinct, tv ne fonctionnait pas, ni le sèche cheveux de la salle de bain, frigo de chambre qui chauffait pas mal
La gentilezza e la cortesia dello staff, la vicinanza alla metro, il quartiere.
Assenza dell'ascensore, moquette ai pavimenti, pulizia un po' approssimativa
Calme Proximité du métro (5min)
Lits petits et d'un confort moyen
The staff were really friendly and it was a great location!
L’emplacement est exceptionnel pour qui cherche un quartier calme, très verdoyant, élégant et avec le métro à proximité, et de la vie (restaurants, Porto Bello Road,…) à quelques mètres.
Rien
Very quiet area. A lovely ”secret garden” for breakfast. Close to Hyde Park and Underground. Perfect for families or anyone who’s looking for a quiet and peaceful time. Very friendly staff.
Personnel très sympathique, grand confort et superbe emplacement. Très bon petit déjeuner
Rien
We recently stayed here as a family of four. Brilliant location , staff were very friendly and accommodating , clean spacious and a lovely breakfast would definitely stay again.
La ubicación es ideal, en una casa de época en Notting Hill.
Nos alojaron en la última planta y hacía muchísimo calor en la habitación todo el rato. Ni con la ventana abierta entraba aire. Por la noche fue horrible el calor que hacía dentro. Solo había un ventilador que no ayudaba mucho para refrescar. No podíamos dormir muy bien por esa razón. No hay persiana ni cortina oscura y de buena madrugada entrar mucha luz. El desayuno e muy básico.
Helt topp beliggenhet! God pris. Fint nyoppusset bad.
4 etasjer uten heis og ingen aircondition. Vi lå i øverste etasje og det var så varmt at det var umulig å sove. Det er greit at ikke de reklamerer med heis og aircondition, men de sier heller ingenting om at de ikke har det, så der ble vi dessverre litt skuffet når vi skjønte det. Vinduet fremstod med noe som lignet mugg, og det kunne vært rengjort bedre. Men alt i alt et helt ok sted for 1 natt eller 2 hvis man ikke har noe imot trapper og varme.
Location and room size
No air conditioning when it was 30 degrees
Śniadanie dobre. Personel bardzo miły. Lokalizacja bardzo dobra.

Buena ubicación a 5 min del metro en zona tranquila, habitación familiar muy amplia, camas cómodas, limpia, con ventilador estuvimos bien a pesar de la ola de calor. Personal muy amable y servicial. Desayuno muy bueno
Die Lage und das neue Badezimmer
Die Zimmergröße, die laute Toilettenspülung und der schiefe Boden und somit das schiefe Bett
The room is comfortable. Staff is friendly and helpful. Location is safe and convenient. Underground is 5 min walk away. We could also store our lugguage in a locked lugguage room.
Situat en una zona tranquil•la de Notting Hill, a menys de 10 minuts de dues estacions de metro. El personal amb ganes d’ajudar. Vam demanar canviar d’habitació perquè a la nostra feia molta calor i l’endemà ens en van donar una de millor en una zona menys calorosa.
No està adaptat per a la calor, a la planta de dalt l’habitació estava molt calenta i era molt difícil dormir. Era durant uns dies de calor excepcional. No té ascensor.
La ubicación y la ducha, que está muy bien.
Las instalaciones deficientes: frigorífico no enfriaba, no había aire acondicionado, el monomando del baño flojo, muy sucio, limpieza deficiente, un día nos pusieron una toalla de ducha de menos, el ruido del metro era molesto por la noche (nos tocó una habitación en la planta baja) y las camas eran muy incómodas la de matrimonio tenía un bulto en el centro que te tiraba para los lados.
Otelin konumu ...çalışanlar güler yüzlü idi
Saat 10 da kapıların ve lobynin kapanması .saat 7 den önce açılmaması..
Staff are kind and and helpful. Location is good and quite.
I had a single room and the room was too small. It was so hot and humid in the room. No AC, and poor ventilation. Even though there was a small ventilator, it didn’t help anything. I was sweating and couldn’t breath properly. The furnitures are also old and the bathroom needs a proper cleaning. It was one of cheapest hotels I could find in central London, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll come here for the second time due to bad ventilation.
Breakfast was great, and the room had everything we needed.
As there was no air-conditioning, the rooms were extremely hot. We were provided with a fan, however it was not strong enough for the heat in the room. Also there were a lot of stairs up to our room, and after a day of travelling and exploring in London, it was very tiring.
