Best hotel bed I’ve ever slept in. Access to the bus and train was pretty convenient. Gamal was very helpful and went above and beyond to try to make us feel welcome and navigate the European eccentricities. The kitchen made it easy to have quick meals, without relying solely on takeout. Perfect place to relax after a long day of traveling.

The guest house is equipped with a satellite flat-screen TV. A private entrance leads guests into the guest house, where they can enjoy some wine or champagne and fruits. This guest house is allergy-free and non-smoking.

It was the best accommodation experience possible. Tommy really made us feel at home. In my opinion, the house is located in the most beautiful part of London. You can reach Queensway tube station in ten minutes. You can also walk to Hyde Park in ten minutes. There are also great restaurants and markets near the house. You can access everything you need. I go very prepared for my travels because I don't know what I will encounter, but if I had known that this house was so well-equipped, I would have made less preparations. This house has a converter for European sockets, a coffee machine, snacks and everything you might need in a house. Everything has been considered and aesthetics have not been sacrificed. It is a very nice apartment and is located in a wonderful garden. Watching the squirrels passing through the garden while drinking your coffee in the morning feels really great. The room and bathroom are very clean and comfortable. During our trip, we tried to cope with our desire to go home. The peace of the environment seems to beckon you to it. Tommy's surprises and his wonderful dog Blanco are other things that will make this house indispensable. In summary, it is a very peaceful and comfortable place that you can choose with peace of mind for a wonderful accommodation experience. Enjoy it. Thanks again to Tommy and Harolda for everything. Hoping to see you as soon as possible...

A beautiful period guest house in Kilburn, The Black Lion Pub & Boutique Guesthouse offers free WiFi, a popular bar and a restaurant in North West London. Buses to Marble Arch, Paddington and Victoria run from just outside the building.

Above this old pub was a treat to stay in. The rooms were small but perfect for our one night stay as they provided all the comforts needed in a fresh and modern space. Very quiet.

    It was a great hostel experience. The location was perfect, near the city center, even by walk and also quiet and lovely neighborhood. All areas were neat and very organized. The breakfast was simple but value for money. The team there is very friendly and seems like they put love on their project.

    Great location- about 10 minutes on bus or tube from the middle of London, won't say it's the nicest neighborhood in the world but lively and loads of nice, cheap food places just up the road. Beds are comfy, plenty of floor space to pack and unpack. Everyone in my room was really quiet and respectful of each other which was refreshing! Staff are also lovely and very friendly. Will definitely be back- my new go-to London hostel.

    Convenient hostel located just next to a metro station. Each bed is equipped with power sockets, personal light and a curtain, which allows for some privacy inside an otherwise big dorm. It was possible to work from the hostel since there are some quiet areas, and there are some places to eat around, cheaper than in the city center.

    There's so much to like. Great value, very clean, great breakfast, great location and, most of all, a great host. It is 2 mins walk to the station for trains into London or South. It is incredibly quiet - I slept with the window open and heard no noise all night and I'm a very light sleeper. Fabulous value.

    It is a lovely guest house in a great location. The pub is very good for drinks and food. The bus service is excellent to the city centre. Stoke Newington is a very attractive area with good shops and cafes. Clissold Park is right beside the guesthouse and it is lovely for walks.

    Great location on a quiet street in the now gentrified Kings Cross area. Lovely and usual design concept. Really comfortable bed. Really charming and helpful hosts. I wished I could stay longer. It's really a perfect base with everything you need for exploring London.
