Independent Notting Hill hotels in London, England

A delightful small hotel centrally situated in Notting Hill Gate. Lovely staff, helpful and friendly. A really exceptional and comfortable stay.

Staff was wonderful, room was cozy, experience was very personal and lovely.

Needed a Hotel in the Notting Hill area as we had an 8am meeting in Notting Hill. Only a one night stay but this Hotel proved to be exactly what we required. We booked an executive room which turned out to be on the 3rd floor (room 47) and it was excellent. Good sized room, clean, with kitchenette/ settee TV in separate room. Only 50 yards from the Underground on the Central line. Plenty of Banks, restaurants, chemists and even cinema nearby and a Tesco supermarket only 100 yards away. Slightly on the down side - Photo ID is required at check in, although I did not see that it was a requirement when I booked or when confirmation was received. Being from the UK we do not carry passports with us so this seemed to cause the Receptionist a bit of a problem - eventually I convinced him that we were who we were !! Also there was plenty of Police activity (sirens etc) after 10pm and again in the early hours so you need to be sensible and street wise if out late.

Great location (for me,at least). Only one complaint. The telephones. One cannot make calls from the rooms. At the beginning of my stay I was able to receive calls, but then that too failed and I had to go down to reception to take calls. My room, being at the top of this liftless hostel made it most inconvenient for me who does not have a mobile phone. That said, the room was adequate, the bathroom much better than I expected. Breakfast was just what I required--coffee or tea, orange juice, choice of 3 cereals, and toast. Much better than the full English. Charming square with most of the houses converted to private primary schools. The value for money cannot be beat for all of London. When I return to London I will stay here again.

Was a pleasant apartment. Decent amount of room, quite clean, fantastic location. I think for what you pay, it's quite decent. Would go there again and recommend to a friend.

Excellent budget B&B in the middle of London - very close to transport and shops. Breakfast in the room was fantastic. Bea really takes the time to look after you - much thanks to her!
