Great value for money in the best location. Clean, quality hotel at a reasonable price.

Enjoyed staying there a lot, the location is excellent, the room and the bathroom were very clean, the staff was nice and helpful, and it was very quiet. Strongly recommended if you're not a big hostel type but prefer staying in a hotel instead. It is rather expensive but it's worth the price.

Private bathrooms, great location, fairly expensive but a great option if you're looking for a hotel rather than a hostel environment.

My sister and I stayed one night over New Year and found it a very pleasant place. It is near the underground and easy to find. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room clean and quiet and I would stay there again.

Was dismayed at the size of the room, nigh impossible to squeeze into the shower past the toilet which you almost fell into when alighting from the shower. The trickle of water that dribbled from the shower was barely enough to wash with. The tarrif for the breakfast was unreasonable given the price of the room. For those like myself who can only tolerate tast for breakfast this option wasn't available for a cheaper rate which meant having to seek out even more expensive options elsewhere.

My friend and I had to switch from another hostel and this place was like heaven. The beds were super comfortable, towels, hairdryer, and a safe were provided, and the room had a TV in it. Minutes walk to the underground, and Kensington Gardens. Would recommend it to anyone!

Staff were excellent and very friendly and helpful, we arrived at 6am and they let us check in which was great. Rooms are a little small, but we were more than happy with this as we didnt spend alot of time in there. Toilet wasnt great as im tall and had to sit sideways as the basin was too close. Bed was ok, tho pillows not too good. Over all we were happy with our stay, and would return,

The area is really great, lots of restaurants nearby, close to a train station. The rooms are small, however really clean, and the bathroom was great. Most comfortable bed I have slept on throughout Europe/ UK!! I paid extra for wifi in my room, however the internet reception was terrible, so I couldn't really use it. Although the free wifi in the foyer was available. Overall I enjoyed staying at the London House Hotel.

Really nice, clean hotel. Small room but no issues with that - would have been good to have a door stop to hold the bathroom door open though as it got very hot and steamy and the fan couldn't quite keep up.

Loved the hotel and would gladly stay here again. Was disappointed not to be able to use the laundry facilities. The night staff had no idea where the coins were to operate them.

Great Hostel, Great location (just take the 16 or 24 to Museum Place and it\'s less the 100m from the stop) Very helpful staff. I liked it so much I came back here after a few days in a hotel (booked b4 I went to Annemarie) If I\'m in Amsterdam again I know where I\'m staying!
