The 30 Best Guesthouse accommodation in London

“What a lovely cottage, beautifully renovated and comfortable. Nuela is a wonderful host, making us feel very welcome, she is also an excellent cook. April House is located near the local high street with restaurants and public transport which made our stay so easy. We will certainly return again next year.”

“We spent two nights at the “more than” Goodenough Guest House. Andy, the host, was very kind and served us robust English breakfasts each morning. We stayed in the loft room which was perfect for my son and me, visiting family just down the road where there was a full house. I loved the large bathtub. At 6’4” (193 cm) I appreciated the large soaking tub in the bath, where there was also a shower. One should know, no lift and no air conditioning. Didn’t bother us. We were lucky with weather and the air was cool at the end of July and the neighborhood quiet, so we could have the windows opened. The beds were comfortable, and a nice sofa to have a cup of tea, play a card game and relax. Short walk to the train. Totally clean! We loved it and will return!”

“A great blend of friendly locals, both young and old, with lively fun entertainment in the evenings. The bar team, led by Serena, is impressively efficient, and the prices are very reasonable. I’ve been guiding walks along the lost Hackney Brook for the past few months, and we’ve ended up here afterwards for a few hours—everyone always leaves smiling. Easily one of my top ten pubs in London, and truly a gem in the heart of Hackney.”

“Lovely breakfast, quiet room and a quiet pretty street, good bed. The guest house overlooks a little park. We have enjoyed our stay very much.”

“this place is perfect for Wembley, 5 minutes walk to the tube and then 6 minutes to Wembley, the host is lovely, very clean room with toilet and shower, there a 3 parking spots on the drive, at weekend you can park on the road,”

“The host is super friendly. The place is clean and very close to train station.”

“Host was so friendly and went above and beyond for us. Really made our stay 10/10, rooms were so clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Will 100% stay again”

“Great stay and hospitality received throughout!”

“Fantastic hotel and Fantastic staff couldn't do enough for us thanku martyn”

“I got exactly what I expected. The host was friendly when I arrived (which was close to the cutoff at 11 p.m. because of a flight delay), and he took me to my room. The room and restroom were very neat and clean for the price range, and I would recommend this place to anyone needing an affordable option near Heathrow. Also the location is less than a 10 minute walk to a bus station that has routes straight to the airport.”

“Stopped here a few times while working away - Betty is an absolute diamond - happy to help and always smiling and up for a chat - would highly recommend a stay at Sunnyside”

“I went to this beautiful quiet convent for a day retreat. I had unlimited tea/ coffee with biscuits and a delicious hot meal for a nominal price. Sister Julia really looked after me.”

“We just returned from a week safari in South Africa organized by ATR and have nothing but positive reviews! This was our first safari and the ATR team was invaluable in the planning as we reviewed multiple itineraries and made numerous adjustments until we landed on the right combination of stays. The end result was exactly what we envisioned and every detail was covered. We could not have asked for a better experience and while everything went flawlessly, it was great comfort knowing the ATR team was only a call away should anything arise.”

“We loved staying at Bay Tree House. Our host was great. The breakfasts were wonderful and carried us through our busy day until dinner (tea). We had a comfortable bed and room with ensuite, close to underground Piccadilly line, bus stops, shops, laundromat and a neighbourhood pub. Our host was helpful, kind, supportive, and available. We would definitely stay again.”

“Monica was the most helpful, accommodating and friendly. The bed was immensely comfortable.the TV was displaying a connection issue but that's trivial and manageable. Overall an excellent place to stay.”

“I would 100% recommend these rooms wholeheartedly. They were beautiful! ( 2 rooms booked) including a family room for 4. Spotlessly clean, large beautiful rooms with far more provided than we expected.m, inc tea and coffee tray nice soaps etc. Lovely location with ample parking. Even the sheets were luxurious. Also access to an ironing board snd iron, which came in very handy. We arrived late, and the owner came out to make sure we were sorted. Honestly can't praise enough, thank you!”

“Old English mansion in a rural English town. Comfortable and interesting. The owner Sarah is fantastic. Around 45 minutes away from London city center, but a good communication using the Elizabeth Lane trains. Pubs and stores located nearby.”

“Would recommend highly. Rooms a little tired but absolutely fine and clean. Great breakfast and lovely helpful owner”

“Ramsay Hall is best described by one word: functionality. It's not comfy or flashy, but it serves its purpose. An unbeatable location for UCL students moving to London for the first time. The building is old and certainly has its quirks, but if you run into problems, the staff--Saiful, Sarka, and Ellery among many others--are kind and helpful. To the extent other reviews on here say the staff aren't friendly or helpful, I'd expect that they're coming from pampered students who didn't treat the staff with respect. If you're a UCL student looking for accommodation in your first year, hope for Ramsay. It'll be memorable and you'll be in a top-tier location.”

“Great value, quiet, old fashioned style guest house. Good location for Heathrow with plenty of amenities nearby.”

“A wonderful property; very old and full of character and history. Asco is a fantastic host, very helpful attentive and charming. Very highly recommended”

“As surprised as I am, I have to give 5 stars! It was a great stay, considering it is a 3 star, budget hotel. Rooms were very clean, a bit tired but spotless. The carpet must have been laid out recently because it was still fluffy and soft. I loved the idea of open space underneath the bed as you can easily hoover under and there is no old dust lingering there. There was no musty smell in the rooms and the corridors smelled of fresh cleaning procucts. Our daughter praised the comfort of the kids bed (no springs digging in her body). The food was good, both dinner and breakfast, small buffet but sufficient enough for warm and cold options. I forgot to mention the welcome card on our desk and 2 christmas colouring cards for our daughter which is some serious 5 star hotel add on :) It wasn't perfect but it was surprisingly quiet for a full capacity and we enjoyed our stay throughoutly.”

“We had a fantastic day in Wazuka and Uji (On the tea road) with Charles. His passion for his subject and knowledge were exceptional. It was such a wonderfully personal experience which my husband and I will treasure. Thank you Charles for making our day so special!”

“I felt compelled to write a review because I have been in contact with Samir at Maldives/ Mauritius Holidays Direct & his level of customer service has been outstanding. His advice & knowledge of the hotels in Maldives has been invaluable. He has been patient, professional & gone above & beyond in terms of finding information for us.”

“Thank you Anna Maria for your welcoming stay, we’ll be back soon !”

“I would like to thankyou for a lovely stay at your guesthouse. The room was clean and well equipped,and the staff were friendly and helpfull. We will certainly be stopping with you again.”

“I stayed at this hostel for one week and really enjoyed my time. The food was good, the bed was comfortable, and the cleaning service was consistent. The staff was friendly, and everything was well-organized. Great value for the price — I would stay again!”
