Spent 3 nights in this good B&B, close to the rail station and just a 15 minute train ride from Victoria Station. The room was clean and adequate, the breakfast was delicious and plentiful(one of the best during our two week UK visit). Frances, the hostess & her husband (sorry forgot his name) were most helpful in providing answers to... More

We were two couples staying in two double rooms for three nights in a building separate from the main house. We did like that situation but the bathrooms were TINY. We drove to the B&B (mistake!!) It was very difficult to find by car. But on a positive note, our friends had an issue with limited lighting the first morning... More

Two friends and I stayed in the three-bed room on the top floor. The B&B is outside of downtown London, but the short train ride and walk are worth it. The room was clean and comfortable, and breakfast was a pleasant surprise with both traditional English dishes to try and familiar choices for those Americans less inclined to experiment. The...

I spent several days at this lovely B&B, located just a 15 minute train ride from Victoria Station. It was under renovations, but the room was clean and adequate, the meals were delicious and plentiful, and Frances the hostess was most helpful in providing answers to my questions. It's simple and plain with no frills, and it's a great bargain. More

My wife and I stayed there on August 10/11, 2011. Very, very nice accommodation with a nice breakfast. Frances, the owner, is very knowledgeable of everything that has to do with London: transportation, restaurants, attactions, etc. Enjoy your visit in London and rest at Melrose House. : More

Melrose House is an excellent choice if you prefer staying in residential areas (cheaper and quieter) and taking small rides to the center. The train station is a 2 minutes walk, so is the supermarket and various local shops. A pub is nearby too (for some beers). The rooms are neither big or small, with a typical British style and...

Melrose House B&B has got to be one of the best kept secrets in London. Tastefuly decorated and spacious rooms and suitable for couples and families. Francis who owns and runs this accomodation is a wealth of knowledge for many of the tourist destinations of both the centre of London and its surrounds. She is both welcoming and friendly and...

We arrived early at the b&b and as our room was not ready we were given our key and allowed to leave our bags which were put into the room after it had been cleaned etc. This was helpfull and allowed us more time to explore. The room was ok, bed a little hard and a bit dated but the... More

The worst place that I have had the misfortune to stay at. The owner was rude and condescending, the room had no air con and the portable fan did not work. The milk supplied for coffee was off and to top it off when I requested an iron for use as I had a business meeting The response was "well... More

I am sorry that this guest was unhappy with us but feel I have to respond. Our breakfast cook, quite rightly, could not bother other guests very early in the morning to find the missing iron and ironing board. We were not aware until very early in the morning that these were needed elsewhere. Fortunately the delinquent iron turned up... More
