I stayed for a 5 nights whilst on a working trip. The location is superb for access to a multitude of famous/popular sites.
The Notting hill carnival was out of this world (but thankfully it is only 2 nights a year).
The good points far outweigh the bad. Yes.. some furniture is old. Maybe milk in fridge was off.. but I enjoy the stay. The owner, Mrs Bea, was very polite and helped me immensely when I was looking for some places to find food late at night, as she cooked a meal for me at 11pm. Not what the guest house is about, but shows the willingness to please.
The noise of the traffic was quite something to get used to, but when window closed it was OK. Dont know if the tv worked as wasn't interested in it, but it was there. The radio worked well. As did the microwave and the cooker. The en-suite toilet/shower facilities are a little small, but plenty enough for one person. No good for an bunch of people to shower simultaneously.
Phone reception was great. WIFI was great (ask for the WPA key on arrival).
Therre was some noise from the guard dogs downstairs in the private area when the doorbell rang, but to be expected from guard dogs.
The breakfast was prompt, and catered for my special diet (extra large). :D
I enjoyed my stay. I'd go so far as to say I had very good value for money for the price of the room. All you complainers should seek out the Hilton.. what you expecting?
thankyou for my stay Mrs Bea, Andreas and the other cleaning lady. :D.. Appreciated.
