I chose this property for the location and cost and although the rooms were clean the property is very shabby, worn and depressing. I was expecting a budget property but the paint was peeling off the walls and the carpets were torn and it doesn't take much to put a coat of paint on to freshen things up and repair the carpeting. It just made me feel depressed going there. If you ujst want a clean place to sleep in a good location and cheap this fits the bill. But I personally don't like to feel that I have to escape my hotel room and be gone all day. I like having a comfy and cheery place to relax in between sightseeing. It just wasn't a place that I wanted to come back to to relax and I felt skeevy staying there.

We have stayed at many hotels over the years, often luxury ones with impeccable details and fantastic designs.

Avoca House was our choice as we had a tour of the Lords Cricket Ground scheduled for the next day. The room we had was spacious and pretty, the breakfast is good and the distance to the gorund is hardly a 10 min. drive. The garden may be small, but it’s a relaxing and quiet place.

Not many options for food, but the rooms are spacious with huge full length windows. The caretaker is a very pleasant man and is ready to help and make your stay comfortable.

Avoca House is a place you would definitely come back to and recommend to your friends. Thank you very much for making our stay so pleasant!!!

This 'No Frills' place is awesome and a true find for anyone on a budget who is looking for a great, peaceful place to stay in a nice area of London; this is my second visit and will not be my last .... that's for sure! This place has really friendly, polite staff and provides everything you need for a clean, comfortable and enjoyable stay, despite being old fashioned. I like privacy and peace when I go away, this is my uppermost requirement; the AHH offers both and is exceptional value for money at £49 per night. I love this place and I'm really looking forward to my next visit, its a pleasure to stay with these people ...... thanks once again guys!

This small house hotel suits me and my flexbility....As if I am at home ... I arrived on Satuarday earlier than the check in time to find a room ready after a long journey. Just filled a form and direct to the room. I was given the code for the internet, which was very helpful for me, as without that it would be difficult. I use it for emails and communication The instructions for the use of the facility were clear when I booked over the phone from New York . A hotel attendant with the Name Rohan was elaborative and clearly informed me over the phone ahead of time of all my needs and the where abouts of resturants, stations...etc I do not have to take a taxi from the Heathrow as told about the underground services to Swiss Cottage. Google maps and earth did the rest.
My brother was astonished to discover that I know all of the Belsize resturants Cafes and areas of interest. The hotel is quiet. I usually leave in the morning and come at 5 Then again from 7 to midnight. I recomend this hotel for one who is independent and want to have fun in the city. Just remember to buy a transportation card for the period you are staying and use trains buses ...etc
