A beautiful period guest house in Kilburn, The Black Lion Pub & Boutique Guesthouse offers free WiFi, a popular bar and a restaurant in North West London. Buses to Marble Arch, Paddington and Victoria run from just outside the building.

Above this old pub was a treat to stay in. The rooms were small but perfect for our one night stay as they provided all the comforts needed in a fresh and modern space. Very quiet.

In the heart of Wimbledon Village, the Rose and Crown Hotel has air-conditioned bedrooms with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs with Sky HD channels, including Movies and Sports channels.

Guests can enjoy award-winning beers and freshly cooked pub meals in a relaxed environment. There is a heated patio terrace for outdoor meals and drinks.

It was all very good, the bedroom and bathroom were well equipped and comfortable, everything worked, the food was excellent and the staff friendly. It has a pleasant location in Wimbledon Village, about 20 minutes invigorating walk from Wimbledon tube / train station but also on a bus route. I would like to stay here again if I'm working in West London or visiting the city. It is better value than the chain hotels and a much nicer experience.

    It was a great hostel experience. The location was perfect, near the city center, even by walk and also quiet and lovely neighborhood. All areas were neat and very organized. The breakfast was simple but value for money. The team there is very friendly and seems like they put love on their project.

    Great location- about 10 minutes on bus or tube from the middle of London, won't say it's the nicest neighborhood in the world but lively and loads of nice, cheap food places just up the road. Beds are comfy, plenty of floor space to pack and unpack. Everyone in my room was really quiet and respectful of each other which was refreshing! Staff are also lovely and very friendly. Will definitely be back- my new go-to London hostel.

    Convenient hostel located just next to a metro station. Each bed is equipped with power sockets, personal light and a curtain, which allows for some privacy inside an otherwise big dorm. It was possible to work from the hostel since there are some quiet areas, and there are some places to eat around, cheaper than in the city center.

    There's so much to like. Great value, very clean, great breakfast, great location and, most of all, a great host. It is 2 mins walk to the station for trains into London or South. It is incredibly quiet - I slept with the window open and heard no noise all night and I'm a very light sleeper. Fabulous value.

    It is a lovely guest house in a great location. The pub is very good for drinks and food. The bus service is excellent to the city centre. Stoke Newington is a very attractive area with good shops and cafes. Clissold Park is right beside the guesthouse and it is lovely for walks.

    Great location on a quiet street in the now gentrified Kings Cross area. Lovely and usual design concept. Really comfortable bed. Really charming and helpful hosts. I wished I could stay longer. It's really a perfect base with everything you need for exploring London.
