Guest Reviews
- Ann-Sofi (8/5): -
- Enrico (8/5): - Situato in un bellissimo quartiere e vicino alla fermata della metro
- Julia (7/5): Nett, Urig & Heiß - Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung. Es war sauber. Nett und Urig. Wir hatten tolles Wetter, über 30 Grad was ungewöhnlich für London war. Wie schon einige in den Rezensionen geschrieben haben, war es deshalb heiß im Zimmer und zwar leider richtig unangenehm heiß. Schlafen nachts war deshalb nur kaum bzw. sehr unangenehm möglich. Es gibt zwar einen Deckenventilator, aber der macht natürlich Geräusche.
Ich würde die Unterkunft deshalb wirklich nur zur kalten Jahreszeit empfehlen.
- Garrie (10/5): Great place to stay near central London, also Hampstead Heath for a walk in the park and they serve a nice breakfast. -
- Adrian (7/5): -
- Petra (10/5): Bývanie ako u rodiny - Náš pobyt bol naozaj výnimočný. Uchvátila nás čarovná Hampstead village s rozľahlým zeleným parkom Heath, uličkami, domčekmi a prevádzkami. Do Londýna išlo metro, o pár min sme sa mohli prechádzať popri Big Ben-e.:)
Ubytovanie La Gaffe prekonalo všetky naše očakávania predovšetkým vďaka mimoriadne priateľskému a láskavému pánu majiteľovi a jeho personálu. Cítili sme sa ako u rodiny.:) Sme nenároční cestovatelia, takže chýbajúci výťah a menšia izbička nám nevadili. Ocenili sme prakticky a zároveň útulne zariadenú izbičku. K dispozícii boli štuple do uší, ak by nás rušil ruch ulice. Po schodoch sme chodili radi, brali sme to ako rozcvičku pred objavovaním village a mesta Londýn.:)
Niekomu môže chýbať bohatý raňajkový bufet, my sme boli vďační za skromné, vyvážené raňajky - skvelá vec, keď chce byť človek fit.:) Po kapučíne od pána majiteľa mohlo začať naše ďalšie dobrodružstvo.:)
- STEFANO (10/5): -
- Magdaléna (10/5): Nejmilejší ubytování, co jsem kdy zažila a určitě se někdy chci vrátit! - Celé ubytování bylo skvělé, a to hlavně díky neobvykle milému personálu! Navíc bylo možné si zde i po check outu nechat uložená zavazadla, což jsme velmi uvítali.
- Eva (9/5): Mysigt hotell i Londons bästa område - Bra som alltid! Inte första gången vi bodde på detta mysiga hotell!
Ägaren och personal väldigt serviceinriktade och man känner sig som hemma• Synd att restaurangen för kvällsmat fått slå igen. Den var väldigt trevlig. Dock får man bra frukost där. Bästa kaffet.
- Ancsa1 (8/5): - Nagyon jó helyen van, biztonságos zöldövezetben. Közel a metro ,busz.
Személyzet kedves és segítőkész. Reggeli nem túl változatos,de szerintem teljesen rendben van. Mindennap friss pékáru, narancslé, kávé kívánság szerint. Falak nagyon vékonyak,igy a folyosón, késő este közlekedő szomszédok nagyon zavaróak voltak . Ajtókat csapkodták, amitől remegett minden. Ez nyilván vendégfüggő is.
- MAKSIM (9/5): -
- Robyn (10/5): La Gaffe feeks like home - La Gaffe is like staying with family. Relaxed, professional servics from friendly and very helpful staff.
As a returning visitor, I choose to stay at La Gaffe when in London because it is very comfortable, conveniently located near Hampstead Heath and Hampstead High Street and close to Hampstead station.
Rooms are cosy and have all facilities.
Breakfast is included and is a chance to chat with other guests if you choose. The coffee is amazing. Nothing

- Puccinelli (9/5): - Gentilezza dello staff
Posizione
- Bart (7/5): Fit for purpose. - Locatie was helemaal top, op 5 minuten lopen van het metrostation Hampstead aan the Northern line. De douche was of koud, of kokend heet

- J. SCOTT (9/5): Very nice small hotel in a lovely neighborhood but still very convenient to central London. - Not a luxury hotel but I loved the location, in a lovely neighborhood away from the crowds of central London but just a short train ride in. Small but comfortable, wonderful staff. Highly recommend if you like a boutique hotel with lots of history. Steep stairs could be an issue if you have an upper room. Hot water ran out on one morning.

- SHINICHI (7/5): 昔ながらの旅の宿 - 地下鉄の駅から坂道を登っていかなければならないが、ハムステッドヒースが散歩コースになる。 古いから仕方ないがトランクを持って階段を上がらなければならない。
- Susannah (10/5): -

It is a good stay for short breaks.
- chizuk (9/5): リラックス - ハムステッドの静かな街の道路沿いにあり、3年前にも泊まり様子もわかっていたのでリラックスして過ごす事ができました。朝食は温かいものはありませんがハム、チーズ、果物、パン、シリアル、ヨーグルト、コーヒー、茹で卵、紅茶、ジュースなど十分でした。
- Carla (7/5): Ich möchte nochmal hin! - Personal ( sehr freundlich), Frühstück, Lage Das Fenster im Schlafzimmer

- Lorenzo (8/5): -
- Martin (8/5): Warm friendly place too stay - The hotel was friendly and warm breakfast was fine the owners were chatty and never bothered us Not a great lover of a buffet breakfast would of liked a full English option but not a major problem
- Christine (9/5): Charming B and B in Hampstead - The room we selected had a huge bathtub. Perfect to soak away the days spent exploring. Charming and attentive staff. Located close to Hampstead metro station. Like lots of UK properties... stairs to rooms. It is only awkward twice. Getting in and getting out. A very minor inconvenience. But not for mobility challenged.
- Silvia (8/5): -
- Icíar (10/5): - Nos encantó la zona, tranquila pero preciosa. Y muy bien comunicada, en poco tiempo estás en el centro y en todas las "atracciones" principales de la ciudad. El hotel es acogedor y práctico. Habitaciones pequeñitas pero muy cuidadas, bonitas, limpias y bien organizadas en cuanto a espacio. La Gaffe tiene un encanto especial y, en una enorme parte, es por su personal y regencia. Amables, atentos, encantadores y hospitalarios. Trato exquisito. Lo recomendaríamos sin dudarlo y volveríamos a repetir.

- George (10/5): -
- Maki (10/5): それを差し引いても私はこちらがとても好きです。 - ホテルの方がとても親切です。数回目の滞在でしたが、今回はクリスマスの日のタクシーの手配など大変お世話になりました。 階段が狭いこと。
シャワーの水圧が弱いこと。
- Patrik (8/5): -

- Tony (8/5): -
- Tommaso (8/5): Great deal per Londra! - Struttura graziosa e comoda per raggiungere il centro, anche se è abbastanza in periferia. Ottima colazione a buffet, camera molto molto piccola, ma con tutto l'essenziale. La camera era estremamente piccola.
- alexandra (10/5): - El trato fué muy bueno.
- SVDeason (10/5): -
- Silvia (10/5): - Struttura interamente senza moquette, comoda alla metro, in circa 15-20 minuti si arriva in centro. Colazione buona, tutto il personale é stato accogliente e molto disponibile. Le camere vengono rifatte su richiesta
- Zalisa78 (9/5): Consigliatissimo! - Colazione normale ma buona, personale gentilissimo e parlano anche italiano.
Bagno grande e comodo e camera confortevole. La pulizia delle camere non e' giornaliera ma il personale chiede se serve qualcosa.
Ci hanno pulito la camera il 3o giorno su richiesta esponendo sulla porta il talloncino x service room.

- Pierre (9/5): -
- LILIYA (9/5): Prezzo troppo alto. Credo per la posizione. - Colazione semplice ma soddisfacente.
Posizione è perfetta! La finestra.
- Małgorzata (10/5): Charming, lovely place - The charm of this cozy hotel beats any new, self-service type apartament suite. The location is perfect, the staff is lovely and it had everything we needed, including breakfast.
- Amanda (7/5): - Breakfast is ok but I am gluten free so it's quite restricted

- Joce (8/5): Heerlijk verblijf in een vriendelijke omgeving. - Het personeel was enorm vriendelijk, we voelden ons gelijk thuis na de ontvangst. De trappen zijn het minst comfortabel van het hotel.
- Jean (8/5): Lovely friendly staff, 4 mins to the tube, good location. - The lovely friendly staff, good location. Just our room, the noisy traffic, squeeky bed, the bed lights didn't work, toilet and bit rusy, looked like poo. Very small room.

- Charlotte (8/5): Superbe accueil ! - L'emplacement à Hampstead est idéal (à 7 min à pieds de la station de métro).
La gentillesse du personnel.
Le calme des chambres.
Le petit déjeuner complet. Peut être le mobilier un peu vieillissant et la literie un peu jaunie...
- De Polla (9/5): - The heating was not on during cold weather
- Carolin (9/5): Freundliches, gemütliches kleines Hotel - Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und durften bereits vor 10 Uhr unser Zimmer beziehen, obwohl es eigentlich erst ab 16h bezugsfertig gewesen wäre. Alle waren sehr hilfsbereit und herzlich. Die Wände waren sehr dünn und man konnte die Gespräche bei Zimmerlautstärke mithören. Das war aber nicht weiter schlimm. Mit ein wenig Rücksicht war das kein Problem. Außerdem lagen Ohrstöpsel im Zimmer bereit, die man nutzen konnte.
- Michael (10/5): Wonderful stay! - Great location, Hampstead is a very nice neighborhood to explore and enjoy the village atmosphere and strolls and views from Hampstead Heath. Fast and easy commute to downtown London. Nice simple breakfast, friendly and helpful hosts and staff. Rooms are not large, but highly recommended!
- Janis (10/5): - Excellent location with all the convenience of Hampstead.Tube Station, shops restaurants etc
The hotel is clean and the beds are comfortable I am looking forward to another stay.
- Mónica (10/5): Cozy and clean! - Everything was really clean and cozy. The area was amazing, silent and calm. I had a medical problem and the personal from the hotel helped me incredibly well.
The breakfast was delicious too!
Thank you :)

- Laura (9/5): Great staff. Great location. Great price. - The building was full of character and the room was very quiet. I really wish there was a mini fridge in the room. We were there for a week and it would have been nice to have a place to store some fresh food or even some leftovers.
- Cristina Innocenzi (10/5): Accoglienza fantastica!!!! - La gentilezza e la disponibilità del personale. La posizione
- Radu Bogdan (9/5): - Locatia super. Personalul super. Poate daca ar fi si legume la micul dejun ar fi un plus. -
