- Carla (8/5): - Muy buena ubicación, el barrio excelente. Loy una persona muy cálida, me recibio super bien, y se preocupo por mi estancia y que estuviera comoda. Lo recomiendo al 100%. Quiza por el material del acolchado la.cama parecia no hecha. Pero me fijaria mas en esos detalles.

- Kilian (8/5): Plutôt bon séjour - Efficacité pour récupérer les clés. Proximité avec la gare de queen's park. Gérant très gentil. Chambre un peu froide, bruit des trains qui passe.
- Ebru (1/5): Oda kapılarında kilit bile olmaması ayrıca tesis sahibinin anahtarının kendine ait olup onun misafiri gibi davranılmasın - Güvenlik ihlali var konaklama yeterli güvenlikte değil
- Csaba (9/5): Peaceful, calm, cozy. - The host is extremely attentive and helpful in every way.
The kitchen is well equipped, so you can cook anything you want.
I felt very much at home.
It's easy to get to and the neighborhood is beautiful. Everything was fine.
- John (9/5): - For someone not knowing London well and needing a night or two convenient for the Underground, this is a nice rom personally looked after by Lloyd, who is very helpful; it's a ten-minute walk from the station on the level and along a very pleasant road. And the accommodation has everything you need. Nothing of importance.
- ANGYAN (9/5): 房東非常的友善友好! -
- Bennani (10/5): - Perfect place to stay in London. The host is great, very nice and takes care of everything for you to feel good. The place has everything you need, is clean and well located in a cute neighborhood. Will definitely recommend and come again! Thank you.

- Benjamin (8/5): I had a great time at Lovely Place. Thank you Lloyd! I will definitely stay again. - The apartment is very cozy and clean. Good facilities. It has everything you need. Having access to the kitchen was really helpful. Fantastic location. Great value too. Lloyd is a helpful and attentive host.
- SarahAllison (9/5): Lovely location, lovely host - The location of a lovely place cannot be beat. It is very close to the underground, shops and restaurants. Easy to access and the neighborhood is gorgeous. Lloyd is a fantastic host that checks in throughout the stay and offers recommendations when asked. He also provided toiletries, if needed, and space in the kitchen for food. Nothing!
- patricia (8/5): Lovely helpful host and felt safe for solo traveller. Great location - Nice spacious room with everything you need in a lovely part of London. Access to kitchen and fridge Kitchen bin, no key for room
- Adrian (9/5): -
- Aoibh (9/5): Very nice room in a lovely location with a friendly, helpful host - Nice, clean, cosy, comfortable room with towels and toiletries provided. The host was helpful and friendly. Good water pressure in the shower. Lovely location - leafy and quiet, but with plenty of good cafes and restaurants nearby within walking distance from Notting Hill and Camden, and with Tube, train, and bus routes to the centre of London. The floor of the bathroom could have been a little cleaner and a bin in the bathroom would be handy.
- Neal (10/5): Lovely host - Lovely location near to Queen’s Park tube Zero
- Guest (10/5): - Everything was perfect the host was very welcoming and available
- Tobias (10/5): Cozy, homely and lovely. - It felt really homely and cozy. I didn’t want to stay in a hostel or a hotel with a ton of people, so I was looking for something exactly like Lovely Place. It has everything you need and it feels more like staying at a friend’s place rather than at a airbnb.
- Cameron (10/5): Had a lovely time staying here. Felt right at home and loved the feeling of waking up and returning there each day. Owne - Quiet, neat, good neighborhood, close to train station.
- Jörn (9/5): Prima - Nette en schone kamer. Comfortabel bed en prima douche. Vriendelijke host. Vlakbij metro in nette buurt.
- Luke (8/5): - size of room and price
- Paolo (10/5): Lloyd's kindness makes a difference. - Accogliena, la gentilezza di Lloyd ha fatto la differenza. La camera è carina, si sta bene. Niente da migliorare.
- Lorna (10/5): Peace and quiet! - Host was absolutely lovely and it was so quiet! Very peaceful place to stay. Nothing - all good!
- Graeme (8/5): Very good - Lloyd the host was very helpful and friendly.
- Emma (9/5): Comfortable and convenient - Lovely host, comfortable bed Would like a lock on the bedroom and bathroom doors - even just a hook for piece of mind - but didn’t bother me much
- Jake (9/5): Superb -
- Richard (8/5): Excellent choice for a short stay in London! - Good location, close to bus and tube stops just over a five-minute, the local shops were good, excellent chippy on the corner of the road! Lloyd was a very friendly host who was very communicative and readily available. Price was very reasonable indeed, would definitely consider staying here again. I'd be splitting hairs if I chose anything to really complain about!
- Jithin (9/5): Superb - The host was very helpful, the rooms were clean, overall good value for money.
- Mala (9/5): Superb - Comfy and warm
Truly home feeling
- Fine (9/5): Superb -
- Hekmat (1/5): Old, cold, dirty house, no privacy, no lock doors. Very Disappointing - Location Host
- Hilary (10/5): 2nd time staying - I had a nice stay at lovely place. My bedroom and bathroom was very clean and I was able to use the kitchen. This was very helpful after a long day. The host was helpfl and friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. will definitely come back next time I come back to London for trip.
- Nuria (7/5): Good - Location was perfect, there were bus and underground/overground stops nearby. Also tons of restaurants and cafes in the area.
Lloyd was very friendly and welcoming. The room was big enough and cozy and clean. The bathroom facilities could have been more clean.
- Ahku (10/5): Room Sweet Room in Queens Park - Lyold is very friendly and keep room, kitchen and toilet very clean all time
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shaun (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marcin (10/5): Would definitely recommend! - I had a great time at Lloyd’s place. He is a pleasant and helpful host!
The room and all the facilities were very nice (just one bathroom, but no problem) and as described, with nice decoration and clean. It was nice to be able to cook in the kitchen (many places don’t allow this). Also, I could relax and work privately in a fun loft space.
The apartment is also in a nice area with lots of cafes and restaurants. nothing
- Huw (10/5): Excellent place, very recommended - It was a pleasure to stay at Lloyd's ‘lovely place’. A big thank you to him for being very helpful and friendly and for giving me some good recommendations to eat in the local area.
The room, bathroom and kitchen were very clean and well maintained - I didn’t see much of the rest of the place. While the room wasn’t huge, it was enough for one person and cosy and quiet. I slept very well.
The local area is quiet and feels safe, and is unsurprisingly green as the park is a two minute walk away. The area has great transport links to central London. It also has some great places to eat.
It was a relaxing stay, and I plan to stay with Lloyd next time I am in London.
- Jiayue (1/5): Absolutely Horrific Stay – Felt Unsafe and Trapped, and Booking.com Was No Help! - There was almost nothing to like about this stay. The listing was a complete misrepresentation. The property was dirty, cramped, and far from the "comfortable" environment it was advertised to be. The photos on the listing were misleading, making the place look far more spacious and clean than it actually was. There was constant noise from the host and his guests, making it impossible to have any peace. Even basic expectations, like cleanliness and privacy, were completely ignored. Stay away at all costs—you couldn’t pay me to relive this nightmare. I’ve never experienced anything like this in all my years of travel. The listing was a complete misrepresentation of the actual place—it was cramped, dirty, and did not resemble the photos at all.
The worst part wasn’t even the poor condition of the property. The host’s behavior was absolutely terrifying. He was loud, aggressive, and completely unprofessional. He slammed doors throughout the house in fits of rage, yelled at me, and made me feel extremely unsafe. I genuinely feared for my safety during my stay. The host screamed at me so aggressively that I was left in complete shock. This is NOT what I paid for, and it was humiliating.
His disruptive behavior escalated further when he had guests over, causing chaos and noise throughout the property, making it impossible to relax or feel comfortable. The final straw was when he slammed a door in my face after yelling at me-this was beyond anything I could have imagined. I felt trapped, too afraid to leave my room for fear of what might happen next. In a panic, I had to gather my things and flee as fast as I could.
Everything about this experience was horrifying. The host was beyond unprofessional—he was terrifying. I felt completely unsafe and trapped in the room, unsure of what he might do next. The place itself was disgusting—dirty linens, faded bedding, and overall unsanitary conditions.
And if you think Booking.com will help you? Think again. Their customer service is an absolute joke—unprofessional, unresponsive, and completely useless. I reported this issue multiple times, and after weeks of waiting, I received NOTHING but empty apologies. If something happens to you, don’t expect them to help. This wasn’t my first time using Booking.com, but after this experience, it will DEFINITELY be my last.
Not recomemded. I felt victimized and utterly disrespected during my stay, and Booking.com’s lack of support only made the situation worse. 😡
- Patabeg (7/5): Good - The location is great as it is close to metro and with great access to other parts of the city. Lloyd was very welcoming and helpful. The noise from the train which other people complained about was not a problem as it wasnt that loud after all. Regardless that it is a private apartment the place needs better hygiene standards. Not being picky but there is lot of dusting and cleaning to be done to bring the place to acceptable standards for welcoming guests.
