Guest Reviews
- Victoria (10/5): - Lovely place. Quiet street and comfortable bed.
- Nicholas (8/5): - Convenient location for a gig at Wembley. Nice cooked breakfast
- Isabel (10/5): - We had a lovely stay, the location is amazing, the host was lovely and clearly cares about her hotel and her guests. One of the best places I’ve stayed, I’ll definitely be going back
- Kiara (10/5): - We had a lovely stay, the owners were absolutely fantastic and made it feel like a home away from home. Completely recommend!
- Tal (10/5): Magnificent B&B - Magnificent B&B. Clean, comfortable. Only downside (if I can think of any) is that there is no elevator and one has to climb up the stairs with the luggage). Great host and super tasty breakfast.
- Catherine (10/5): - Rooms are small but perfectly formed. Very friendly staff and owner. Brilliant information book in the room - very well done.
- Leonie (10/5): Everything was great! - The room was clean, with a comfy bed and a great walk-in shower. Lekha was very accommodating and responsive with her communication. Newton cooked a lovely breakfast and was a great conversationalist, a delight to have a chat with over breakfast. The location was superb, with only a quick walk to the underground and a short journey into the heart of London. Thank you for a great stay.
- Vicki (10/5): Beautiful breakfast and amazing stay - Great stay, beautiful breakfast. We had a few minor issues that were dealt with immediately. Will definitely be back if in London. The area is amazing, quiet and so chilled. Thank you
- Marion (10/5): - The Primrose is extremely restful, which is such a relief when in London. Quality bedding in a quiet, old-fashioned setting, with very helpful managers running the place. Lovely area for cafés & restaurants. Tube not a far walk. Enjoy.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place.
- Rosemary (10/5): - A wonderful, small guesthouse in a very quiet yet convenient area of London. Short walk to the underground station in one direction and lovely parks in the other. Lekha is a perfect host and the breakfasts are excellent. Won’t hesitate to return and recommend.
- John (10/5): - Very friendly owners and excellent breakfast.
- Roberto (4/5): - The room was very hot and they didn’t provide a fan that was working
- Christoph (8/5): - Overall nice and cozy. Carpet in the room needs a renewal soon.
- heidi (10/5): Fantastic stay ! - We were warmly welcomed by staff. Breakfast was amazing and staff were chatty and took an interest in what we had been doing .
- Vanessa (10/5): - Loved my stay here. Will definitely book again when I come back to London!
- Ellie (10/5): - This was a really fantastic property! Only stayed one night as me and my partner were at a concert, but we were really impressed by it! The rooms were clean and so was the bathroom, the breakfast was amazing and it’s a five minute walk away from the tube, which gets you everywhere! Didn’t even feel like we were in London, it was so cozy. Lekha is a wonderful host, attentive, kind and really welcoming. There is no lift at the property, but as a part time wheelchair user who can do stairs, it was really accessible for my needs. Lekha was really understanding and kindly put our room on the first floor, and offered me storage space for my mobility aids downstairs. Would 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back!
- Verified traveler (8/5): A gem, but to be taken on its own terms - Very comfortable and in good location but two caveats: -if you are susceptible to daylight, ask for a room without a skylight or else pack an eye mask. -if you need to leave before 8am, breakfast will be a coffee and croissant as cooked breakfast only starts getting cooked at 8. But, to be clear, it is a lovely place run by great people, and I would stay again.
- Nicole (8/5): - Wifi was poor and kept dropping out
- Steven (6/5): - We didn’t manage to stay there due to family issues but the property looked lovely
- Elizabeth (10/5): - We had a fabulous stay at Primrose Guesthouse. The room had everything we needed and the location was perfect. It was safe walking back from The Roundhouse at night and there was no noise from the other guests. The cooked breakfast was top notch and started our day off right! The room and the breakfast are excellent value for money. 100% recommended and we would definitely stay again. Thank you for a lovely experience!!
- Tracy (10/5): Cute room - Stylish room - I love the wallpaper, chandelier, and fireplace. So charming! Cooked breakfast was good - nice to have a hot option at a moderately priced London hotel. (Not gourmet mind you. But protein- eggs and sausage- are so key.) The host was incredibly friendly and accommodating.
- Matt (10/5): - Such a wonderful place to stay. Lekha is a lovely hostess who reaches out to see how you are doing and is interested to hear about your daily experiences. Newton makes great full English breakfast of subset of and also is wonderful getting to know. Feel like I have some new friends in London! Beautiful quiet upscale neighborhood about 3 blocks to the tube and shopping or dining options, 20 to 30 mins on tube to central London. Some steepish stairs so if accessibility is an issue, this may not be the place for you. Otherwise I will wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone I can, and look forward to returning some day!
- Sara (10/5): - A haven of quiet in a busy city. The owner couldn’t have been more welcoming and went out of her way to make us feel at home. Highly recommend it.
- Roy (10/5): Lovely Host & Venue - A warm welcome on our arrival by the owner, very clean and comfortable room. With drinks tray available with bottled water and a kettle.It is such a peaceful area with a excellent night's sleep.Cooked breakfast was what you would expect with juice,cereals, pastries, fruit all on offer. Plenty of choice for your hot drinks requirements also available.. we will definitely use this venue in the future,a perfect location for Camden Market.
- john (8/5): A Bit Tight But We'd Stay There Again - Lekha and Milton the cook took excellent care of us, responding to questions and sharing suggestions how to navigate to places around the city. The guest house is located in a lovely neighborhood where it felt safe to walk well after dark. It is a short 15 minute walk to the tube, with nice restaurants and neighborhood shops nearby. The property is neat and well looked after with comfortable beds, but the room we had was pretty cramped and furniture a bit 'tired' looking which is the only reason I didn'a rank them with a '5'. That said, we wouldn't hesitate staying there again in the future! Just a point of confusion because the main photo used for Primrose Guest House appears to be of a Camden Town canal which is a completelly different community. We thought it might be a block or two away.
- Graham (10/5): Nice little BnB 15 min walk from Roundhouse - Very nice B&B with great full English in the morning. Room is basic but very clean. Staff all nice to deal with
- Simon (8/5): Great location. Simple and comfortable - Really good location for north London, especially close to reach Camden. Simple and comfortable accomodation. The host was welcoming and polite. The only minor issue encountered was the shower pressure in the morning was too low to take a shower but on the evening it was fine. I didn't have the breakfast so can't comment on this but there were a couple of great breakfast eateries just around the corner.
- Jane (10/5): - Lovely, sunny room, very clean. Good communication with the owners. Excellent cooked English breakfast. We would happily come again.
- Tamsin (10/5): - Excellent breakfast
- Daniel (10/5): - I stayed here for a night and the owner was very friendly, responsive, and accommodating. We had a few requests and she helped us out each time. I would definitely recommend staying here if you need or want.
- Nicky (8/5): - Primrose house is a quiet little guesthouse. It was perfect for our stay. Had everything we needed. And the breakfast was beautiful, offers cereal, a cooked breakfast and any requests you might have, heard another customer ordering omelettes. Hosts are really lovely and make sure you have everything you need. Few minute walk to the tube station. We will definitely be staying again.
- Linda (10/5): - Great
- Andrew (10/5): - Nice small guest house easy walking to Belsize Park & Swiss Cottage tube stations. England’s Lane close by for coffee and lunch. Breakfast included which was great.
- Rachel (10/5): - My daughter had a long layover in London and was excited to get in around 6, check in and walk around the city but instead had a three hour flight delay and major problems with her phone. Even though she didn’t get there til almost 11, by some miracle she was able to get checked in, safe and sound.
- Esther (8/5): - Personable, friendly, accomodating and great breakfast!
- Stephen (10/5): - The host is a very hospitable, friendly person.
- Ian (10/5): - It was a lovely guest house. Everyone was friendly It was a nice location for exploring London and within walking distance of the Roundhouse which was perfect for my needs. Would stay again
- Mrs Sarah (10/5): Pre Christmas break - Our host Lecka was lovely, so welcoming & friendly, lovely B&B highly recommended Close to Belsize Park tube on the Northern line, very convenient to get around,situated in a really nice area, felt very safe
- Jonas (10/5): Smooth nice stay - Small but fine rooms. Clean. Very friendly and service-minded staff and excellent English Breakfast!
- Delia (10/5): - Lovely guesthouse in a beautiful and quiet neighbourhood with good Tube access to central London. Friendly staff and great free breakfast. This was my second stay and I look forward to my next visit.
- Mark (8/5): Lovely, well priced guest house near central Londo - A lovely guest house situated about 10 minutes walk from Belsize Park tube station and 20 minute walk from the centre of Camden town. Nice comfortable room, lovely full cooked breakfast in the morning with all the things I could want. A reasonably price in relation to other parts and hotels in London. Will use again.
- Deborah (10/5): - Loved the area it was very charming and convenient for tube and Hampstead. Room was clean and comfortable.
- Kara (10/5): Great Find - Loved the Primrose. Super quaint townhouse in a lovely neighborhood. Walkable to multiple tube stops and several different neighborhoods. Amazing to-order breakfasts! And the proprietor and all the staff were super friendly and helpful.
- Jay (10/5): Excellent - Fantastic location, brilliant host, clean room Only thing is mention is TV is very small and older model
- Leslie (10/5): - A lovely property in a quiet area close to Belsize tube station bars and shops. Our host was great with good communication before and during our stay. The room was clean, cosy and the breakfasts were excellent. For those who are less mobile there is no lift and the stairs are quite steep. We would happily stay here again as it is a good base to travel in for Central London.
- Eduardo (10/5): - Great B&B. Clean and comfortable, in an area of London that is quiet and just outside of the buzz of the city centre... but with easy and quick access everywhere via the tube stations at walking distance nearby. I'd definitely stay again if in the area.
- Michelle (8/5): - Lovely owners, fantastic breakfast. Couldn't get wifi on top floor and room next door was a tad chatty which you could hear but is to be expected in older buildings. Lovely safe area, easy walk from tube and owners were lovely and so helpful.
- Nuri (10/5): Such a Comfortable Stay - I enjoyed my stay at Primrose Guest House very much because it gave me the feeling of being at home. Everything I needed (plenty of space in wardrobe to hang all my clothes, iron and ironing board, outdoor shoe container, luggage rack, full length mirror, shelves in bathroom cabinet, a choice of pillows, comfortable comforter, a garden view) was arranged compactly in my small room. Warm and cozy with the extra perk of having window open a few inches at the top to allow fresh air to circulate 24-7. If I am the Hampstead area of London again, I will definitely stay at Primrose Guest House where the owner took care of me splendidly. Belinda Atay
- Vicky (10/5): - Had a fantastic 2-night stay at Lekha's B&B with my friend. We chose the accommodation due to its proximity to the Roundhouse where we were attending a concert. Primrose Guest House is in a lovely quiet area with a good choice of pubs and restaurants within a short walk. It's also not far from buzzing Camden, but is closer to Belsize Park for the tube. Lekha was a lovely host and we felt very welcome there. It was lovely and clean - the twin room was spacious (especially for London) with an ensuite bathroom and for the price we paid, was amazing value for money. The included breakfast was cooked to order - I had a vegan option including Linda McCartney sausages and oat milk. Definitely would recommend.
- Kerry (10/5): - Did exactly what it said, clean, comfortable, fab breakfast, great host, walkable to the O2 forum and Camden town. Thank you
- Toby (10/5): - All very comfortable and well set up. Friendly owner and easygoing atmosphere
- Susan (10/5): Super Place to Stay - A great location and area of London within a five minute walk to the Beisize tube station. Lehka was very kind, hospitable and accommodating. A very comfortable bed and quiet location. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely stay there in the future.
- Nigel G (8/5): A quiet Leafy London stay - Arrived at 5pm and sent to our room at the top of the house. Tea and coffee in the room which was our first priority. Slept well after a tasty meal at The Washington, a pub 5 minutes walk from Primrose house. Breakfast was lovely, with a friendly chef, choice of cereals, fruit, cooked English, and cakes made on the premise. Only one night, but would stay again if we go to London next year!
- Robin (8/5): - Had a very enjoyable stay at Primrose Guest House. The owner was super helpful. Breakfast was delicious and fast. I would have given this establishment a 5 except for having to drag very heavy luggage up a flight of stairs.
- Denise (10/5): Lovely guesthouse - The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. The owner was very friendly and sociable. The breakfast was amazing. This stay was well worth the money paid.
- Alison (8/5): - We found this guest house very easily and we were met by Lekha. She was so welcoming and showed us around the house, explained a lot and gave us ideas for dinner options. This guesthouse is in a great location, the rooms are comfortable, the breakfasts are amazing!! It’s in a very quiet location. Only drawback is no lift if you have big bags with you. That did not impair our stay. We recommend this guesthouse and hope to be back.
- Ben (10/5): - Owners were lovely when we came in, made it apparent they were they if we needed them, but other than that we were left to it with a tidy room, lovely and quiet, definitely enjoyed our stay and would go again
- Laurie (10/5): - I stayed in the one-guest room. The room was clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast. Close proximity to Belsize Park Tube station, which made it easy to get around. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Kind staff. I would stay here again.
- Delia (10/5): - Primrose Guest House is in a lovely part of London close to public transport, cafes and shops, but on a quiet and peaceful street. Lekha responded quickly to messages and the room was clean and comfortable
- Gavin (10/5): - Great friendly hosts who also let us drop our bags off before check in. Very good value, lovely location. Fab breakfast. Would stay again.
- Tracey (10/5): Excellent and very helpful - Stay one night at the primrose lovely and very close to walk to Kentish and Camden. Great breakfast fabulous hosts banana bread very good
- Lisa (10/5): - Great stay would definitely recommend
- Alain (10/5): - Clean, cozy, confortable, quiet, very good breakfast, nice owner
- sally (10/5): Perfect stay in Primrose Hill - We had the most lovely stay at Primrose Guest House. Lekha, the landlady, is so welcoming and made our stay a very comfortable one. The breakfast is amazing and our room was just perfect. So lovely to stay in an accommodation which is so much more personnal.
- Christopher (10/5): - The host is everything. Extremely friendly and caring and accommodating. It was a real pleasure to stay here and we hope to meet again. Thank you so much.
- megan (10/5): - Great location. Comfortable beds. Wonderful staff. Amazing breakfast.
- Sara (10/5): Proper job at Primrose House! - I’m ashamed to say I didn’t ask our host’s name so sadly I can’t refer to her by name. She was very welcoming and warm. The room was comfortable and completely fulfilled our needs for our stay. Breakfast was fulsome. Our host made my full English beautifully, every element was just as it should be. She was friendly and willing to chat, but was also discreet and sensitive. It felt home from home which was very welcome. I thoroughly recommend Primrose House to anyone looking for a more personal, homely experience in the great metropolis
- Joelle (10/5): - It was very comfortable and Lekha was very friendly.
- Kathleen (10/5): - Had an amazing time at Primrose. Close to the metro line and lots of restaurants and bars all within walking distance. The host was so amazing. She made you feel very welcome and was very accommodating. She allowed us to drop off our luggage hours before check in. Make sure you take advantage of the breakfast, it was truly delicious. The room was small but had everything you could possibly need. Highly recommend.
- CHRIS (10/5): - Lekha, her guest house and the wonderful neighborhood give such a wonderful boost to your stay. She's done a fine remodel of a classic terrace house to facilitate each guestroom. And the breakfast room and its food is lovely. But as I say, as a Londoner, it is the good uplifting human spirit shared here that I really wanted to acknowledge.
- Gary (8/5): - Excellent host! best breakfast! very helpful and friendly! location great for base.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The host served an amazing breakfast accommodating our dietary constraints. Lekha helped to clarify any doubts we had, accommodated our late checkout request. Thanks for the hospitality, Lekha!
- Adiel (10/5): - A very nice, family like, small hotel. We enjoyed it much, except that we had to carry the luggage to second level without an elevator. All the rest is nice. Very friendly hostess. Breakfast was wonderful. Altogether a good experience.
- June (10/5): Primrose Guest House. - Lovely, comfortable guest house. Lekha, the hostess, was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. A very tasty breakfast was served by a lovely, cheery chef. Only downside would be the stairs as there isn't a lift but they are not steep and you are advised of this on the website. Easy access to the underground for commuting. Would definitely stay here again.
- Kenneth (10/5): - .
- Maggie (4/5): - I stayed in Primrose Gardens with my daughter in the standard Twin en-suite room. We booked 3 nights and only stayed 1. We found our room to be small, dingy, and in desperate need of updating. When I asked to drop our luggage an hour before check-in, the owner asked us to take bags into our room and welcomed us inside. But it hadn’t been cleaned yet. She then provided us “fresh” towels which she lay on top of the still dirty beds. Although the room was cleaned later, this was a really bad start to our stay. When we officially settled in, we found our beds to be really stiff and uncomfortable. And the room was clean but depressing. My daughter and I kept looking around and noticing spots where paint or wallpaper had chips or marks, spots on the carpet, stains on furniture. No A/C - we had to leave the window open and bugs came in. Walls were thin and it was noisy until other guests went to bed. We decided to book another hotel and transferred there after just one night. It was that bad. I asked for a partial refund but unfortunately it was nonrefundable. So we paid for 2 additional nights without staying there. The owner offered a “free night if you are still in London.” That made no sense because we had paid 2 extra nights. The only positive was an outstanding breakfast. This was not, however, enough to make up for everything else. Our next hotel was part of a chain, but it was cheaper, cleaner, and more comfortable!
- Francine (8/5): - Easy checkin and clean. Shower was good and the area was quiet at night. Basic room and a bit worn but bed and sheets good. Very convenient location.
- jacqueline (8/5): - Nice personal service
- Sacha (10/5): Great host - Lovely 1 night stay Host is very nice Room nice and clean Freshly cooked breakfast Overall a lovely place to stay with a perfect location to get around London
- Suzanne (10/5): - Home Sweet Home Exquisite setting in an elegant residential area, close to public transportation, Camden Town and Little Venice. We loved our accommodations: cozy, extra clean, comfortable bedding, functional with large shower. Best of all was the family-like welcome from Lekha and the international feel enjoying a hearty delicious UK breakfast with other guests. We loved our stay at Primrose Cottage. It made us love our visit to London even more. A home to come home to every night.
- Mary (10/5): - I stayed two nights at this property as I was attending a course locally. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. The room was spotless and big enough for my requirements. The cooked breakfast was delicious but other options were available. The area seems to be very quiet and the property is a short walk from the tube at Belsize Park.
- Daniel (10/5): - it was wonderful
- Richard (10/5): - Lekha was the perfect host.
- Alan (10/5): - Lovely property and excellent host
- Shelley (10/5): - Excellent hostesses. The morning breakfast was always delicious and very filling. Nice and safe area. Very walkable to tube stations.
- Angela (10/5): - Great location, quiet area. Wonderful welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Comfortable bed, spotlessly clean throughout, lovely breakfast cooked to order. Can't fault it. Will be staying again when I am in the area.
- Andrew (10/5): - Very nice accommodation near transport links and good restaurants. Owner was very nice too.
- Vanessa (6/5): - A warm place with a very friendly service in a really quiete neigborhood. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you !

- David (10/5): - Convenient, clean B&B with a friendly host and a comfortable, good sized room tasty breakfast.
- Marion (10/5): - Great stay, in a lovely and quiet area of London. You can walk to primrose hill or the heath for a morning stroll, and the tube is nearby (northern line). The room was just as advertised, the bed really comfy and the place overall quiet. I didn't get to meet the owners but they were very arranging via email regarding check in, check out.
- Naomi (8/5): - Lovely host she was very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast in the morning was very good.
- Helen (10/5): - We'd never stayed in this area of London before and really enjoyed the nice pubs, cafes nearby. Lekha was friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the made to order breakfasts set us up for the day. (She even left a card and chocs for my birthday!)
- Zhongfu (10/5): - Excellent experience. Happy stay:)
- Elaine (10/5): - Very friendly budget B&B in a lovely area. Warm welcome, everything clean and tidy. Our room was small but perfect for what we wanted. Lekha was very helpful. Would happily stay again. Plenty of restaurants, shops and Belsize Park tube station 5 minutes away or nice walk up Primrose Hill 10 minutes away.
- Drew (10/5): - Wonderful staff
- Scott (10/5): Pleasant stay - Pleasant host and very accommodating. Nice are
- Rosemary (10/5): Incredible value - Beautiful Room, extremely comfortable bed and in a lovely area - absolute bargain! Host was absolutely lovely and welcoming.
- George (10/5): - Lekha was a wonderful hostess for our visit. When we couldn't find a place for Xmas dinner, she invited us to share her family's with them. And that before even meeting us. Gracious and helpful, and always friendly. The room was clean, and large, and all the facilities well kept up. And breakfast cooked to order by Newton was always a treat. Won't find a better guesthouse in Hampstead or anywhere in London. We'll be back. Thanks Lekha
