When I checked in I think the gentleman tried speaking slowly to make me understand easier cause I am a foreigner.
It’s an old historical hotel and I think the founder love poem, I can see from the declaration.
Anyway they provided the best breakfast.

Personal and lovely B&B
Fantastic little B&B in a beautiful and well connected part of London. A fantastic range of restaurants around the area also added to it. Personal touch and thoughtful enquiry by the staff and owners were the cherry on top.

It is a unique facility located in the beautiful Hampstead hills.There are beautiful walks in the hills and the nearby Hampstead Heath. A short walk to the Hampstead tube station.
Lorenzo and his staff are hand on with great personal care and service.

Lorenzo and his staff are true professionals. They honestly care about giving their customers the best possible experience. The “cold” breakfast is substantial — the croissants are the best we have had!

My room was absolutely tiny. Although this was just a work trip and somewhere to sleep, the room was uncomfortably small. Breakfast was included. Coffee was lovely and the staff couldn’t be more helpful.

We would highly recommend this family owned hotel. Given the difficulties these days with getting staff etc. they did their utmost to provide us with individual things that we needed. A really friendly and efficiently run place in a beautiful area of London.
Many thanks - we'll certainly be booking for next year !

Overall good value for money. A lot of street noise - unavoidable because of location - quite a lot of room noises: thin walls but, luckily, clientele on the quiet, respectful side. Twin room size adequate for one (myself) but would have been beyond cozy for two. Big bonus is location in Hammersmith: interesting neighborhood restaurants & bars, very close to Heath and close to Tube for exploration of London.

First off, Lorenzo was the quintessential host - knowledgeable, friendly, and didn't hesitate to help us with anything we needed. He truly went above and beyond. As first time travelers to GB, that was probably one of the most important things we could have hoped for.
The room was small but all we needed. The bed was VERY comfortable and it was pretty quiet at night. The shower and bath were clean and a welcome relief after a long day site seeing.
They offered a light breakfast which had a nice mix of offerings, but there were other places nearby if you preferred. Hampstead has a variety of store fronts so anything you want is within a 15 minute walk. It's a bit hilly, but the area is great!
I want to thank Lorenzo and his staff for all that they did! They were first rate hosts!

Would not recommend
I don’t understand why there are so many good reviews, it’s very misleading. Location was good and shower pressure strong, but that’s about it. Bed was terribly uncomfortable. Pillows were old and gross and had other guests hair on them. Walls are so thin I could hear the man in the room next door snoring, coughing, flushing the toilet, etc.

We had a room that was so tiny we could hardly open our cases or move around comfortably. The bathroom in our double room was so tiny you had to step outside to dry off! Coming in our room was a challenge as there was barely room to squeeze in. Extremely noisy at night even with ear plugs which were provided! The whole facility needs a huge makeover to bring it up to decent standards. The stairs up to the rooms are extremely dangerous and narrow. The staff however are very friendly and helpful.

Great stay, fantastic location and excellent value
I had a very good stay here. The location is fantastic, only 5 minutes from the Northern Line and 15 minutes from the centre of London, but it feels like another world. Hampstead is a beautiful part of London to stay in, with lots of cafes and small shops, and the Heath is right on your doorstep. It is also not far (15 minute walk) to the overground to head west to Kew or east to Stratford. The staff were very friendly. It is a continental breakfast, but that was perfect for me and great coffee (the most important thing!) My room was a good size--certainly for what you would expect in London--the bed was comfortable and there was plenty of storage and the bathroom was clean. The shower was rather difficult to set and very hot. My main reservation about my stay was that my room was at the front, and when it was warm if I opened the window there was a lot of traffic noise. The ceiling fan kept the air circulating but it was a little uncomfortable--but you wouldn't expect air-conditioning in a small hotel in the UK and it was only a problem on a rare hot day. The stairs were also a little steep with luggage but the staff helped me up on arrival. Despite that, I would have no hesitation at all in returning, and have already recommended the hotel to some colleagues at work. If you like a generic hotel that could be in London, Lisbon, or Las Vegas, you probably won't like La Gaffe; but if you like a hotel with character and charm and with friendly staff, this is the place for you.

2/10 Poor
I do not recommend this place more like a hostel or bedsit than a hotel. Normally stay at premiere inn and thought we would try somewhere different. The room had dirty walls and then bed was squeaky. It reminded me of my student accommodation 25 years ago. No sound proofing I could hear neighbours arguing until 1 am. Staff were polite however fire alarm went off multiple times in the night. When I tried to exit the door was internally locked and no one greeted us outside. Worse than this was that a team member from the annex next door was clearly visible inside the property on the phone and distracted while his guests stood for 20 minutes on the pavement outside…in the end I returned back into the building and retrieved the contact telephone number for emergency contacts…as we did not know how long we may be stood outside for…I rang the number and the same man I could see wandering around inside answered and eventually came out…I was very annoyed that he did not approach us in all the time we stood there and left us to fend for ourselves until shamed into helping us. A truly awful experience and I would never stay there again the breakfast offer was boiled eggs bread rolls and cereal and the restaurant error had a strange odour.
