We enjoyed our stay at Aster House very much. The location is super convenient--close to the South Kensington underground-- and the staff friendly but not at all overbearing. There are plenty of good restaurants on the block and around the area for very good food. Our room was clean, spacious, and nice. I suspect our only complaint would be price... more

This B& B was in a great location. We were close to the tube and many good restaurants within walking distance. The Tans were very gracious and helpful. We stayed in the Garden Room, which was very comfortable and spacious. We had a small patio that looked out on the garden, which was lovely. The breakfast room was enclosed in... more

We found this hotel in our Rick Steves' guide, and we're so glad we stayed here for 5 nights! We'd have stayed 2 nights more if there had been room! Leonie Tan is a warm, friendly host who made us feel right at home. We had 2 rooms, side by side, both very clean with comfortable beds & modern bathrooms.... more

Finding a place to stay in London is by no means easy if you're unfamiliar with the city...So, knowing we'd rather stay in a cosy guest house than a large standard depersonnalised hotel, we started looking on tripadvisor, and boy, the reviews were absolutely right! First of all, Aster House is ideally located in South Kensington and very easy to... more

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Aster House (BTW, how do people make reservations, stay here, pay their bill and yet call it "Astor" House, Aster "Hotel", Aster "Hostel" etc?) We were swayed by Rick Steves' report and by its excellent location. Being poor worker-bees, we had to stretch our budget to stay here, but we're glad we... more

We stayed at the Aster House for 7 nights and would highly recommend it! The location in South Kensington was excellent. You can get there easily from Heathrow on the PIcadilly Line. Aster House is just a couple minutes from the tube and there are a variety of great ethnic restaurants just down the street. The neighborhood is quaint and... more

We had a fantastic Christmas vacation in London, headquartered at the Aster House for a week. I researched B&Bs myself online and through guide books, then corresponded directly with the hosts. I found that many B&Bs in London closed down for Christmas week, but we were lucky enough to find rooms at Aster House--book early! The Tans (hosts) were genial,... more

This was our second annual visit to London. After arriving from a week in Paris, we were exhausted and ready for another delightful stay at the Aster House. Once again, we were not disappointed. Our room (on the third floor) was beautiful and well appointed. Immaculately clean. A welcome refuge. The location of the Aster House is ideal. The tube... more

This is a charming B&B that Rick Steves recommended. My husband and I stayed there for the past 5 or 6 years, as we go into London at least once a year to visit family and friends. Unfortunately, last year we were asked to move out for one night as they had muddled their reservations, and we accommodated them. We... more
