We took the two en-suite rooms on the second floor for our family of two adults and two kids. The bathrooms are indeed tiny, like being on an Edwardian submarine, but amazingly functional for their size, so that was fine. The rooms are fully of eclectic old stuff, antiques loosely speaking, which gives a funky, informal feel. We liked staying... more

If you've already been to London and found staying near the touristy center exhausting, I cannot recommend the Hampstead Village Guesthouse highly enough. Located in a charming part of the city that still feels like a village, the Guesthouse offers a break from the standard London cookie-cutter tourist hotels for an independent traveler like myself. My small single room on... more

On short notice I had to combine a business/pleasure trip to London where prices are astronomic. My daughter found the going rate was about 90₤ and when she tried to book with two days notice, most people just laughed. The HVGG is about two thirds that rate and all rooms except the small single at the front are huge and... more

Wish I'd read these reviews before making a reservation at the Hampstead Village. The room was cramped, the pillows and 'comforters' felt like lead and the bathroom was a joke - no room to turn around. But the worst part was the condescending owner. When we first arrived after a long journey, instead of saying hello she complained about how... more

An excellent place to stay if you like shabby surroundings. Stair carpet threadbare and the wallpaper looked as though it had given up. Breakfast can be served in the garden if fine but I suggest you pack a broom. Location ideal but that is all the house had going for it. more

We booked the "cottage," which turned out to be a converted garage. However, our initial impression was that the decor was interesting, there were lots of books, a Corbusier chair (what a treat!). The owner loaned us her Tate Museum membership card to see a special exhibit -- she was very welcoming and helpful. Disappointment set in over a three... more

We found the Hampstead Village Guest House to be very disappointing. We love quirky places to stay but in this instance we found the service to be so poor that all of the charm left the building. Payment is up front which is absurd, the proprietor chased my partner down the street when he hadn't paid after 2 days of... more

We arrived at the Hampstead Village Guesthouse after a little disaster at the Royal Regent Palace Hotel... a TRUE dump. The Hampstead guesthouse doesn't accept cancellations of any sort so you really have to be in it for the long haul... clearly this was a serious problem for others. For us we were ushered into a gorgeous large room with... more
