紫羅蘭飯店

Ubicado a 10km del centro se encuentra esta acogedora casa Victoriana. Decorada a la antigua en el mejor de los sentidos, que hace que cuando entres te sientas como si hubieras entrado a un hogar. Tiene ciertas reglas para que la casa se mantenga bien pero nada que no puedas hacer. Todo está impoluto, bien cuidado y presentado; las habitaciones están completamente equipadas y el baño también. Como fuimos para el año nuevo los edredones y las camas eran mullidas, cómodas y súper calentitas… he de decir que el descanso fue muy bueno. Tienen un menú de desayuno que no está nada mal, te da a elegir entre fruta, un english breakfast tipico, huevos poché entre otros… Si lo que buscas es un sitio al lado de mucha naturaleza, en un barrio de lo más tranquilo, con un aire cálido y acogedor este es tu lugar. Se accede muy muy fácilmente, sólo hay que coger la Northern Line y un bus. Sin duda, volveríamos.

Gastvrije en vriendelijke gastvrouw, heerlijk ontbijt, je maakt zelf de keuze welk ontbijt je wilt, matrassen zijn goed, badkamer was erg klein maar er was geen andere mogelijkheid, het huis is echt Engels. OV stopt voor de deur, ondergronds is op loopafstand (20 minuten).

Beautiful part of London, lovely properties and good walks…however Iolanthe for us was a disappointment. It literally is someone’s house so much so that we whispered at all times and couldn’t relax. No doubt some will see this as quaint and typically English but it was like being at your grandparents where you will be told off for breaking the house rules. You have to remove your shoes at the door which I hated. There were slippers available but I also don’t want to use old slippers that someone else has used. Our bed was extremely hard and we didn’t sleep well, partly due to hearing all the clocks chiming! There is a strange breakfast ordering system where you have chose your time (but not when anyone else has!) and a very prescriptive a-e selection of food and drink but don’t chose too much as there is a £10 fee! The food was not cooked well and choice in reality was poor e.g only orange juice. Other peoples dirty plates were left laying around. Condiments were out of date and the little jam pots were refilled and not new. Toast is literally one slice each. No one checked if everything was ok or if wanted anything else. Overall it was ok but only just ok, we would not stay here again.

We had an incredible experience! The bedroom was so confortable and nice, with a private bathroom that was clean and easy to use. In the bedroom there were also snacks and cofee/tea to drink whenever you wanted. Breakfast was served differently everyday, and you could also choose your meal every morning. The housekeeper was so nice and generous, she even gave us a lift to the nearest tub station. I completely recommend this place if you don't like the crowd noise of the city center. The only bad thing I could posibly say about the place is that there weren't any separated beds and my friend and I had to sleep together and it was kinda uncomfortable 😭, but the sheets were very nice though. Loved our stay, I'll probably stay here again on my next trip to London.

London! This charming Bed n Breakfast is London embodied! From arrival in the beautiful lush garden to the perfectly appointed bedroom, a person feels like they are visiting their long lost English grandmother! The thick down comforters on the beds, the lovely vintage decor, the perfectly set dining room table, and tasty breakfasts all make for an idyllic atmosphere and experience! The only drawbacks might be the winding stairs up which one must drag their luggage or the claw foot bathtub (no shower available) with the dire warnings of consequences if you so much as accidentally splash water on the floor! All in all, this is a wonderful place! The neighborhood is safe and beautiful and perfect for walking. The bus passes every 12 minutes so you can catch it whenever you want to go out!
