If you like the air in your room fresh, go elsewhe
Not every room has a window that can be opened and you only find that out once you are in your room. Had i known this beforehand I wouldn’t have booked it. 2 sleepless nights as there was no fresh air and the air was quite stuffy. A 650£ stay and you can’t open the bloody window, this isn’t ok .

28 November 2024
The room was great for a week-long stay. There was a real refrigerator, a nice microwave, and a dishwasher. Guests have no control over the thermostat and it was usually unbearably hot. The bed was comfortable but the only blanket for sleeping was a heavy duvet so coupled with the heat, it was hard to sleep. The desk did provide a flat sheet for us but seemed baffled why we were uncomfortable win a room that was hotter than 72 degrees. There is no bathroom fan and you can’t open the windows so after a week the room felt stale even after it was cleaned. There are also a series of automatic lights that can be helpful in the dark but our came on and off throughout the night. There was also a flashing light from the loo that we couldn’t figure out. We’d consider staying here again.

Thank you!
On this trip, I traveled solo and stayed at The Other House for a week. The customer service at the front counter was excellent. Although the app didn’t work for my hotel room door, I was very quickly given key cards and everything else was lovely. The rooms are nicely decorated and clean. I took advantage of the kitchenette in my room my stay and found the neighborhood safe with restaurants, coffee, and a grocery store just 1-2 blocks away. The Piccadilly line is three minutes from the hotel—easy to get to other neighborhoods or to get a direct ride to Heathrow from this stop. I would stay again.

It’s a lovely property with a fun quirky decor. Everything needed for a comfortable stay was provided. One drawback was the room was just too warm for me. The windows did not open and air conditioning was limited. It was difficult to get a full nights sleep when overheating.

This was a great hotel. Location, service was exceptional, and the quietest room I have ever had (I asked for a quiet room). Highly recommend.
