La Gaffe, The Meeting Room

I spent 3 nights here on my first time in London and found it a great hotel to settle in and experience the city. The hotel manager and staff are excellent - their morning coffee is quite strong which I like. While the walls are thin, the rooms do come with earplugs. The best thing about this hotel is that you get to experience London without the business of downtown. This is also a great base to learn how to navigate the tube and transit, especially if you are going downtown. The neighborhood is also excellent and quiet. I highly recommend La Gaffe if you are looking for an alternative location outside of London’s downtown.

Superb Egg-Friendly™ Accommodation in a magical part of London. I had a 3 night stay here in November 2025 whist volunteering at Excel for Sadhguru. A very warm welcome from Lorenzo room was warm and comfortable nice shower no noise during the night, slept very well and managed to cross London to be at Excel docklands for 7am Saturday morning very easy commute from the hotel. Excellent service and friendliness from the lady in the restaurant (please forgive me didn't get her name) that has worked there many years, and delicious continental breakfast with one of Lorenzo's famous coffees. So much to see around here. Walk up to the Spaniards Inn, down to Keats house, Japanese restaurant Jin Kichi same side as La Gaffe near tube was amazing remember to book. Walk around in the evening up to Hollybush pub and Admirals house have a drink in the the Duke of Hamilton pub where Peter O'Toole, Oliver Reed and Richard Burton used to frequent. I have booked here again to bring my children next December we will go into the West End but Hampstead is such a great place to relax will spend lots of time there, taking advantage of Lorenzo and team's excellent hospitality. Delighted Lorenzo didn't charge me any extra for my fried egg, Colin who has impeccable manners and is fully house-trained and really enjoyed himself too. Many Thanks and much appreciated.
