The Hayden Pub & Rooms is a guest house featuring rooms with free Wifi and air conditioning in the center of London.

We did not realize that there was no elevators in the place so having to walk up four floors when you’re a bit disabled was kind of tough, but the staff was very nice and the rooms were clean. I’m not sure I would call it a four star facility though because of the elevators and no reception desk

    We have stayed all over UK in private homes (B&B) so many times, but never have we felt so welcome as with Iuliana. She was wonderful and extremely generous, helpful and we had a great time with her and the five cats. We will stay there again next time we go to London. It was very centrally situated, with the bus right outside and the tube 5 minutes away. Also a nice breakfast cafe up the street. Things could not be better.

    Although you're in someone's private home, you're allowed all the privacy you might ask for. Also, there is an actual bath in the bathroom. Not just a shower head behind some vinyl curtain. The host is a very gentle and hospitable lady.

    This was a private home. Not available to stay in leaving us stranded with no accommodation. We have been scanned and had our money stolen under false pretences . Will I get my money back?.....got an email saying you'd not had a response to your request from the owner. Guess what, neither have I.

    Hurlingham B&B is a great place to stay in a quiet residential street but also very close to good local restaurants and excellent travel amenities by underground (Putney Bridge) and bus services. Gilly is a very welcoming host and it is very much a case of you being guests in her private home. Room and facilities all very comfortable, breakfast is fabulous, coffee exceptional, great attention to detail. We look forward to staying again.

    I was well impressed with this place. I was apprehensive about staying in shared accommodation/a homestay as I'd never done it before and I was travelling on my own but Francien was lovely, great host, great rooms and great facilities. Really accommodating for guests too. Hoping to stay again at some point. Thank you so much. Loved hearing your stories.
