Aviva Guest House

The studios have everything around them, from restaurants and grocery stores to coffee shops, and Hammersmith Underground Station is just three minutes away. Staying here saves a lot on travel costs. The host and his wife were wonderful and very hospitable. The place was very clean, the basic kitchen equipment was all there, the water pressure was strong and the heating worked really well. The toilets were clean, too. The bed sheets could do with being replaced.

For £86 a night in Hammersmith, the quality was hard to beat. The interior was mint, everything was clean, the bed was comfy, and there was digital TV. Staff were lively, the place was quiet and security was great. The shower head wouldn’t stay in its holder and the bathroom was very small, but those were minor things. I’d definitely stay again if I’m in London. I’ve paid four times as much elsewhere and had a worse place. There are plates, pans, a stove, a microwave and a fridge, so you can cook and get by without eating out. The subway is no more than five minutes away, with a 25-minute ride to Piccadilly Circus. A good spot that keeps you away from the noise and nonsense of London. Superb, simple as that.

The bed was comfortable and had two pillows, which isn’t always the case elsewhere. The service was excellent, and the facilities were great value for the price. Having cooking facilities helped keep trip costs down, and there are plenty of supermarkets nearby. Nothing bad to say, I’ll definitely stay again, maybe when Comic Con comes around.

The owner was welcoming and provided great service. There were thoughtful touches I hadn’t expected, like chocolate on the bed, adaptors and umbrellas. The place had a nice style, was clean, had everything needed and was reasonably priced. I’d highly recommend it. There was a strange coffee-like smell that lingered even after the windows had been open for an hour.
