La Gaffe Hotel

Not gonna lie, it's not a luxurious hotel. It's modest, rustic, but not in bad shape. This is why I'm not using Airbnb no more. This was a great experience, amazing attention, heath, security, cleanliness, everything that you need for a short stay. I stayed for one night and felt welcomed and like in home.

We were visiting London from Canada, and our stay at La Gaffe made us feel at home! Very warm and friendly service, quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great condition and great value room in a really leafy area of London! The owner is super friendly and made a lot of effort to get to know you as a guest. The included breakfast was really nice too.

Truly just a great experience. The location is quite nice, close to an Underground station, a Tesco, and a nice Pub. The room was nice for the two of us, though the stairs could be somewhat intimidating. The owner and associates were very friendly and responsive. Ultimately a very good experience that I'd recommend to first-time Londoners.

Highly recommend.
The room was clean and cosy with a comfortable bed. Everything you need in a guest house with a continental breakfast included.
The service was very pleasant and the host contributed to the homely atmosphere.
It’s a great location close to shops, restaurants and the underground.
I will stay here again when I visit London

I really enjoyed my stay here! The room was small but very comfortable, if you're visiting London and just want a place to sleep and recharge it's perfect. The staff was very helpful and friendly and it's a very short walk to the Hampstead station.

It's wonderful place to stay, near underground station, shops. maybe it's not city centre, there is no lift and 5* facilities, but there is great atmosphere, the owner is very nice, and he is like the spirit of this place. The room was very cosy and there was everything could need. The bed was so comfortable, I just coudn't get up. If I go to London, I will stay here again

An absolute gem! We went for lunch and were really impressed with everything. This is a family restaurant with a lovely story behind. It's celebrating 60th anniversary this year and counts both famous people and many locals amongst them. I loved the decor and the impeccable service. The food was freshly made and tasted fantastic. We had lasagne and a vegetarian pasta and loved both. The menu has something for everyone. There are great options for vegans, vegetarians, pescaterians and meat eaters :) It is reasonably priced but service is included in your bill. La Gaffe is close to Hamstead Station and not far from the lovely Pergola Garden.

really nice B&B Place, very friendly Landlord, good breakfast. Nice rooms, very tidy - a bit too small.

This is a perfect find, just 15 mins tube out of London.
The staff, all of them, are really friendly, kind and helpful, with a warm&welcoming service.
The rooms are cosy, clean and comfy! Plus complimentary shampoo, shower gel and a hair dryer (big win!)

Lovely, quaint hotel and restaurant. It seems to have been stuck in a 60's/70's time warp, but in a good way! Excellent Italian food, very well cooked, no frills. Very good, professional and attentive service. We were a bit worried about the lack of double glazing, but it's a quiet area and the room was warm and cosy.

Great accomodation in the heart of Hampstead, a Family-Run Guesthouse & Restaurant, he area is nice and calm and most important a few minutes walk from the metro. Rooms are very clean and spacious, great continental breakfast. staff very friendly and helpful. Charming 60's-decò style interiors. Great WiFI, in the rooms.

Small, cozy, historic, convenient, & friendly place to stay! Great location, and your visit includes a nice continental breakfast to start your day. Highly recommended!!

Highly recommendable for service and food! Very warm welcome, met 3 generations of the family that runs the hotel while there. Loved the quirky layout.
Only a few hundred metres to Hampstead station, and Hampstead Heath round the corner.

Staying at La Gaffe was such a great experience. Right away I felt known by the team and like a local to the area. Lorenzo is a gem, he'll remember your name, what you're up to during the day, and how you like your coffee. The wifi is fast and supported three days of video and conference calls from my room. Lots of plugs in the rooms. Firm bed and ceiling fans that made the hot days feel breezy in the evening. The continental breakfast has a spread of eggs, ham, cheese, a variety of breads. I thought I'd go out to a coffee shop for breakfast at least one day, but found I enjoyed eating at the restaurant more!

I'd stay here again in a moment. In short: fantastic staff, great amenities, and a wonderful neighbourhood.

Absolutely amazing people! The owner and the team are probably the nicest folks you will meet in London. They allowed me to stay after check out to work in the restaurant area, and offered me coffee. Really made my day!

I stay at La Gaffe Hotel whenever I am working in London (which is in normal times very often) and I consider it my 'home from home'. I have been staying there regularly for at least 15 years. I LOVE it.

The staff are so helpful, and put up with my somewhat unconventional work hours with great good humour, always making sure I manage to get some dinner if I need it. The food is wonderful, and has my friends from all over the world drooling when I post photos of a particularly succulent supper dish on Facebook.

Another major plus is the wonderful people one meets whilst staying there - many of whom have become close friends over the years. There is always someone to chat to, even if staying there as a single female (which is not usually the case in other hotels...)

As I have often said to Lorenzo Stella, the owner, I just would not be able to function in my job without La Gaffe in my life. La Gaffe is 58 years young, and long may it continue to flourish both as a Restaurant and a Hotel!

The staff at La Gaffe were flexible and welcoming. They were extremely accommodating of my wedding reception which I had only booked one week in advance!

The food was absolutely fantastic and filling.
On top of that the room I had reserved was delightful - my fiancé and I stayed in the honeymoon suite, a fitting end to such a lovely day.

We were shown around and when we left we were told about where we could spend the day in the beautiful surrounding area. I cannot wait for my next visit, best gaff in London!

Stayed for a weekend and the welcome and service could not hace been warmer. Ate at the restaurant the first night and it was delicious. The service was also spot-on with the waiters' attentive but not intrusive and very friendly. The rooms themselves were small and quite basic but clean and comfortable (especially the beds). Was disappointed a little with the breakfast but mainly because im not a huge fan of continental which just comes down to personal preference. What they did have on it was fresh and tasty so overall it was a great stay with no complaints.

What can I say? Such friendly and caring service. So hospitable. What a location (Hampstead) - AND affordable. This is now my go-to hotel in London. For London the rooms we had were spacious, newly refurbished, clean and functional.
A good breakfast included.
