We have just had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Other House. It is an exceptional hotel. It is beautifully furnished, the staff are very friendly and helpful, as well as efficient. The suite we had was excellent, we could not fault the room at all. The use of the spa was an excellent addition. The breakfast was exceptionally good. The whole thing was an absolute treat, so decadent throughout. A special weekend and we will definitely be back.

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 .

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.

Very nice hotel in an upscale neighborhood. Close to the Tube. It felt very safe. A little far from the Tower area, but about 15 min. Tube ride to most other attractions.

The property was exceptional especially the decor and interiors, however it was a bit dark in the room with not enough lights. The following were small irritants - TV sound was poor, no phone in the room to call reception, no tissues in the room, no instructions on how to operate the microwave/oven. However, we would definitely would stay again as the kitchenette was very good. We tried to extend the stay another week however it was full.
