Staff were so friendly and helpful. Felt like a guest house should feel, nothing was too much trouble. Location was great for tube, buses, shops. There was a lovely small play park nearby for the kids. It had a trampoline, trees, squirrels, sand pit, and all the usual swings and slides. Rare to find in London and great for the kids to have a play. Lovely spacious family room with proper beds for everyone Great hot, powerful shower with toiletries Warm and clean Kettle, cups, glasses provided in room, with tea coffee etc filter coffee and decaffeinated was available when asked Nice area, felt safe

Stayed here as a very last minute change of plan as I had family in the local hospital. Cheap & cheerful - the room was very tired & certainly needs some attention, but it was perfectly comfortable & the breakfast was plentiful. Good value for location, but not necessarily somewhere I’d recommend for a romantic getaway..

Wonderful, welcoming hotel. We stayed three nights at the Chelsea House in mid-September and were really pleased with everything. Yes, it is an older building and shows its age in some places, but it is spotlessly clean, well located and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Room was ample size for a couple, with a good bed. We were on the second floor and it was very quiet. Hotel is in the lively Chelsea area with lots of pubs and restaurants nearby. A 24-hr convenience/off- licence store about two-min walk. Note that there is definitely traffic noise at night, esp as it is near a hospital so there are sirens and other traffic noises. The windows are not soundproof so bring earplugs. No problem sleeping that way. Breakfast was included and the woman running the food service was lovely and friendly. It was a simple but adequate breakfast, toast, fruit, hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal, coffee. It was perfect for us and plenty of space to sit (although it got busier later in the morning). We had an issue with our hot water in the shower and the managers took care of it right away, which we greatly appreciated. Overall, a charming old hotel that fit the bill for us!

The property has a great location and very friendly staff. There is a steep flight of stairs and no lift which is a consideration if carrying heavy luggage or mobility issues.

This is a LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION "hotel", or I would refer to it as a Bed & Breakfast. My Mom and I visited London for three days and stayed at Chelsea House for three nights. This is very quaint and older little bed and breakfast or an inn. The service at check-in is not exactly mind-blowing. The "cleaning" is very basic. They do the bed and hang up the towels or maybe provide new towels. No AC in the room for people that cannot live without it. We were able to manage with the fan in the room but having both windows open for some air at night time instead brought in a lot of street noise. The breakfast is basic continental with toast, butter, cheese, jams etc, fruits, coffee and tea. My Mom really liked the breakfast. I am not a b-fast person. Overall, for the total price of approx 440 pounds for three nights, and the great location, this worked out well. But if you are looking for luxury or at least three stars, this is not it.

No lift, no A/C only a small table fan was provided. At first glance appears quite clean but a bug was crawling around in the bathroom (1cm)

We were in the basement and the room was very stuffy. It did have a fan, and 1 window (with no screen). Luckily, we were facing the back so we could have it open. We had 4 people, and sufficient beds, But we were on top of each other and very little space to move. Several things were broken in the room and it is in desperate need of an update. Staff was helpful, and the room was basically clean. I feel I paid for way more than what I got. The nice thing was location. Very close to the tube and restaurants.
