First Impressions
Holiday Lets London isn’t your typical hotel — it’s actually more like having your own temporary flat in West London. When I first arrived on Iffley Road, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this three-star property, but honestly, the apartment-style setup immediately made sense for the area. You’re in Hammersmith and Fulham, which means you get that authentic London residential feel without the tourist crowds.
The Space
Each unit comes with its own kitchenette, which was honestly a game-changer for me. I mean, London can get expensive fast, and being able to make coffee in the morning or grab a quick bite without heading out saved both time and money. The room itself felt more spacious than your average London accommodation — you know how cramped things can get in the city. The furnishings are practical rather than fancy, but everything worked well and felt clean.
Location & Getting Around
Here’s what I really appreciated about staying here: you’re close enough to central London without being right in the thick of it. The nearest tube stations are within walking distance, and I found myself using both Hammersmith and Goldhawk Road depending on where I was headed. There’s something nice about coming back to an actual neighborhood in the evenings — you’ll see locals doing their shopping, families walking to school, that sort of thing.
Practical Considerations
The staff were helpful when I needed them, though this isn’t the kind of place where you’ll have someone constantly checking on you — which I actually preferred. Parking can be a bit tricky in this part of London (as it is everywhere, really), so I’d recommend checking about that beforehand if you’re driving. The building itself is pretty quiet, and I never had issues with noise from other guests or the street.
Why Guests Love It
Look, Holiday Lets London won’t win any design awards, but it does something more important — it gives you a real slice of London life without breaking the bank. If you’re the type of traveler who’d rather spend money on experiences than on fancy hotel amenities, this place makes a lot of sense. You get independence, space to spread out, and you’re living like a local for a few days. Plus, West London has some great pubs and cafes that you’d never find as a typical tourist staying in Zone 1.
Early hotels booking in London secures West End tickets, rooftop cocktail nights, and small-group afternoon tea sessions.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
