I stayed here for one night with my partner for an event in North London. The staff member who greeted me was incredibly unhelpful, bordering upon rude. When my partner asked him where we could park our car his reply was 'nowhere.' That was it! Another of his colleagues was infinitely nicer & amenable but he could not rescue the overall dire experience of staying at La Gaffe. The decor was ancient, filthy & cheap. Our double room was tiny as was the shower room. There were 6 inches of bedframe either side of the mattress. The net curtains at the window may once have been white but were now dark grey & stiff with filth. I was only too grateful we were out for the evening as I cannot imagine having to spend any time in that room. La Gaffe is close to the tube but also terribly noisy throughout the night, (a Tuesday,) being on the main arterial route through Hampstead. We decided to give breakfast a miss, being so very keen to leave. Quite possibly the worst hotel I've ever stayed in.

Stayed at LaGaffe at the end of a 2 Month excursion in Europe. The location could not be better. Hampstead is an oasis of calm in London with relaxing cafes and a myriad of unique shops and 5 minutes to the haven of Hampstead Heath where you feel like you're in the country. La Gaffe is friendly little establishment that makes you feel like a welcome member of the family. The rooms are small (typical european fare) and somewhat neglected in the area of housekeeping but the welcome you get and the location more than make up for that. Breakfast is typical Italian style ( cold cuts, cereaL, hardboiled eggs, coffee, etc.,) but the restaurant itself is well worth dining in. Lorenzo trys to make every guest feel like they are the only one that matters and excels at that. I would definitely recommend LaGaffe if you are planning to stay in Hampstead.

For a third year running, La Gaffe has been home to my family members and friends visiting me from the States; and, for the third year running, we have been treated as long lost friends. Everyone was made to feel so welcome; the food was delicious and the rooms very comfortable. They have a beautiful dining room and a relaxed coffee bar. It is an oasis in what is at times a busy Hampstead. As for the people, Lorenzo, Salvatore, Fabrizio and staff could not do enough for us, and we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. and Mrs. Stella. Simply put, when my family and friends return, we will stay at La Gaffe, again and again.......

We Stayed for two nights as our son was getting married in Hampstead. The staff very friendly and helpful. Room minute,shabby with hard,lumpy bed and pillows.Bathroom a joke.Awful shower. Not enough room for 2 people to get ready,especially for a wedding. Very noisy,even though we were at the back. Major renovation required. Overpriced and disappointing. Breakfast ok but supermarket bread dry.Yoghurts like milk.Poor selection of overripe fruit.
