This was our fourth stay at the Langorf and we still enjoy the place. We have stayed in their apartments as well as hotel rooms. Its clean and maybe a little worn but it has character and a nice way about it. We are not the type to use room service and do not expect amenities here. Normally, we would buy our own goodies and use the dining room for some snacking. On this last trip, we went downstairs to the bar area and ordered some wine and cheese. Frankly, the individual behind the desk fell over himself trying to accommodate us and we were surprised with the quality of our cheese plate. We would have expected something very ordinary because we don't use this hotel other than a base of operations to be near some London-based family members. We were a group of five this time and became larger when family visited. Its relaxed environment allows us to bring in our wine and sit in the dining area to the early morning hours talking and laughing without feeling that we are bothering anyone. It seems to have new management or ownership. I'm not sure which but the front desk people were helpful and friendly. I'm sorry to hear that some people did not like their visits. For some reason, I'm not surprised about some conditions but feel they would be addressed if brought to management's attention. In any event, its a great value. We have stayed at other locations in this neighborhood but continue to go back to the Langorf.

More charm than a chain hotel, with decent furnishings and clean bathrooms. We stayed in a room on the third floor that fronted the hotel and slept with our window open every night. No bugs and amazingly, in London, no noise. The street is as quiet as a suburban road in the U.S. Our three kids shared a room down in the ground level, with a bow window facing the garden. We didn't spend a lot of time hanging out in our rooms, as we were in London to "see and do." For three nights, the accommodations were perfect. Longer, and with more time in the room, it would have felt too cramped. The location is ideal, with Hampstead up the hill, and Finchley Road downhill. We caught the Metro at Finchley, a five minute walk to from the Langorf. We ate a couple meals at the "O2 Centre" (mall) down on Finchley Road, and could buy anything we needed, fruit, nuts, snacks, from Tesco, located there. We really liked Nandos, the Argentinian restaurant at the O2, even though it is a chain. Wheat, a restaurant up at Hempstead, was a pleasant surprise.

How can anyone in their right mind think it is acceptable to give guests a bedspread with obvious bloodstains on it? Add to that an unfixed broken window, a filthy carpet which looked like it hadn't been cleaned or replaced in twenty years, a broken toilet seat and extremely dated decor. I am amazed this place has had such good reviews off others - was I spectacularly unlucky in the room I was allotted? In my opinion, hotels which show this kind of contempt towards their guests deserve to go out of business. Only stay here if you are desperate.

Staff really friendly, clean and cute room and good position of the hotel. Lovely, terrific.

From the first approach till check out I had a very positive opinion about the Hotel.reception is well organised,helpful,kind,rooms are absolutely spotless,nicely refurbished.We had a quite spacious room comparing to other hotel rooms in London. The location is perfect,10 minutes from centre,but still nice residental area.I recommend it to all who are planning to travel to London,and wants to get a high standard for their money.
