Excellent! Location was in the suburbs, closest station is Golders Green underground (tube), then you take the (loop) bus and will leave you within 1 block from Iolanthe. Very quiet area, superb breakfast (from Full English to Specialties i.e. eggs fiorentine, etc). Our room (Ming) had a private bathroom, so that was OK for me and my mum. We stayed 3 days and arrived late on the first day due to a delayed flight (from Heathrow terminal 5, we took a train to Paddington and then called for Uber - 20 pounds), Rossy was waiting for us, very attentive, gave us slippers for in the house! A great experience and I will recommend Iolanthe to my friends! Tip: to travel from here to London, you can pay with your own (debit/credit) bank card (1 card per person). Just check-in when in the (loop) bus (for buses there's no need to check-out), and it's valid for all transports in London (tube, train, buses). You have to check-in and out when using in tube/train, and it has a top of 10 pounds per day. After that, there's no charge, however you still need to check in/out when using transport. And download the tube app, it's really very helpful!

Nada, nothing, zip, zero!

A very nice typically English furnished house. Rosy is very helpful and cordial. It was great to meet the other guests at breakfast. The breakfast is varied. Absolutely quiet area. Nice park right by the house. Walk through the park to Golders Green subway or take the small bus. Bus stop in front of the house. It's a very lovely place to be and meet interesting people from all over the world.

The breakfast was delightful. The quilt and bedding were warm and comfortable. The house reminded us of the home of the famous Christmas film "The Holiday". As we had an early flight on the day of check-out, Rosy made us breakfast to-go, with a note of "Happy birthday" (one of us had a birthday). We loved it!

Since the home is located outside of London, we had to take a 20/30 minute train to the city of London. It was a 15/20 minute walk to get to the train station, so we booked an Uber every now and then or took the bus. Rosy seemed to have an agreement with the bus-drives, as when we showed the bus driver the location of the home, he let us off right outside the house.

The staff/owner Ruby was awesome. She let me check in a little earlier than normal because of my flight's arrival time, and the breakfasts were great. I loved the location for a first stop in England. There's a massive greenspace right across the road, and it's a 15-20 minute walk to the Golders Green tube station which can get you anywhere in London.

The shared bathroom facilities were my biggest negative - it's also only a bathtub (and sink and toilet of course) and I prefer showers. And I was in the Leprechaun room which is the smallest in the house which meant I needed to store my luggage under the bed to keep things manageable.

Friendly personal service offered from date of booking to checking in and checking out. Bedroom very clean and comfortable and in-room facilities included tv/dvd, tea/coffee, chair, table, wardrobe and hand sanitiser. Shared bathroom kept very clean with discreet signage to encourage other residents to keep it that way. Located in rural Hampsted away from hustle and bustle of town so would be a great getaway for business people or couples. Accomodation provided useful directions including tube links into central London.

Very that little I didn't like, though my break was unfortunately cut short due to personal reasons. If arriving to Golders Green, West Hampstead or London by public transport, do enquire about local buses or taxis as the accommodation is located about 25 min walk away from Golders Green itself (apparently there is a shortcut through the Heath). This was quite a long way to carry my luggage, and would have meant a short commute into town but the scenery/walks are a rare treat in London postcodes.

Breakfast was excellent. Cooked to perfection and the granola and banana were delicious. Tea and toast was the perfect end and it really set me up for a long day ahead on the Sunday. The location is beautiful in a leafy suburb, a gentle 15 minute walk from Golders Green tube station, although plenty buses if walking is an issue for anyone. The owner Rosy is a lovely woman and Sitti, her housekeeper, is equally friendly and welcoming. I haven’t been down to London in a number of years but I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else next time I’m down.

Nothing, although if pushed hard, perhaps the handheld shower in the shared bathroom for my single room might qualify as a minor inconvenience. I do mean minor though, because it presented no real barrier to getting showered in the morning it just felt slightly odd. The handheld shower itself is excellent though, like everything else in Iolanthe.

Charming place with lots of character! The beds were wonderfully warm and cosy, and breakfast was delicious and very filling! The location is lovely, right near Hampstead Heath, so it’s very quiet at night. The heath is wonderful to wander through, though it means Iolanthe is a little far from the nearest tube station. The bathroom is shared but I never had any issues with having to wait, I think the fact that you schedule your breakfast time the night before helps with staggering people using the bathroom in the morning.

The showering situation is a bit tricky, there is only a bath with a handheld shower head and as the house is very old you have to be careful not to get water on the floor. It’s manageable but a little tricky at first.

Room was clean and cosy, the food was hot and tasty, and the ambiance very friendly. Excellent location for catching the Hail and Ride Bus into town.

Toilet access first thing in the morning was a little stressful as only one loo was available and a family with 2 teenage daughters liked to take long showers, but I suppose that has to be expected when booking a room with a shared bathroom. Next time I will either go for ensuite or look for extra toilet facilities.

The house is really beautiful, cosy, old school English styled, I loved it! The breakfast was fantastically prepared and served, it was more than enough for the whole day until supper. The bed was very comfortable, and smelled amazingly fresh. Our host, Rosy was the kindest and the most helpful we've ever could wished. The bus stopped almost in our front door, we could get in the downtown in half an hour

A table would be great in the room, we missed it, but it didn't cause any big problem.

nice and cozy British interior location outside the busy city center in quiet neighbourhood a lot of choices for breakfast and very tasty

thin walls so you wake up if another guest takes a shower from the noise of the water running or is stepping in the room above you, but this did not disturb us too much
