Lovely stay at this traditional, pub hotel. Very comfortable and clean room on the top floor. Various breakfast options including a full English. Friendly service. It is also conveniently located very near Kensington Olympia overground station which requires only one transfer if travelling from Gatwick Airport,

A charming Inn .
Wonderful experience of a old English Inn with 10 rooms over a cute Pub. Recently remodeled and very friendly staff. You can stay at a Marriott in any city in the world, why not enjoy London with the charm of a place like the Hand and Flower?

Lovely night away in London
Carlos was so helpful and welcoming. Lovely atomosphere. We ate dinner and breakfast in the bar downstairs. Tasty food. Rooms nice and quiet. Slept really well. No lifts so just to be aware of that if you have any mobility issues. Would visit again for sure.

The friendliest hotel I've stayed in for years. Excellent service, very comfortable room, super breakfast. Couldn't get the TV to work but that didn't spoil an enjoyable stay.

Great host, great location
Expertly hosted by Jaz who made the whole experience of staying here a memorable one. Room large and comfortable and breakfast excellent. Hotel due a refurb soon which it needs but even in its current state of repair I would still visit again.

Fantastic stay, welcoming with incredible food!
I had a really lovely stay, overall excellent and would definitely recommend it! The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Easy check in, nicely decorated room which was spotlessly clean with good facilties including a coffee machine, kettle, mini fridge, safe and plenty of plug sockets. The toiletries were great and the dressing gown was a nice addition. The food was excellent and breakfast was a perfect start to the day - freshly cooked eggs royale 😋 the only things to mention are that you could hear cars going past through the night and being on the second floor may be something to bear in mind if you have any mobility issues. Would definitely stay again.

Fabulous place to stay in London
This B&B is amazing. A historic 1880 home turned into a hotel with a fabulous breakfast and restaurant. The staff is amazing, Jack, Alicia, the cook from Italy, we can't wait to go again.

The place with character. Spacious room, comfortable bed. Fridge with water and beer plus coffee maker were a positive surprise. Friendly staff. Very good breakfast included in the price. The place was shutting down for refurbishment and it seemed to need some renovation work. However, it had positive vibes, interesting interior design and was conveniently located. I will want to come back to see it after refurbishment.

Great place to stay
The service was great..had a lovely breakfast and a nice comfortable sleep.
It was a lovely touch with the coffee machine and mini fridge with a free beer.
But please change or clean that awful chair in the room. It looks like someone has met their end on it!

Ok but not speacial
Convenient location and decent accomodation with plenty of room facilities and provisions but the bathroom and the toilet were a big let down to the point that the toilet was almost unusable due to how it's positioned. Breakfast was nice and the service was full of smiles but the design of the room requires a serious rethink along with the overall condition even though it's a period property.
