Based, in part, on its great rating on tripadvisor, my wife and I arranged a 5 night stay at London’s Aster House in early May 2012. The ratings are right on target; it was a wonderful experience. Our comfortable room (number 1) was on the ground floor, overlooking a quiet street filled with well maintained, private homes. Our hosts, Leonie... More

My husband and I stayed at the Aster House last August. We arrived the day before the riots started. It was a very interesting time to be in London. The South Kensington area felt very safe and Leonie made sure we were well taken care of. Our room was a wonderful double room on the second floor looking out on... More

For my first trip to London, I chose to stay at the Aster House in South Kensington based on reviews I read on Tripadvisor. I was not disappointed! It WAS an ideal location. Located only a few blocks from South Kensington Tube Station and the bus stops. We were two women traveling alone and I felt very safe in the... More

I was somewhat disappointed that a favorite hotel near Victoria was booked during our recent trip to London. Now, I have a favorite new hotel, Aster House. The location just a few blocks from the South Kensington tube station is ideally situated near the museums and Royal Albert Hall. Our room (#5) had a lovely view of the back garden... More

I was attending school in London for a week and met my husband at the Aster House for a romantic interlude. I loved the fact that it does not look like a hotel. I found my husband snuggling in the bed when I arrived-London was absolutely freezing and he was exhausted from a long trip. We both loved the comfort... More

I wouldn't have known about this hotel or BNB without the help from Rick Steve's book. It gives you the experience of living in one of the period houses of London with it's high ceilings. It really feels like a home. The room is cleaned everyday to a very high standard. The breakfast is plentiful. The location is fabulous. You... More

Stayed several times at Aster House, the most recent in early January 2012. Always a good experience and I will stay here again. Great location, room, bed, breakfast, hospitality, etc. etc. Ms. Tan is always pleasant and helpful. For London with its expensive but tiny hotel rooms and impersonal service, this is an exceptional value. More

Where to start....the location is fantastic, just a quick walk to museums (V&A and the Natural History - I think), Harrods just down the road, spoilt for choice in terms of restaurants and cafes and so close to the South Kensington tube station. Aster House itself feels 'homey' and welcoming, with loads of charm and character - so much more... More

We loved this place because it felt like we were living in a nice residential South Kensington neighborhood. The location was very convenient to buses and the tube. Many attractions are within walking distance, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum and Harrod's. The place itself was very elegant and the hostess was very kind and efficient. A quiet room... More

THis is one of the few hotels I've ever seen show up in every travel site as 5 star - and it certainly did not disappoint. The location itself is worth the rating. THe South Kensington Tube is just a few minutes away, surrounded by a large selection of restaurants and services. Leona was always accessable and helpful. The hotel... More
