Shirley's house is very nice, the bed was very comfortable. The adjoining bathroom is very convenient, even if the equipment is not very up to date. (a tap was leaking in the kitchen, ...) Our room was cleaned only once during our stay, but it was not a big problem. Shirley is nice and the location near South Kensington station... More

The room was nice, but no so clean. The owner wrote me just 1 day in advance she would not provide me breakfast. No se3rvice at all: if you need fresh towels, go and buy them. so that thge price of GBP 100 for night is not fair. Positive issues: location and free wi-fi. More

Lovely B&B. Communication was great. Location is great. WIFI worked well, I had to communicate with work so it was very helpful. We loved the restaurant across the street too! We would like to stay here again next time! More

The location is the best. When you consider the reasonable price for London, you cannot find a better place. The house is charming, typically English, flowers and paintings and vases everywhere. A bakery just around the corner is the best way to start the day. I will go there again and again... More

I am most dismayed to read some of the previous negative review of 4 First St. I myself have stayed here on a number of occasions, and have to agree with the Home away from Home comment. Shirley is most welcoming and happy to help. Highly recommended. More

4 First Street is a real home away from home. Just off Walton Street in Chelsea, and handy for Harrods and the upscale stores and restaurants of Walton Street, Shirley Eaton is a welcoming host who makes you feel like family at once, offering tea on arrival and lots of local knowledge and information. She is an interior decorator, and... More

I had this property booked for October. When I read the previous review it made me think twice. It all started when contacted the owner to book, because she didn't answer my email request. She had the week available, and would need a $200 deposit. I sent it in a letter asking her to let me know that she received... More

This is absolutely the worst place ever. The innkeeper is not reliable. Do NOT trust your reservations!! I suggest going elsewhere. More
