We ( 4 German guests) stayed at The Main House from April 3 to April 9. Two of us were already there in 2009. And once again - as we have expected - it was a real pleasure to receive the warm hospitality of Caroline and Moa. They were very helpful and their friendliness always guarantees a successful city trip... More

My new husband Ryan and I stayed at the Main House during our 6 day tour of London before heading out to Ireland. We found The Main House through Trip Advisor and it was absolutely the best for our money. We wanted something between a hostel and The Dorchester - and that middle ground is quite hard to find in...

We have just come back from a week in London and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Main House. Our room and the adjoining bathroom were huge, bright, and tastefully decorated. Both rooms were very clean, and we found the bed really comfortable to sleep in. Both Caroline and Moa are very friendly and assisted us in any way they... More

I was disappointed by The Main House. The carpets were dirty; the rooms looked liked they hadn't been painted in years; the towels were threadbare; and, most importantly, the rooms didn't lock properly. Our family had booked two separate bedrooms and the owner didn't seem to think it was important to provide keys to both of them. She only provided... More

I recently stayed for seven nights at The Main House with my mum. We wanted B&B style accommodation in central London but with separate bedrooms, which basically meant double the price everywhere I looked! Then I came across The Main House's French Suite, which has a bedroom and a separate living room that can be made up as a bedroom,... More

I have just recently stayed at The Main House ( for the fourth time) and found it welcoming, comfortable and lovely ---after leaving a high-end hotel in Paris, it was like coming home. Our room was ready for us even though we arrived a little early, and both Caroline and Moa were there to greet us. We spent 4 wonderful... More

I travel a lot, for business and pleasure and do what I can to stay away from big hotel chains in search of places that are intimate, have character and allow me to experience my destination as if I were a local. On a recent trip to London, my fiance and I found just that. The Main House is a... More

My husband and I stayed at The Main House for a week in September 2011. The room was everything we expected and perhaps even a little more than we had expected. Our room occupied the entire first floor of what I think is a beautiful Georgian Mansion - huge bathroom and living room, tastefully but minimally decorated with a very... More

We stayed a week at The Main House, quiet and well-situated in luxe Notting Hill. Our room was quite spacious with lovely tall windows and natural light. It was well-furnished with white linens, wood floors, and sparse antiques -- all stylish, if perhaps a little masculine. All in all, it's great value for London -- stylish and quiet with ample...

Location is great,next to hip Westbourne Grove, with many bus stops nearby and to a 10 min walk to the tube (district line taking you to the touristy places). It was a real pleasure to come home at night, to a peaceful hood away from the crowds. And on Saturday of course you are 30 secs away from Portobello Road.... More
