This guest house was a lovely find in a very pretty part of London. Welcome from Lekha was friendly. Breakfast was cooked to order by Newton. Gluten intolerance was catered for. We had a fan in the bedroom as the weather was hot. Ensuite had a lovely powerful shower. The bed was comfortable. Lots of lovely cafés and restaurants nearby. Also just a walk from Hampstead Theatre. Really kind thought of chocolates and a card for our anniversary. Would love to stay again.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience here. We got to have the room 7 which is at the top. We had a nice view to the street and also a small window for the sky. Breakfast was fantastic. Made by a cook at 8 am and we also had bananas, apples, juices, including a nice coffee machine. They also gave us the opportunity to leave our bags and go to explore the city in our last day. The zone is nice, you have a nice market on a walking distance, the area is safe, and you have 2 metro stations really close.

This is a pleasant guest house in a good location, 5 minutes' walk to both the Northern Line Underground and stops for No 1 Buses, which can take you straight to the centre of Camden and London. Also nearby, there are several local shops for anything you might need. The lady running this is very nice.

However, the Guest house is rather basic, with poorly decorated rooms and basic fallacies. I stayed in 2 rooms because the shower in the first (Room 7) barely worked, so I moved to Room 1 for the 3rd & 4th nights. The bedroom, especially the bathroom, was very cramped, but at least the shower worked.

Although the location is quiet, there could be noise from other guests talking and moving about, and especially the doorbell, which was heard being rung several times, including at 11:30 at night.

Breakfast was good, with plenty to eat; however, the ingredients were basic, and I didn't like sitting next to the small, open kitchen where it was prepared, stacked with dirty plates and pans left from breakfast to be washed up later.

OK guest house and breakfast, in a good location, but I was very disappointed as it didn’t match what I expected from an accommodation, which is meant to be a 9.4 Exceptional.

The rooms were clean and so was the bathroom, the breakfast was amazing and it’s a five minute walk away from the tube, which gets you everywhere! Didn’t even feel like we were in London, it was so cozy. Lekha is a wonderful host, attentive, kind and really welcoming. There is no lift at the property, but as a part time wheelchair user who can do stairs, it was really accessible for my needs. Lekha was really understanding and kindly put our room on the first floor, and offered me storage space for my mobility aids downstairs. Would 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back!

A gem, but to be taken on its own terms

Very comfortable and in good location but two caveats:
-if you are susceptible to daylight, ask for a room without a skylight or else pack an eye mask.
-if you need to leave before 8am, breakfast will be a coffee and croissant as cooked breakfast only starts getting cooked at 8.
But, to be clear, it is a lovely place run by great people, and I would stay again.

Beautiful quiet upscale neighborhood about 3 blocks to the tube and shopping or dining options, 20 to 30 mins on tube to central London.
Some steepish stairs so if accessibility is an issue, this may not be the place for you. Otherwise I will wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone I can, and look forward to returning some day!

A Bit Tight But We'd Stay There Again

Lekha and Milton the cook took excellent care of us, responding to questions and sharing suggestions how to navigate to places around the city.

The guest house is located in a lovely neighborhood where it felt safe to walk well after dark. It is a short 15 minute walk to the tube, with nice restaurants and neighborhood shops nearby.

The property is neat and well looked after with comfortable beds, but the room we had was pretty cramped and furniture a bit 'tired' looking which is the only reason I didn'a rank them with a '5'. That said, we wouldn't hesitate staying there again in the future!

Just a point of confusion because the main photo used for Primrose Guest House appears to be of a Camden Town canal which is a completelly different community. We thought it might be a block or two away.

Had a fantastic 2-night stay at Lekha's B&B with my friend. We chose the accommodation due to its proximity to the Roundhouse where we were attending a concert. Primrose Guest House is in a lovely quiet area with a good choice of pubs and restaurants within a short walk. It's also not far from buzzing Camden, but is closer to Belsize Park for the tube. Lekha was a lovely host and we felt very welcome there. It was lovely and clean - the twin room was spacious (especially for London) with an ensuite bathroom and for the price we paid, was amazing value for money. The included breakfast was cooked to order - I had a vegan option including Linda McCartney sausages and oat milk. Definitely would recommend.
