Excellent! Location was in the suburbs, closest station is Golders Green underground (tube), then you take the (loop) bus and will leave you within 1 block from Iolanthe. Very quiet area, superb breakfast (from Full English to Specialties i.e. eggs fiorentine, etc). Our room (Ming) had a private bathroom, so that was OK for me and my mum. We stayed 3 days and arrived late on the first day due to a delayed flight (from Heathrow terminal 5, we took a train to Paddington and then called for Uber - 20 pounds), Rossy was waiting for us, very attentive, gave us slippers for in the house! A great experience and I will recommend Iolanthe to my friends! Tip: to travel from here to London, you can pay with your own (debit/credit) bank card (1 card per person). Just check-in when in the (loop) bus (for buses there's no need to check-out), and it's valid for all transports in London (tube, train, buses). You have to check-in and out when using in tube/train, and it has a top of 10 pounds per day. After that, there's no charge, however you still need to check in/out when using transport. And download the tube app, it's really very helpful!

Nada, nothing, zip, zero!

Lovely house in Hampstead Garden Suburb. Excellent breakfast choices served in a beautiful dining room with lovely china and silver. Excellent variety of teas, coffee, and biscuits in the bedroom.

I’m too old to share a bathroom, but for a few nights it was ok. Very awkward having a bath without spilling water on the floor. Rosy was very nice and greeted me when I arrived, but I never saw her again. It would have been nice if she checked in with me once during my stay, or when I left, but she might have been busy doing other things. It would have been nice to have tissues in the bedroom and bathroom.

The breakfast was delightful. The quilt and bedding were warm and comfortable. The house reminded us of the home of the famous Christmas film "The Holiday". As we had an early flight on the day of check-out, Rosy made us breakfast to-go, with a note of "Happy birthday" (one of us had a birthday). We loved it!

Since the home is located outside of London, we had to take a 20/30 minute train to the city of London. It was a 15/20 minute walk to get to the train station, so we booked an Uber every now and then or took the bus. Rosy seemed to have an agreement with the bus-drives, as when we showed the bus driver the location of the home, he let us off right outside the house.

I stayed in a lovely twin room overlooking hampstead heath. The photos don't do it justice, it's a really lovely room with lots of thoughtful touches and items to make your stay really comfortable. The breakfast menu was surprisingly varied and I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast each morning. The house is located in a fabulous part of London with easy access by a local bus service to the tube station or by walking across the park. A perfect place for a solo traveller!

A very nice typically English furnished house. Rosy is very helpful and cordial. It was great to meet the other guests at breakfast. The breakfast is varied. Absolutely quiet area. Nice park right by the house. Walk through the park to Golders Green subway or take the small bus. Bus stop in front of the house. It's a very lovely place to be and meet interesting people from all over the world.

Breakfast was excellent. Cooked to perfection and the granola and banana were delicious. Tea and toast was the perfect end and it really set me up for a long day ahead on the Sunday. The location is beautiful in a leafy suburb, a gentle 15 minute walk from Golders Green tube station, although plenty buses if walking is an issue for anyone. The owner Rosy is a lovely woman and Sitti, her housekeeper, is equally friendly and welcoming. I haven’t been down to London in a number of years but I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else next time I’m down.

Nothing, although if pushed hard, perhaps the handheld shower in the shared bathroom for my single room might qualify as a minor inconvenience. I do mean minor though, because it presented no real barrier to getting showered in the morning it just felt slightly odd. The handheld shower itself is excellent though, like everything else in Iolanthe.

Charming place with lots of character! The beds were wonderfully warm and cosy, and breakfast was delicious and very filling! The location is lovely, right near Hampstead Heath, so it’s very quiet at night. The heath is wonderful to wander through, though it means Iolanthe is a little far from the nearest tube station. The bathroom is shared but I never had any issues with having to wait, I think the fact that you schedule your breakfast time the night before helps with staggering people using the bathroom in the morning.

The showering situation is a bit tricky, there is only a bath with a handheld shower head and as the house is very old you have to be careful not to get water on the floor. It’s manageable but a little tricky at first.

The staff/owner Ruby was awesome. She let me check in a little earlier than normal because of my flight's arrival time, and the breakfasts were great. I loved the location for a first stop in England. There's a massive greenspace right across the road, and it's a 15-20 minute walk to the Golders Green tube station which can get you anywhere in London.

The shared bathroom facilities were my biggest negative - it's also only a bathtub (and sink and toilet of course) and I prefer showers. And I was in the Leprechaun room which is the smallest in the house which meant I needed to store my luggage under the bed to keep things manageable.

Friendly personal service offered from date of booking to checking in and checking out. Bedroom very clean and comfortable and in-room facilities included tv/dvd, tea/coffee, chair, table, wardrobe and hand sanitiser. Shared bathroom kept very clean with discreet signage to encourage other residents to keep it that way. Located in rural Hampsted away from hustle and bustle of town so would be a great getaway for business people or couples. Accomodation provided useful directions including tube links into central London.

Very that little I didn't like, though my break was unfortunately cut short due to personal reasons. If arriving to Golders Green, West Hampstead or London by public transport, do enquire about local buses or taxis as the accommodation is located about 25 min walk away from Golders Green itself (apparently there is a shortcut through the Heath). This was quite a long way to carry my luggage, and would have meant a short commute into town but the scenery/walks are a rare treat in London postcodes.

Room was clean and cosy, the food was hot and tasty, and the ambiance very friendly. Excellent location for catching the Hail and Ride Bus into town.

Toilet access first thing in the morning was a little stressful as only one loo was available and a family with 2 teenage daughters liked to take long showers, but I suppose that has to be expected when booking a room with a shared bathroom. Next time I will either go for ensuite or look for extra toilet facilities.
