Hotel is old-school which is great because let's face it, pretty much all recent innovation in the hospitality sector has been in the direction of fewer services for more money. There is an actual person at the reception, a lift with buttons for the floor, light switches in the room that turn on/off the light at your command and not at the command of a "smart" system, a TV remote that turns on the TV and not an endless "app" with hotel advertisements, an AC unit which lets YOU control the temperature and the fan and can be set under 30 degrees (even under 20 actually. Don't abuse it and turn it off when leaving the room). The room has an ironing board and an iron, the bed is comfortable with plenty of pillows, the bathtub has a simple tap (up/down to control stream, left/right to control temperature, something many hotels aspire to improve on and always fail), there are toiletries. The breakfast is made individually for every guest, is basic but more than enough and tasty. You're in England so get a full English, obviously. I couldn't be happier.

Welcoming and friendly staff. Nicely furnished room, comfortable bed. Sofa Tea/Coffee available. Flat screen tv. Checkin / Check out was very smooth. Breakfast was a varied menu and good quality food. Only 250m from Baker Street Underground Station.

N/A all round pleasant stay

Running a small hotel isn't an easy task especially during low season and in nowadays reality. The hotel is not fancy but it shines when the stuff does its job in unition. I am not an easy guest as I know the profession of running reception (and reception is the command center of any hotel) first hand, thus sometimes I let immediate scrutiny get the best of me. As for La Place, all I know is that I slept well, laughed much and was aided by the stuff constantly and wholeheartedly. Many thanks to Eva and... Juliano!!! a master of the craft.

Breakfast.

Excellent location, close to Baker Street underground and excellent local shopping & eating in Marylebone. Room was very comfortable and quiet. Freshly cooked breakfast was good. Front desk and breakfast staff all friendly and helpful.

Coffee at breakfast wasn't great as the filter coffee tended to be over-stewed. Switching to individual cafetieres would be good!

The location was very convenient to Baker station and a brief walk to the Wallace Collection and Wigmore hall. The breakfast was excellent and the staff was great. Having AC was a plus and a lift.

The room was a little tight and the bed new was too hard for me. The shower was so small that I regularly turned the water off by just moving to wash. One morning there was no hot water. But this got fixed.

Lovely choice of cooked breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Like being with friends. Fantastic to get free pre-arranged ride from Heathrow to Hotel. When requested a taxi from Reception they arrived very quickly

Bit cramped. Even though a lift available still had short flight of stairs to 3rd floor.

I chose the location because it was close to several things we wanted to see. Really, because of Sherlock Holmes and staying in what was basically his neighborhood. Also because I prefer quieter locations, which it was, but with restaurants in walking distance. There are many and varied nearby. I can’t say enough about the friendliness of the staff.

Well, they have a wine bar but a poor selection of wine! I opted for the spirits instead.

I had a spacious third floor room with, firm, comfortable bed and excellent AC (which is often poor in London hotels!). Front desk staff were friendly, efficient and helpful throughout.

The basement breakfast room was quite cramped. Otherwise all good.

Breakfast exceeded my expectations - a full English breakfast was available every morning and a few extras, like fruit, yoghurt, croissants etc. The hotel actually upgraded my room as well which was an extremely pleasant surprise and I really appreciated it!! Towels were replaced every single day which was also lovely. Location was great too and very central.

I've stayed here a couple of times now, and it's a wee gem - very comfortable rooms in an unbeatable location, two minutes from Madame Tussaud's. My rooms have been small but well-appointed, with everything you need, and decent aircon too. The beds are lovely and firm. There are some nice little touches throughout the building (book exchange, ice machine, etc.). The bar looks very comfortable (though I didn't try it); the cooked breakfast was great. All in all, excellent value for money, especially for a short business trip.

Some of the fittings are a little tired, but no more than you'd expect in a busy London hotel (in fact rather less than you might expect given the price).
