I never in all my travels had such a good breakfast. Thank you for rocking it 3 out of 3 mornings/dishes. The location is amazing as well and everyone complaining about the noise: Don’t travel to London, into an old building like this without earplugs. Easy as that. And then it’s perfect. Room was comfy and clean.

I loved everything about my stay at the William! The location was excellent; a 5 min walk to Kensal Green station and an easy stroll into the city and Notting Hill. My room was also incredibly spacious with a big balcony, this was a bonus as a lot of rooms in this area are really small. I love that it had a real English pub feel about it but also had a nice clean bathroom and really comfortable king bed. Breakfast was included in my stay and it was delicious every morning, the pub meals were also great. I must make special mention of Tilde, who went to a lot of trouble to organise a late check-out for me and was very solicitous in making sure I had everything I needed.

Really for me absolutely nothing.

The effort to turn an old pub into a pub/bed and breakfast that one would find more likely outside of London but here it was just in London...though not central London. Personnel were fantastic...nice breakfasts...very easy to come and go... very easy to get everywhere on electic bikes that were found nearby.

The room was good for me traveling on my own but if my family was with me it would have been noted that there were many things needed updating and repair. For more fussy travelers, this could be a reason not to return....instead, mgmt should go do some simple repairs to avoid this!

We were greeted after a very long journey to London by a very friendly and courteous member of staff. We were asked priorities and told exactly what we needed to get to our room and relax after our journey. We had dinner at the restaurant that night. The hotel room was spotless and the bed very comfy, shower was great and nothing to fault. Complimentary tea and coffee and water in our room, which was replaced, which we were very grateful for. We also had a fan- seeing as it was 34 degrees this weekend that was also very considerate and much needed. Food at the restaurant was lovely! Its a 5-10 min walk from Kensal Green tube station on the Bakerloo line. The area is not too busy but close enough to make travelling easy. We walked down the canal into London, looking at all the boats along the way. Loads of water birds on the canal-such as heron, coots and cormorants. Its not far from Portobello market.

It was REALLY helpful to have a "base" from which to go around that was typical London and NOT in the middle of everything touristic. The London Underground was just 8 minutes walk away (Kensal Green) - convenient for anyone with all but the heaviest of baggage. Though it seems far out, Kensal Green station is just a 25 minute ride from Embankment Station - with its many connections. The William's personable staff were very accommodating, helpful and flexible in terms of letting me stow baggage - both before, ... and after checking in, so that I could go around. Late evening entry code provided. Thank you !!! Pretty good selections for the breakfast that was included in the price. I was assigned a rear wall room which was VERY quiet and clean. Washroom was also perfectly big enough for my needs. I would stay here again even though the price was a bit above my budget. As others have said, it was really nice to return to a pub atmosphere after trekking around London, and having breakfast provided helps to get one off to a good start in the morning.

Indeed, as others have also noted, the rooms here are smallish - but this is normal in Britain. This is an inn with nearly 200 years of history. It might be helpful if hosts mentioned steps up to rooms to prospective guests. Public areas on the way up might do with a sprucing up, ie. a steam clean etc. Personally, my room actually needed a modest table surface (see IKEA) rather than a luggage cradle. My single bed was comfortable enough - as there is insufficient space for even a twin mattress in the room. Travel note - Arriving by Underground from Central London, one should NOT take trains destined for Queen's Park, as they will stop short of the hotel by almost 3 km. Look for terminuses beyond Kensal Green. Do your homework.

I had a lovely stay at the William. The staff especially were great. It was convenient having the pub and restaurant below, and breakfast was fantastic. The location was very convenient for me, not strictly city centre but well connected by tube etc. I knew the William from when I lived in the area, so it was nice to go somewhere familiar. I booked a single room and I was delighted to get a spacious attic room.

I have one suggestion for the attic room, to highlight the roof angle when you enter, just painting the edge a different colour even, to avoid head bumps (and I am not tall). Also this room didn't have a tv - I didn't mind and it was great to have the extra space, especially in a London hotel.

The staff is super friendly and helpful, the breakfast is great. The bathroom was spotless, the shower had good pressure. There was a hairdryer, plenty of towels, some soap and shower gel. There was also a kettle, teas and instant coffee and complimentary canned water. Plenty of outlets, as well as a couple of USB ports. There's a Bakerloo line and overground station a couple of minutes away, several bus stops. It's a calm part of town, but well connected. Good value for money.

The beds are a bit too soft for our taste, the walls are quit thin, and a cupboard wouldn't hurt, but that's nitpicking really. We had a great stay and can only recommend staying here.

- The staff were incredibly kind and helpful! - The restaurant was amazing. We had breakfast and dinner there every day, and everything was delicious--especially the breakfast and the Sunday roast. They accommodated my husband with gluten-free options, including side dishes and bread. - We loved the charm of the hotel and its overall atmosphere. - The room was spacious and had a fantastic-sized terrace. The bed was very comfortable. It's on the softer side, which isn't our personal preference, but that’s subjective. - Bonus points for the huge towels, electric kettle (coffee, tea, sugar, and milk were provided and refilled daily), mobile radiator (while the room was warm, it was nice to have an extra option), travel adapter plug (UK to EU), and an excellent hairdryer (not those terrible, useless ones mounted in the bathroom). -It was very easy to get everywhere since the bus station is very close, about a 3-minute walk. (We don't suggest taking Uber ; it's very expensive.)

-Although the daily clean was nicely done, the room could have greatly benefitted from a deep clean, especially the carpet. The cleaning ladies did their duty by hoovering and it's completely not their fault! It's just the nature of carpets. -Guests should bear in mind that the bar is part of the restaurant, so it can get a bit loud at times. The music is typically not played too late—around 11ish—but you may hear it, and it could be a bit disturbing if you're a light sleeper.

excellent stay , great value for the room , room very spacious very clean & tidy , comfortable bed and pillows , perfect location for most destinations, overland station near by and bus route , pub was really good , meals and prices were really good as well as drink prices , very spacious bar with beer garden , staff are very friendly and welcoming, check in and check out faultless, breakfast was with price of room and again exceptional with plenty of choice , this pub is definitely worth staying at.

only that are room was at front of pub the pub and the road can be busy but this is not the fault of the pub. nothing else as our stay was comfortable and exceptional

The William's location was great for experiencing a London neighborhood like a local. The pub restaurant had great food. It's a nice gathering place for locals as well as guests of the Inn.

The stairs to the room were tiring when toting suitcases. The staff entered your room during the day to clean and leave water, and we had a couple of glasses missing. I'm sure they thought they were from the downstairs pub, but they were not (we purchased them at another pub across town).
