“Review of Barclay House”

Reviewed 3 April 2013

We arrived at Barclay House early in the morning of the 5th March and stayed for 4 nights and returned on 18th March and stayed for a further 3 nights. The location of Barclay House is ideal in that you can walk to the train station and bus stops within a couple of minutes. There are 2 supermarkets within 2... More

Problem with this review?

Guests who stay twice in a few weeks are the best compliment we can ask for! So many guests appreciate the close proximity (1-minute walk) of the extensive 'specialist foods' (fresh and packaged) at 3 major grocery stores, as well as a major health food store, and street market for gluten-free, vegan, organic, no additives and other 'free from' foods;...

“Lovely, warm B&B in London.”

Reviewed 26 March 2013

I had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, clean B&B in London's Fulham neighborhood. Close to the tube station and mini-mart/mall and approximately 30 minutes from Heathrow. Stayed in the single en suite room, which was the perfect size for me, with a full size/single bed, shower, toilet, wardrobe closet, and slim desk with flat screen tv and small reading... More

Highest praise from a real New Yorker is indeed the best compliment. Such a nice guest, open to new suggestions about London 'corners', as well as our recommendation for a private doctor in the neighbourhood! We look forward to your return when we hope that you can enjoy a drink on our summer roof terrace. More

“A pleasant stay and will definitely return”

Reviewed 24 March 2013

I learned Barclay House from Lonely Planet and have stayed in their double room with king size bed for 4 days. I highly recommend this B&B to those who look for comfort, sincere hospitality and a silent corner in Cenral London. They offered food and coffee of good quality like Nespresso coffee and bread from M&S. Beddings and bathroom facilities... More

Another very pleasant business guest who knows what counts when staying in the city of cities, London. We are looking forward to your next visit! More

“Brilliant stay.”

Reviewed 7 February 2013

Hosts where lovely, this is a really sympathetically designed b&b that is far nicer than many 'showy but soulless hotels in the area' . Everything was spotless, sheets and beds beautiful quality, bathrooms really smart and clean, we actually stayed in their smallest room, but it was actually just perfect as we didn't really need to have bigger, however book...

Over a glass of wine we learned that this guest is a rising-star chef who runs a very upmarket 'restaurant with rooms' in the Somerset countryside (ask us for the address as we are not allowed to post it here, unfortunately). So, we were thrilled that they were thrilled with everything we offer, including compliments on our homemade muffins for... More

“Fabulous central easy access - returning in March!”

Reviewed 23 December 2012

After years of hotels we decided to try a b and b and a special one for our 4 days stay in London in December! I loved the review in Sawdays and decided to book Barclay House. The choice has been excellent: great location AND customer service. We accepted the smallest room without an ensuite bathroom because the other rooms... More

Fabulous guests; this HR executive knows her stuff, and her boutique hotels in major cities! Glad she (et al) loved it here. It is Christmas Day, so thanks be to God that we are on track again with happy guests who appreciate the value that we offer in the super expensive city of cities, London! More

“Not at central location, but the room was nice and comfortable”

Reviewed 11 December 2012

We stayed here for 6 nights. Before we arrived we had no idea of its location from the city centre, but it turned out to be at a 'not bad' location. Although it's in zone 2 of underground network, at the station of Fulham broadway, we found it acceptable with our planning of where to go in these 6 days.... More

We are bit confused by this review to be honest so will email the guest to better understand changes we could implement regarding 'service', especially for future Hong Kong guests. We've had several HK guests this year and have enjoyed exchanging stories with them about our trip to HK and gathering tips for our next visit. Regarding not knowing location... More

“Central, comfortable, and modern”

Reviewed 10 December 2012

We stayed for 3 days there, and we really appreciated it. It's modern, comfortable, and closed to the best part of London. The public transportation are very easy to use from there. The help-your-self kitchen is perfect for a little herbal tea before sleeping. And the owner told us to go to the Spencer House, which was gorgeous, and only... More

Thanks for the compliments. These guests expressed appreciation for the small details that we have built into the two 'luxe-for-less' en suite guest rooms. In fact, there were guests staying in the other room, but perhaps the combination of our new wall and floor eco insulation as well as sound-attenuated glass added to the peaceful atmosphere. Our home-baked cookies were... More

“Not impressed”

Reviewed 5 December 2012

I advise to read also the negative reviews on Trip Advisor about this establishment - there is much truth in them still today. It is not for everyone. Despite the initial helpfulness with booking, on arrival it went downhill - from that I had to stand outside in the cold waiting for someone to let me in at late at... More

We have never had a situation like this one. I am very sorry that this guest departed so quickly without mentioning to me a word of concern or disappointment. We are always grateful to guests for their suggestions and act on them immediately, when given the opportunity. Only after the guest's abrupt departure on Saturday afternoon for a ‘sudden, unscheduled... More

“Good Things do come in Small Packages”

Reviewed 21 November 2012

A small room that is well thought out is a joy to stay in. The front room at the Barclay House London has a great big comfortable bed, two good reading lights, elegant robes with slippers, quality soaps and just enough of everything else that one needs fitted into the room and adjoining bathroom. Brand new in every aspect and... More

These world travellers have stayed in the best of the best, so we are pleased that they enjoyed our luxe-for-less guest rooms. As mentioned in this review, guests continue to express enthusiasm for how our architect succeeded in maximising the room space with guests' short-term travel needs in mind. And all the extras that you don't want taking up valuable... More

“Great B&B!”

Spent a couple nights at the Barclay House and was more than delighted with my stay. First of all, the place was very clean and cozy. Loved the remodeled bathroom by the way! I'm not sure what sort of bed that was, but it just had me falling asleep within seconds! Location-wise, it's a couple minutes walk to the closest... More

Guests do love our beds, each with award-winning RLangford hotel-styled high upholstered headboard and best mattress. We've had several guests from Hong Kong recently; shopping is their passion! Many have discovered our local shops here in Fulham/Parsons Green, including the so English Emma Bridgewater pottery and all things vintage from CathKidson, as well as bargains to be had at local...
