Family-run bed and breakfast in London's Hampstead since 1962
Accommodations & History
La Gaffe occupies a cluster of terraced cottages built in the 1850s, set on the site of an 18th-century shepherd's cottage. The 18 compact rooms each have an en-suite bathroom, with some offering a jacuzzi bath and a ceiling fan. Guest reviews note that rooms are clean and comfortable, with bedding and towels refreshed daily, though the building has no lift and the stairs are steep.
Dining & Breakfast
A complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning in the dining room, with fresh bread rolls, fruit, and made-to-order coffee from an espresso machine. The hotel also has a bar that serves drinks in the evening, with a coffee house on site. Guests can order wine and champagne, and the dining room features classical music and vintage-style paper tablecloths.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The hotel is 300 metres from Hampstead Underground Station on the Northern line, providing a 12-minute journey to London's West End. Hampstead Heath is a 5-minute walk away, with Kenwood House, the Freud Museum, and Highgate Cemetery within easy reach. The Hampstead village offers shops, bakeries, and pubs such as the Holly Bush and the Flask, all within a few minutes' walk.
Services & Amenities
La Gaffe provides luggage storage, express check-in/check-out, and daily housekeeping with laundry and dry cleaning services available. The hotel has safety deposit boxes, CCTV in common areas and outside, and key access for security. Meeting and banquet facilities can be arranged, and the staff can organise walking tours, bike tours, and pub crawls for guests.
Awards & Recognitions
The hotel holds a Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence and has been inducted into the Tripadvisor Hall of Fame, reflecting consistent high ratings from guests. It has been family-run since 1962, with a long-standing reputation in Hampstead as a beloved institution. Many returning guests cite the personalised service from owner Lorenzo and his team as a reason for repeat visits.
