Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The William is frequently praised for its delicious breakfast, offering a great start to the day, with options to suit various dietary needs. The spacious rooms, some featuring balconies, provide comfortable accommodations and, for some, great value for money despite occasional observations about the hallway carpets being dated. Conveniently located near bus stops and the tube, attractions such as Notting Hill and Queen's Park are within easy reach, while the on-site pub with its appealing menu serves as a popular spot for both guests and locals alike.

a good gem

fresh choicesample roomstained carpet
i found the breakfast options fantastic, with fresh choices each morning i appreciated the bus stop so close because i could get back even when the underground wasn't running. our room felt spacious, giving us ample room to get ready it really added to the experience. the chef adapted a meal to be gluten-free, that was so helpful.
i noticed the carpet in the room was stained and could really use a deep clean the window also wouldn't open, making the room quite warm i mentioned this to the staff, and i hope it can be addressed.
