A nice place to spend a few days as well as a longer holiday. Ann and John are really nice and kind people. We lodged in jacuzzi and rose room. Linens, towels, rooms and bathrooms were clean and in order in general. A few details in the rooms should have needed more care, but we tend to considered this as... More

First off, let me say that this guest house is fine if you aren't looking for luxury. We were staying there for one night to attend a party nearby and as we didn't get in until the early hours & weren't planning on lounging around in the room, it was perfectly fine. The owners are a little bit Fawlty Towers...John... More

I stayed at the Ossian Guesthouse for more than 2 weeks in 2011 and again for 1 week in March, 2012. It´s almost my "second home" and I like the place and also the friendly hosts (Ann and John) who always make me feel "at home" in London. The rooms are beautiful, the breakfast is great and you can sleep... More

Ossian guest house is a beautiful, warm, friendly place to stay... Myself and my business partner stay in this guest house on a bi-monthly basis and have always received more then friendly, excellent customer service on each visit. For my line of work the guest house is perfectly situated close to Central London, 20mins or so by tube, but nestled... More

Booked a room for my parents when they came to visit London. The Ossian took a credit card booking from me over the phone, only to demand my parents pay in cash when they checked out. Horrendous customer service, very unwelcoming and well overpriced. Stay away. More

We spent three nights in a jacuzzi room and our friends stayed in the french room. The hospitality from the hosts were good, but John had a very negative attitude towards our jobs and Scandinavia (as we live in), which was not very nice. The rooms were nice and could set a high standard if you put down a little... More

Excellent b&b located in a quiet area, very close to the bus stop and not so far from the metro station. Good quality of service and nice rooms. The hosts are very kind. Perfect solution for a vacation in London. PS: there is the wifi internet connection, but actually only in the main hall. Inside the bedroom the signal is... More

I've stayed a few times and each stay has been very comfortable. Ann & John are always very welcoming and their breakfasts are great. The Rose room also has a steam-room in the shower. I always have a very relaxing stay. More

I had really high hopes for this place as the website was fantastic. My husband and I stayed for a night as we were going to see a band at the Alexandra Palace and the Ossian was within walking distance. The owners are really nice people but unfortunately they do not deliver what they say they can. We stayed in... More
