About this property
Welcome to SW17 Rooms
SW17 Rooms is a modest hotel located at 914 Garratt Lane in London’s SW17 district. The property provides basic accommodations with essential amenities such as free Wi-Fi and maintains a smoke-free environment. However, it does not feature a pool, restaurant, or fitness center, which reflects its straightforward service approach.
Designed primarily for visitors focused on sightseeing and exploring the city, the hotel is positioned conveniently for accessing notable nearby attractions. Guests can easily reach landmarks such as the Natural History Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, and Buckingham Palace, all popular destinations for culture and history enthusiasts.
While the property benefits from connectivity to London’s major airports—Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted—with travel times ranging from under an hour to just over an hour and a half, some reviews highlight challenges with communication and check-in experiences. Prospective guests should consider these mixed reports when planning their stay.
SW17 Rooms may suit travelers seeking simple lodging without extra facilities, especially those whose plans revolve around getting out and about rather than spending extended time on the premises. Its practical location makes it a functional option for visitors prioritizing access over on-site amenities.

Ist sehr traurig. Das in London nicht alles so clean ist Wüste ich schon und will mich auch nicht darüber auslassen. Kommunikation ist wirklich sehr schlecht. Ich hatte wie zuvor vereinbart bei Ankunft angerufen, da wurde mir gesagt das ich 5 min warten solle, worauf? Nach ca 20 min nächster Anruf da wurde mir gesagt ich bekomme eine Nachricht. Doch Fehlanzeige. Dann ca 15 bis 20 Anrufe wo niemand ans Telefon ging. Ich hatte schon angenommen ich musse auf der Strasse schlafen. Dann habe ich mit einen anderen Telefon angerufen. Und siehe da nach 2 Stunden wurde mir ein anderes Haus zugewiesen und ich hatte ein Bett. Sehr schlechte Kommunikation.
