The halls consist of three separate buildings with private single study bedrooms of 4/6 or 8 in self-contained flats with wash basins. The bathroom and kitchen/diner is shared only with the other occupants of the flat.
Situated on a pleasant paved piazza, this hall is ideal for the traveller wanting to get a real feel for the sights and sounds of London.

Dr Jamie Goodwin-White, October 2012: I regularly come to London and will stay many times again. I stayed at Alexander Fleming House at a point in time just before I moved to the US (after my lease in London was up). It was a stressful time for me as I had many things to do and people to see before I moved countries. All of the staff at the front desk and housekeeping staff were exceptional -- both helpful and incredibly pleasant. I specially want to thank Sinead, who arranged for my favourite coat I left behind to be shipped to the US. Thanks so much! 5/5
Mr Michael Smyth, October 2012: Always happy to stay at Alexander Fleming House . Unbeatable value for money . I will stay again if available .
Mike Smyth 5/5
Ms Rachel Whitfield, October 2012: V friendly welcome. Room v clean. 5/5
Mrs Felicity Walker, September 2012: I found the staff friendly and helpful. They changed my towels daily which I wasn't expecting. When there was noise at night security managed to quieten it down so I enjoyed my stay and pleased to find a bath not just a shower. I'd stay again. The room was clean, had enough storage and the bed was comfortable. Having free wifi made it cheaper than a youth hostel would be for a single room and better than most. 4/5
Mr David Lewis, August 2012: Room was good, as to be expected from the description. 3/5
Mrs Shirley Packwood, August 2012: Immaculately clean at all times. 4/5

Miss Emily Couvreur, June 2012: I had a great stay and I feel that, overall, the experience was great.
I would have liked the bathroom to have been a bit cleaner (although I understand that you do not clean these for guests who are staying in non-ensuite accommodation!)
Overall, I was very happy with my stay. 5/5
Mr Christian Rassi, June 2012: good central location 4/5
Miss Angela McClelland, June 2012: Had some trouble with my key, and then with the internet... which meant I had to climb up and down an inordinate number of stair cases on arrival. Other than that, everything was perfect.. and a whole lot better than the similarly priced budget hotels I've been staying in. 5/5
