“Lamplighter Guesthouse presents a surprisingly good value, especially considering its prime location near The Hoe and Barbican; my impression is that it delivers a comfortable, clean stay without unnecessary fuss. Nigel, the proprietor, seems to genuinely care about his guests, extending a warm welcome and serving a breakfast that, from what I've seen, is prepared with real care, a definite advantage for such an affordable guesthouse.”
