We spent 7 nights at Benny's and would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable place to stay. It's not palatial or upscale, but it's very good value if you're travelling on a budget! Our futon mattress had seen better days, but we still managed to get a good night's sleep. Our triple (which was actually a quad with fridge and closet) faced South Ealing road, but with the fan on all night, and the windows closed, we were not bothered by any noise. Our room was clean (though a lick of paint would get rid of a lot of scuff marks on the walls). We were a little surprised not to have our room serviced at all during the week, but as we are not slobs, it didn't really pose a problem. When we ran out of toilet tissue, we simply asked for more.
Benny and his #1 helper, Sindu are both lovely and make you feel very welcome. At breakfast, help yourself to croissants and fruit and juice, and then one of them will serve you tea or coffee and take your order for eggs on toast, toast or a ham and cheese Toasty.
Benny recommended two restaurants that are close by; an India/Nepalese restaurant, whose name I can't remember, but where we had a very tasty dinner, and the local pub, the Rose and Crown, where we had a number of good meals. The BB location is wonderful, very close to the Tube station, a couple of grocery shops, restaurants and a block from a laundromat (beware - the dryer we used was very hot, drying a big load, including jeans in 30 minutes. I'd suggest asking the owner is there is a medium setting - or be careful what you put in!).
