My wife and I stayed 5 nights at Hilda's and enjoyed our time. Some mornings we took the bus into central London (35-40 minutes), other mornings we took the tube (10 minute walk to the station, 20 minutes or so on the tube) - it was a perfect location for either! Hilda was very helpful in providing maps and books about London, and answering any travel or sightseeing questions we had. The new bed was great, and the room is fairly spacious. The hot water can be tricky, but a bath is an easy way to deal with it. A highly recommended place to stay in London, and a great value!
