We like the hotel, the cleanliness and the bed. I love the lightning and fixtures. The noise outside the room can be loud during mornings. We wouldn’t mind vacuums but not loud voices. Overall, we enjoyed our stay with this hotel.

The room was very small. For one night was ok. We liked the location. It was closed to Earl’s court station also to shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly.

Great location around the corner from the Earl's Court Tube Station. Good and clean rooms. Lifts at hotel. Some stairs to get to the entrance. Hotel has a few different buildings right next to each other, so you may have to enter (via small set of stairs) to check in, and then go to other building to get to your room.

Nice hotel

The hotel is located less than five minutes from Earls Court tube station with Bakerloo and Piccadilly Line connections, which are about 15 minutes from London centre. I paid about £125 for a deluxe double, and it was very nice. The sleeping area had room to walk around the bed, a safe, a fridge (with water supplied). What I also liked was that all the lighting was controlled from either side of the bed. The ensuite was compact, but the shower area was a good size, and the heated floor is a nice touch. The hotel does a continental breakfast for £25 which seemed excessive to me. There are enough coffee shops locally so I would eat elsewhere. Staff were pleasant, and check-in was simple. The room and hotel seemed generally well maintained. However, while I was there, the lift was out of order, so it was stairs only. Access to the hotel is up five large steps. If you need to stay in the Earls Court area, this is worth considering in the type of room I had.

Hotel was in largely good condition the view from our room wasn’t amazing, as it looked out onto the laundry sorting area, but we got a good deal.
