Superb location for using the underground to get around London (Earl's Court station is about a 5 min walk away). While the room was quite small, it had everything we needed (2 people in the room) and was very modern; it was designed to maximize the utility of the space. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was a decent size. Everything was very clean. The breakfast was excellent and was worth the additional cost. Hotel staff were great. I would definitley stay here again the next time I'm in London.

Compliments to management

The management staff at this location did a great job. Nothing is perfect but when issues arise and the management takes care of those issues, that is what is impressive. Shout out to Anna (manager) and Chaglot for doing a great job. They should be given a raise.

Lovely at check in, I was 5/10 mins early before the check in time and was able to get sorted. Good size room, bed was very comfy and was happily surprised there was a little hair dryer (after getting completely soaked on the way from the tube station). Would definitely stay again when it's a good bargain.

Good location. Not bad for the price of London hotels. The room was very compact with no window but we did ask for a quiet room and it was very clean and tidy. The staff were lovely

Very nice place to stay, especially if if somewhere to sleep, wash and change, nice and clean but the room a little on the small side, not a lot of room to move around, would be very easy to knock off the tele whilst trying to manoeuvre around the bottom of the bed. Close to Ealing underground station which is good

A nice simple hotel which served it's purpose. Staff were extremely kind and helpful and the lobby was a great place to work for the day. The room though a little small was designed to utilise all the space very well and was clean and modern. Check in and check out were seamless and the location is very convenient.

Poor value for money

Even with double bed, very, very small room (and I've stayed in many hotels in Earls Court). I cannot imagine how 2 adults could fit in this room. Pros: clean, modern, comfortable bed, quiet room; room safe. Cons: no closets (that is not a luxury amenity) only wall hooks and hangars; no luggage rack so you have to live out of your suitcase on the floor; poor hot water pressure at bathroom sink; GBP 15 charge for early check-in; if only need them to store luggage until check-in, it's GBP 3 per bag (never encountered this in any other hotel); no ice machine (you need to ask for a cup of ice at the downstairs food service area); housekeeping done only after every 3 nights. I don't recall seeing any of these negatives disclosed on the hotel listing and would not stay in this hotel again or any Point A hotel.

Fire Hazard

Major safety hazard. We were placed in the basement with no windows. If there’s a fire you’re tapped there is no way out. Hotels.com you need a representative to check on every hotel you endorse. It’s become a hit or miss. If you need someone for this job please contact me. I’m a expert with quality management.

Great location but street side can be a bit noisy. Rooms are small, difficult to unpack/manage luggage in a room that small. Otherwise no issues. Clean and comfortable with good service. Easy walking anywhere from here for shopping to restaurants or heading out on the tube.
