Good room, ample size. Quite noisy though as hotel is positioned on a main road and the blinds are not black out blinds so woke very early. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom completely new. Would stay again.

Great location

Brilliant location only five mins from Earls Court Station and facilities were good too. Great communication in advance of arrival as no staff present. Only slight downside is that the road is incredibly busy even at night and so suffers a little with traffic noise.

Handy place to base yourself in London

Extremely handy to transport options in Earls Court, the rooms are well appointed with lots of storage options. There is a virtual front desk, but any requests are responded to in a timely manner.

This property is very close to public transport and shops. The rooms are small but well thought out. Reminded us of living on a boat or in a tiny house. Check-in is done over the phone which was new to us but went smoothly.

Liked: Amenities
Firstly, the location was excellent. A few minutes away from the Tube (Earl's Court) and a bus stop right outside that took me exactly where I needed to go. Also less than 10 minutes walk from a big Tesco. The room has plenty of storage despite it's size, and had all the amenities I needed. The room could have been cleaner though. The shower head was very rusty, which was rather off-putting and also meant water didn't come out properly. The bathroom had a bit of an odd smell. The location was also a bit of a downside, as I was on the 2nd floor and there was a lot of traffic noise. If you are a light sleeper (which fortunately I'm not) you might struggle to get a good nights sleep. I was visiting London for work and on a bit of a budget, so the hotel did exactly what I wanted and felt it was worth the money.

I am definitely going to book this place again. We went to a concert in Hyde Park and this was perfect for a one night stay. Great location, great value. Right opposite the tube station and within reach of poplar takeaways. Clean, tidy and safe. Bit noisy at night with ambulances passing but the air-con was top draw! 😊
