The room looked NOTHING like any of the photos, it was very 90s. It smelled strongly of cigarettes, I don’t know if someone had been smoking or if the previous guest was smelly but it was unpleasant. The tv was the smallest tv I’ve seen in living memory.

The room was as described and as the pictures, so met our expectation. The layout and amenities in the room were spacious, but it could do with an iron for those traveling from further away. The duvet and pillows are down which though luxurious, is a problem for allergies and the staff and housekeeping changed them for us, which was very helpful, and great service.

We had booked two rooms on the 2nd floor. Nice big rooms. A little noisy, because of the traffic. The air con was on in the hall, cooling it down to a chilly temperature, while in the bathrooms in the room, the heating was on. Not very environmentally conscious.

Staff was wonderful! Room was fine . Neighborhood good and good location. . I only would have liked a different type of shower head. It was not a big problem though and I enjoyed my stay there.

I understand the eco part of not using AC but when you show that as an amenity for the room, it should be in the room with the ability to use. I also didn’t have cold water. They did say they fixed it, and it went from hot to hotter to almost burning my skin off. I stayed in the duplex, which is a lovely spot except they showed the bed on the lower level and it was on the top level. The staircase is incredibly narrow, and I almost fell a few times. Also, when I booked the room in February, they stated they had smart TV capability when I got there in May, apparently that was disabled in April without knowing. I appreciate that the hotel allows cancellations, but I wish as an international traveler that I would’ve been charged at the time I booked the room with the option to have it refund refunded by a certain date as opposed to being charged on the date it could be canceled. This caused my trip to go up about $100 due to financial fluctuations within the countries. Sadly, I cannot remember the one incredibly wonderful woman who is just lovely and accommodating, but I thank her so much for at least listening and attending to the needs that I had asked her about. It is a very walkable safe area very close to Earls Court station. The only other issue I had was one night I got back at about 11 PM and the door was locked. Myself and two other travelers were trying to get in and had to bang on the door for about five minutes.

Enjoyable stay if a little small for taller guests

Really great stay. Only issue I had was the bed was rather small and placing the mini fridge at the end of the bed didn't give me much space for my feet to hang over. Probably not a big deal for most but being over 6ft it wasn't the best. Other than that the staff were friendly and helpful and the facilities clean and modern.
