Rooms are small, but there are a lot of compartments for storage. Otherwise it was clean and the bed was comfy after long days of walking around the city. Perfect location near the tube and straight shot on one line from the airport. Restaurants around the area were great but food at the hotel for breakfast was good too. Will definitely stay here again on the next trip.

Over the past six decades I have stayed at scores of former Georgian townhouses near London train stations that have been turned into hotels. This is the FIRST one that I've stayed at that has been completely remodeled and modernized! While the rooms are still small, they are beautifully designed, and the large lobby area is a great place to work (rather than your room where there is no real desk). For a few pounds more, I would opt for a room with a window. For the money, however, I would pass on the breakfast as their are many options in the area: two tube stops are nearby: Earl's Court and South Kensington. The staff is young and enthusiastic.

Dreadful check in experience. The woman on reception asked for my ID even though this is not normally the case. She then went through the whole check in process. She then made me do it on the self checkout - what is the point of a staff member/self-checkout if you're duplicating tasks?! She then rambled on about breakfast - including the weekend times even though it was Thursday and it was clear that I just wanted to get to my room. I usually like Point A because the check in is quick. The man who checked me in this week was great. Friendly and quick. They're usually quick at King's Cross as well.

This property was very clean and safe with modern rooms that make the most use of the space. Not the most spacious, but it didn't bother me because of how nice the rooms were. I was very impressed and the only reason why I wouldn't give it 5 stars is because it was kind of a far from a train station, other than that it was perfect for my short stay.

Very disappointing. Check in was quick and room was ready upon arrival however the staff seemed very annoyed with being there. The room is… TINY. Not comfortable for more than 1 person. No where to store luggage, no where to unpack, no where to honestly just walk around without hitting the bed or a wall. The bathroom is even smaller. The way the wall is shaped you are hitting the wall with your knee anytime you need to use the restroom. Two things are what really solidifies my rating. 1.) There are signs stating a full service clean will be provided after the 3rd day. In my opinion a “full service cleaning” would, at the bare minimum” include clean bedding, new and neat towels, a wipe down of all surfaces including the bathroom, emptying of trash cans, and atleast a sweep of the room. However the only thing on that list that was done was new towels, and they were just thrown on the bed that I made before leaving. 2.) the second thing… and truly the most concerning. I left for two days and upon my arrival back to my room at midnight my room door was completely open… like not unlocked.. OPEN. I went straight to the front desk and the night crew employee had no cafe in the world to address said issue. I said I needed to speak with a manager immediately and of course one was not on duty. I said I needed one to call me the following day. This incident happened 4 days ago and what would you know… a manger has still not contacted me. HORRIBLE. Do NOT stay here!!!
