What Guests Say About Their Stay

I selected this property for the hot summer of August 2026 since it had air conditioning. Our triple was small - there was space to get around the beds but as it typical for hotels in this price range it did feel a bit crowded when luggage is opened for access. Room was very clean with a kettle for tea, toiletries provided, thick plush towels and easy access to Earls Court Station, in fact the property backs onto the station. Friendly staff and you can leave luggage before your room is ready or after check out (which we did), convenient neighbourhood at the edge of Zone 1 for the London Underground served by District and Piccadilly lines. Would stay here again.

Arrived in London from Australia in the we small hours. Headed straight for hotel to drop off cases at 6:30am. Staff were welcoming and happy to help. Hotel is literally 3mins from Earls Court tube. After wandering along the Thames for the day we checked in late afternoon. No dramas there. It looks like the hotel has been very recently renovated as the room was absolutely pristine. Super comfy bed. Great shower..... what more can I say other than we'd be paying 3 x what we paid to stay somewhere as nice as this in Sydney! Highly recommended.

Hotel was perfect! Amazing location, close enough to walk to icons like Kensington/Hyde Park or Harrods, but far enough to not feel overwhelmed by people at the location. M&S Food and Tesco Express within walking distance, train station was about a 2 minute walk. Room had airconditioning which worked exactly as we had hoped (learnt quickly that a lot of hotel in the UK don't have aircon). Room is very small but very aesthetically pleasing. Bathroom is beautiful. Bed is comfortable. Staff were kind and helpful. Just be aware the hotel is across a few different buildings so you might have to haul a few heavy suitcases up the entry stairs to the door a few times.

We had no complaints about our stay in April but we were charged a 100£ deposit upon check-in which has still not been refunded after multiple follow ups with the hotel! Very frustrating!

Room booked because it supposedly had air-conditioning which it had for only one day. We booked it for six nights. Also air-conditioning is preset and you cannot adjust. It was set for 78 degrees fahrenheit. Temperature outside was 93 degrees. Room was very clean.

Our room was very clean. Although it was very compact, it was functional as a place to sleep. The a/c was much appreciated! We did not opt for breakfast, nor were we actually given information about it until we asked. Safe in room was also appreciated. Location is great. Close to two tube stations. Nice neighborhood with a grocery store (M&S) right at the end of the street.

Great location near the tube station. Staff were friendly, rooms were modern and clean. Check-in was smooth. Oh, and it was air conditioned, which was a huge plus. There were one or two minor maintenance items needing attention, (light flickering when dimmed, mirror loose) which is a shame considering how clean and nice the rooms are. Given everything plus the reasonable price, I would choose to stay here again.
