It was a great choice! I loved that it was 2 minutes walk to Earl’s Court underground station, and 1 minute walk from Starbucks! Also M&S grocery store is literally in front of the hotel and many more restaurants and fast food. Staff were very nice and helpful! The room was very small which is expected all through European Hotels comparing to other countries! But it had everything you need. The mattress was very comfortable, the pillows, and the rest of the stuff. It also had a mini fridge. My only issue was the hair dryer. I forgot that the plugs are not compatible with US appliances so I could not use my own hairdryer or curler! And the hotel hairdryer kept overheating mid drying and I had to wait 2 minutes after one minute use to cool down! So for drying my hair I had to spend too much time!

Extremely hot because room was way overheated in March. Very noisy in the morning with workmen in the room above me. Room wasn’t well cleaned.. dirty socks left under the chair. The lighting system was not user friendly. The room looked nice enough but there were a lot of impediments to good sleep.

Bathroom rubbish. Mirror hanging off the wall. Had to climb in the bath to put the plug in - poorly designed. Plug broke and unable to enjoy a bath as water flowing through - reported to staff. Hairs in the bath. Staff not friendly - not friendly on check in our check out. No apology for room malfunctions. Bedroom nicely decorated but tv on side wall. Unable to watch in bed. No sound on certain channels - no sound on bbc1 Would not recommend, much nicer hotels same area for same price.

The bathroom had an unpleasant smell even though it appeared clean. I was also unable to control the air conditioning from my room, which made the stay less comfortable. However, the staff were very helpful and supportive throughout my stay.

I read a lot of negative reviews online about this hotel after booking and it made me really nervous but I’m pleased to report there were no rats as reported the money deposit was in my account before I go on the train home the staff whilst at times were blunt were also very helpful with what I asked of them the hotel was clean and modern the bathroom even had heated flooring I was in the smallest room available which was a single bed room but there was still enough room to move around and was typical of a single room in any British hotel I’ve stayed in. The location was amazing in the beautiful Earl’s Court and the station was only a couple of minutes walk round the corner I write this to ease the mind of future visitors I would 100% visit again. Great value for money in a beautiful London hotel. My absolute only discrimination would be that in my particular room they could’ve hoovered up a bit better and under the bed wasn’t hoovered at all but again for £50-60 a night in a London hotel which is very modern and in a great location I am overwhelmed with value for my money.
