The hotel was much nicer than I expected, especially for the price. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very nice, though both were on the small side. Breakfast was adequate. Location was excellent, very near the tube and in a very nice neighborhood.

This hotel is in a charming neighborhood. It was certainly adequate for one night as a solo traveler. The room was quite small, but had everything I needed. The front desk people were welcoming and helpful. The restaurant was very good.

Stayed 5 nights in a single room. It was spacious and I was able to open and lay my luggage flat without a problem. The room was clean, especially the bathroom there's no mold. Breakfast was great, it was the same every morning but had enough variety for me. The best part was that the Earl's Court train station was just around the corner, a 5 minute walk away.

This seems a pretty newly renovated property. Nicely done. The room is adequate size, Typical for London. The bar and restaurant area are quite nice. Breakfast buffet has a good selection. This is a good choice for a little outside of the west end. Earls Court tube is a 2 minute walk. With great access from/to Heathrow and central London by tube.

small but comfortable room, bathroom a bit tight, good breakfast choice, nice Bar and restaurant. House keeping good. Reception Staff very pleasant. Great location, quite side street overlooking Park but 3 min walk to Tube, lots of restaurant choices near by. No kettle in room and coffee maker really slow and annoying, could only get BBC I player on TV so limited channel viewing again really annoying, slow Lift.

The hotel looks good from the outside and in reception. It might be because of how much i paid for the room but the room was one of the first I stayed. The furnite were new and good however the location of the room and humidity in it were very discomforing.

Super clean, friendly, and safe. I needed a last minute room for the night and the staff were super helpful. It’s a great place to unwind, and a perfect space to rest for the night. Lovely amenities and super comfortable bed! Aircon and heating which was fab! I stayed as a solo traveller and never had any concerns about my safety, and I was able to get some proper rest! My second time at the hotel - it’s definitely my go to in the area. It’s also so close to Earl’s Court station and so is really convenient and close to everything - which was perfect! Only comment - and it’s super minor: the light on the fire alarm was really bright. Because the blackout curtains were so effective it ended up lighting up the room bright green. Really not a huge deal, but I can imagine if I was here for longer it would’ve been a bit annoying!
