From the first moment at reception, our stay was amazing. Easy registration process, bags were stored until our room was ready and then they were carried up to room. Breakfast recommendation provided for a pub a short walk away plus a !0% discount card. Then clear directions to the Natural History Museum. The next day, reception helped download our tickets for Hamilton and printed a copy for us. Very personable and very caring front desk staff!

The Good: Very clean and refurbished. Coffee machine. The bad: Small room, lots of stairs, Not very comfortable bed, terrible 3rd bed. Also, no breakfast, no free bottle water and the receptionist was very cold. I’ve seen other staff being much nicer than him. All in all, I will never stay in this hotel again, we stayed in much better similar price hotels and were much much better. We paid £536 for two nights so not cheap!! But we were tricked by the very high rating on Expedia.

Perfect location for seeing the sights in London

Comfortable and clean room. I did hear the people above me a lot as they walked around the room, but I think that is hard to avoid given that hotels are in older buildings. But, if you are a light sleeper something to keep in mind. Otherwise staff were friendly and room was as expected based on the hotels.com listing. Very handy having my own little kitchenette to store drinks, snacks and meals. Great location as less than 5 minute walk to Earl's Court station which provides direct service to Heathrow on the Piccadilly line and direct service to Westminster/Buckingham Palace/Tower of London areas on district line. Also, walkable to a small grocery store, shops and plenty of food places.

Cute rooms in a nice neighborhood with pubs and access to groceries. For tourists, I cannot overstate how nice it is to be close to the Earl's Court transport station because it made getting anywhere we wanted in the city via tube super easy. Also it is within easy walking distance of major attractions like th Natural History Museum. We would for sure stay here again next time we are in London.

Lovely spot, would return again.

The hotel is very nice, with a terrific location. Fairly quiet, in a residential area, but close to a commercial street and the Earls Court tube station. The staff are very good - courteous, friendly, efficient. My only misgivings, which we overcame, was the lack on information on how to use the shower and the coffee maker.
